MasTec Employer Reviews

My overall review for Mastec is a good one, my time with Mastec was very knowledgeable and I increased in my knowledge of the trade.

Met some good people while here...
Typical day was busy and fast
Management is good
Co-workers are good
Hardest part of the job was the stress of the pace
The people were the most enjoyable

The job was very flexible and as an entry level worker progress was good.

Company vehicle allows you to save on gas, provides healthcare, but has high pressure high demand.

I lost this job because they said i was late to a jobsite when i was talking to another technician at the time they said i wasnt there at the job site and would not even talk to the tech who was there with me to verify.

This company has it all from working long hours, to forcing you to doctor you time sheet and screwing you out of money even allowing technician with suspended license drive company trucks. The satisfaction of you and your client knowing you've done a darn good job is all to look forward to. They will make sure a promotion is put of reach by setting – more...  impossible goals and if you are looking for a career in telecommunications,TRUST ME this place is just a pit stop. – less

It was a fast pace job and required meeting a daily # of calls. On the phone all day with customers resolving install issues. Also, assited techs with getting appointment arrival times to customers.

Hardest part: not being able to get the customer to understand why tech was running late for their appointment.

Most enjobable part: speaking with a varity – more...  of personalities.

Co-workers: always enjoy meeting people and making new friends.

Management: helpful and supportive. – less

The technician is to blame for everything. They don't work with their techs, and even if the equipment fails, the tech reaps the negative.

Difficult, with low pay for unskilled labor. The "score" sheet is set up against you. An employee can lose his raise just because of the actions of the customer, at no fault to the tech. Everyone who works for this company absolutely hates it, but stay because a job is better than no job. That is actually the saying you hear from the management. You – more...  can spend 4 hours working on a house and only be paid 20 dollars. Going home is the most enjoyable part of that job. You are paid at piece rate, which means the faster you can install the more you can make. If you don't make enough in 40 hours, they just pay you minimum wage. – less

worked there as a foreman and as a journeyman absolutley loved the expirience i had in south and central florida we stayed on top of our training new employees and how we handeled day to day operations to include storm restoration over all melbourne florida south was wonderful south georgia was absolutly miserable the have no qualified help and would – more...  not train there employees i ended up watching the worst case of good ole boy cost employees
jobs to include accidents and that was main reason i was seeking a new job they found out and i was gone – less

It would be nice if the contract end period never came.I enjoyed working with the vendors. It was especially nice to be able to travel to different cities. I liked the fact that no two sites were the same. This required that every technical skill I thought I knew, had to be applied in a different manner. I think this enviroment works well for me.

Mastec was a contractor for Cox Communications until they were not happy with the pay and did not warn us it was our last day. We were transferred to Florida with no perdium. We drove the company vehicles over night to a hotel that the company had not even set up for us. It was not guareenteed mooney either.

Company promotes within. Working on base salary plus piece rate really gives you the ability to make money.

They do not compensate you properly for your hard labor. This company will also blame you for everything done wrong instead of helping you. The benefits were awful and were exspensive.
