Pros

Aspires to be a great place to work. Involved in the community. You get to work outdoors, independently in a fast paced environment.

Cons

Split shifts with only 1 weekend day off. 4 10 hour work schedule leads to long hours. Workload can easily exceed shift hours. Mentor program is more of a QA program, focus is on cleaning up prior techs mess instead of teaching, supporting and leveraging mentor experience and insight to avoid new hire mistakes. Too much work for a low starting wage. Grunt work!

Pros

I had a great experience and benefitted from great leadership, progressive growth opportunities, and exceptional colleagues. The company cares about its employees, and offers exceptional benefits.

Cons

The recent news of the merger (ok, let's be honest...acquisition) by Charter has many people worried about the future and preparing for the worst. There will undoubtedly be cultural changes and I know many people will be frustrated by the new norm.

Pros

Learned alot with 20+ years with the company, fun place to work, meet great people, Awesome pay.

Cons

Management will throw you under the bus to save themselves, will not stick up for employees, supervisor yelling at team meetings, slamming things around and acting childish. Best micromanager out there.
