MasTec Employer Reviews

Work six day a week one day off. Never know where you are going ot what you are doing.

I have been working for mastec for about a month already and I can honestly say this is the worst job ever. They work you so much you never get to see your family and when you get home you are to tired and exhausted to do anything.I was recently let go because I had gotten sick with the stomach flu and was in the er so I forgot to call in before 8 and – more... so they marked me down as a no call no show. I was working at an apartment complex here in south Texas with no wind and at least 100 degrees and when I go to take a 30 minute break the supervisor calls me saying I'm taking too long. Upon explaining that I was dizzy and nauseous from the heat he proceeded to tell me I should be working and not resting, this job had taken me 5 hours and all I got paid was 35 dollars. $35 for breaking my back and coming close to heat exhaustion. If you don't mind working for idiots and working in extreme conditions with hardly any pay this job is for you – less

While Mastec is a well known company within the communication business, it is a very high stress environment due to lack of employees based off workload. As a Project Manager, you interact with every level of Management of both AT&T and other communication companies.

Used to.a good place to at,until 3 years ago.techs comes and go every month,techs quit,get fired,new training class every month.some techs do one or two jobs all day,cost MASTEC money in gas and time and no one care.ups saves money on gas and MASTEC is the worst company in wasting gas.

Good job to work at it was fun. I love dealing with people on the regular bases. Even more when I am making them happy upon my departure.

Enjoyed the opportunity of making a good living. Tough work, a lot of traveling, and sometime pulled some late hours

You work you butt off, tho they supply the van and gas there are times you drive to an hour and half away from each job and the job does not go in and they pay you NOTHING. I worked and drove all day several time and made literally nothing because each job had to many trees or even reschedules at the door and mastec will not pay you so you waist your – more... entire day, I and a few other previous techs are currently sueing them and so far my lawyer is happy cuz they just joined another law firm and the case is going into federal courts (Massachusetts) has the best employement laws in all of the country so there screwed... – less

It is easy to make lots of money by picking up extra work! You will drive to customers' homes to service, upgrade and install DirecTV satellite systems. Management expects you to know how to do your job well with little to no supervision, but they are there to help you when you need it. You must be able to work with little supervision and manage your – more... time wisely. – less

Don't do it. It's all true! I just turned my van in, no one there cares if you starve or not. They will take your hourly away and then expect you to know everything after the training with a guy that could care less whether you learn or not what he is supposed to teach you. It totally sucks, the customers want freebies and want you to do free work for – more... them. DirectTv makes all kinds of demands on you even though they are not paying you hourly. They expect you to have a smile on your face when you arrive at a customers home, when you know that you are about to get bent and they are about to try and make you wrap that house with cable and they will want it for free and then you walk away with a measly 45 to 60 dollars. After you spend about three hours doing all of that they will want to give you a bad review after you leave their house. Mastec will then give you jobs at 5 pm, when you've been at it since six that morning for a meeting with supervisors who threaten you with loosing your job. It's the worst place to work. Don't do it, you will notice that people leave and get hired weekly. It is a revolving door, they hire and hire and hire people all week long 24 hours a day seven days a week. It's a complete nut job of a job, if you are crazy you will work here for very little money and will survive on all the lies and stealing that you will do to customers. The people that have been here for longer than five years are either scamming the customers, and the company and pocketing the custom work money, or they are completely insane for working so hard for so little. The smart people leave early as soon as they realize what a sham of a job it is. Not very many people here have been here for more than five years, I would say most people leave after a few months and most only last a year at most. What a sorry place to work. Don't expect anyone to care whether you make it or not. You can try working here, but when you get stuck and call your supervisor he won't answer the phone, and when you call your buddies you thought would help you out in the field, they will be as clueless as you are about what to do. Can you believe that the idiot who owns the company came out on that show about bosses who care about their employees? What a douchebag! You know your in trouble when they have to go to hollywood to try and make good representation of themselves. This is the worst place to work at, don't do it! You will regret it, God knows I do! I had a better opportunity that I should have taken. Good luck if you decide to do this, and you will need it. – less

A good place to work if you want an administrative role. It is a small office in Centennial so everyone knows each other. There is really a great environment.

Every morning, CoV inventory is maintained. Each customer is called to confirm arrival ETA. DirecTV/Mastec driving safety standards are utilized throughout the day. Upon arrival at customer's house, and following an appropriate and friendly introduction, a site survey is conducted to determine best satellite dish installation. Stringent safety and quality – more... installation standards are upheld to maintain strong client-company relations. A customer education session is performed post-installation. We are not to leave until the customer is completely satisfied with their installation, have a confident understanding of DirecTV functionality, and have information on what to do if their DirecTV system were to have a problem. Open communication with management is maintained throughout the day to bring success to a fast-paced, ever-changing work environment. – less

This is by far a good company to work for, but, like all "at will" companies there is no loyalty for dedicated loyal employees which is the way the work world is going.

It has good benefits, but compensation stays with higher management.

Trained for about 1 Month
had a different job offer
Paid while trained

A typical day at work is about 140 calls outbound and inbound from customers and technicians.I learned how to manage my time and multitask. My co-workers are very helpful and caring. The hardest part of the job is multitasking. The most enjoyable part of the job is resolving customer issues.

Installing direct tv learned new skills and worked very hard in an outside enviroment learned how to work with new tools and working in attics

long days and nights, great product, good co-workers. sups don't care about employee as long as job gets done.

I did a combination of office duties. Payroll, A/P and A/R. Also did job costing

Mastec is a company where able to travel and meet different people everyday

Although I highly appreciate the flexability when it comes to work/home life theres only so far you can advance in this company.

A typical work day would start off with getting a email with my jobs for the day. if i needed equipment i would go to the wearhouse to pick it up. then i would call the coustomers to let them know about what time i would be ariving. i lerned about how satellites work. Management was ok. The hardest part of the job was if you didnt put anything in you – more... didnt get paid. On the other hand if you put in a lot you would get great pay. – less
