Field service managers complaining about long day?
Pros
Pay is as competive as any other 4 day work week typically but then they throw in mandatory overtime cause they can't manage a calendar
Cons
Advancement is only as good as your office and what I mean is quality checks because this is subjective no real standard on the couple individuals doing the checks management only as good as they see it at that moment completions as in the percentage of jobs assigned to jobs actually done no matter why they can not be complete trees or landlords restrictions or even customers rescheduling that's right I'm in the hospital and can't be home effects your promotions bonuses whatever stupid right I field calls all day from other techs how do you do this you ever ran into this most of time the manager himself directs them to me but I get yelled at for being on the phone and if I can answer all these questions and they can't why I am watching other techs advance and I am stuck field managers spend their day on the phone or driving big frigging deal me too except I also have heavy lifting working on ladders and dumb customers wanna trade and by the way if a field manager has a 16 hour day just think of the hard working tech that kept them there for 16 hours work on routing and you get home earlier techs get screwed by Computer software that can't tel the difference between one mile and one hundred miles not to mention If your shift is on Christmas day you are working maybe it will later then your typical start time but who wants their children crying no please don't leave on a special day like that it doesn't speak well for the customer who doesn't care it Christmas but the company has the ability to not offer it I mean really your tv needs to be installed on Christmas or fixed and dish decided ok we can have techs on hand to send out how many of them big wigs do you think were there none thanks joe how was your christmas cheery an bright oh and of there is not enough work which happens at least once a year they send you home without pay no options to work use your vacation if you have it otherwise sorry tell me who dish really cares about cause I am still wondering bottom line if there is another employer willing to pay even just 11 bucks an hour take it over this
