Pros

Gas Card, company van, tools provided, free-ish service if you live within the market. Not much else to say, but needed 20 words...

Cons

The company doesn't seem to concerned about their employees. It's all about the bottom line. How much money they can make. They purchase cheap equipment and leave it up to the techs to deal with the mess as a result. The pay is not that great for the time and amount of work you get put on you each day. They start out new techs at $15-16 per hour, but techs who have been here for a while make less than that! Not right! They find every possible excuse to cut your yearly raise down to almost nothing. I use to like coming to work every day. I still like the work, just not the company. They have screwed their techs over multiple times, and it shows. You know it's bad when a whole market up and quits. Changing our schedules from a 5 day work week 8 hours a day, to 4 days 10 hours. Leaves no time at the end of the day to go to children's events or spend any kind of quality time with family. In closing, the service they provide is great, but you will feel like a slave working for this company. And they don't care about you!

Pros

The culture established at Metronet really resonates with me. Nearly every employee performs their jobs with an ownership mindset. The leadership team for our division does a remarkable job of establishing vision and setting the tone for the department. It is a very demanding environment, but it is also one that makes celebrating success a part of everyday business.

Cons

The only negatives I have encountered are outside of the company's direct responsibilities and are orientated toward the administrative bureaucracy of the municipalities that we have to coordinate work with,
