Comcast Contractor (field technician) - Contracted Field Tech bei Rwl Communications: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Flexible schedule, great co-workers, we’ll organized

Office a little far commute from home, but not their fault

None unless you enjoy paying money to work

Where do I begin? 1. No documentation on any of the products, services, or applications used in the process of installation 2. Required to be at work at 7:30, however the scheduling of work does not begin until 8:00. It may be 9:00 before you receive any work and the appointment you receive is for the time between 8-10. How are you supposed to make it to a job by 8 if it gets assigned to you at 9 3. No onsite support. When calling dispatchers they will answer the phone and then immediately hang up causing you to have to call back. They do this because they get paid per call. You are instructed to call your supervisor before calling dispatch but the supervisor could care less about your problem and will not come to assist if necessary. 4. You will arrive at jobs that have x1 equipment on a circuit that has no business having x1. You have to bring the entire job up to specification while only getting paid for the trouble call. If you enjoy figuring out other people's corner cutting by all means knock yourself out. 5. No hazard pay. You get paid the same whether its a mid-span or a temp drop. 6. Quality Control. There is an active effort to defraud you of your earning for anything. 7. No benefits. The part they don't tell you, the healthcare law. The entire reason for your 1099 classification. At tax time you will have to pay a fine of 500 dollars or 2.5 percent of your annual income if you cannot afford health insurance. This applies to sub-contractors as well. 2.5 percent of your annual income on average will be in the thousands of dollars. Don't forget uncle sam.
