After more than five years of honest service to the company, it is cutting our pay for more than 28%. - Cable Technician Intek Communications Employee Review

There are so many cons, it is almost impossible to list them. Please don't work at this job to experience them first hand. 1. Horrible hours, 2 shifts: 8-6:30 & 9:30-8. 365 days, you work 4 days on, 2days off, never ending. 2. Bad supervisors. The supervisors couldn't care less about the tech. Most of them are lazy, and do nothing but yelling at you when issue surfaced. 3. Rogers dispatch is just as horrible. Your calls will get moved and deleted. Dispatch will drop bad calls on you and take away good money calls to give to techs they know. 4. You get a company truck, but you pay a daily minimum of $5 for gas. Your truck is monitored by GPS. 5. You have to pay for your own benefit. 6. Winter is hell. 7. When there are calls, you make money because it is piece work. But when there are no calls, you were not allowed to go home, but wait at Tim Horton's for the whole day. Personal worst day: $30-$5 gas. $25 for a 10 hours day. And it is not rare to have one once a month. 8. You got sent all over the place to work. Your fixed location is a joke. If you are a Toronto tech, don't be surprised to work in Barrie for the whole winter. There are guys in the company that are forced to drive over 100KM one way every day to work.
