What is the best part of working at the company?
If there was a family emergency they will let you take care of that first.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The people that works over you. Being micromanaged, blame you for things that was not in your job duties. Managers telling other they taught me properly, but in reality they only taught me once and expected me to get it correctly the first time. Wanting things done right away, expecting you to drop what you are doing and get it done. Get 15 hours of work done in 7, the list goes on. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful, lack of communication, when you need the manager for something they were hardly available. Have a meeting to schedule a meeting.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Pray I have enough caffeine in my system to get anything done.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Traveling and getting the hands on experience with different trades. 
Being able to participate in different projects

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Having to work over night sometimes and forgetting materials. 
Having to wait for places to open to get materials and not being able to release store to managers 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
We all work together like family. 
Can be stressful at times. But usually there's someone backing us at the office to get projects complete. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Depending on the project. Work over night. During the day picking up materials. Get some sleep then right back to work. 
There's a lot of traveling to different states. So can be slot of driving a day.

If you've taken the time to read the reviews then read this one - this is a TERRIBLE place to work.  The management team has NO concern about their employees.  You have to work there for 3 years to get a second week of vacation.  There are no facilities to eat lunch (other than your desk).  You have to fight for a parking spot every day (and if you're handicapped, forget using the handicap space because the owner will take it when he's in the office).  Upper management family members will resort to screaming/cursing fights in the main lobby.  Other management members have been know to gossip about employees' health conditions to their subordinates.  Seriously - whatever might be attracting you to work here, don't do it.  It's a completely toxic work environment.

Would no suggest being a service tech for this company especially in the Dallas office if you can get on any other position I’m sure would be a good thing I tried to transfer but was talked into staying in Dallas with promising things would get better well they did not and I just got fired because I complained about not getting paid properly there is very much a lack of management in this office and any questions asked if they get answered they are answered with what the managers think you want to hear not the truth and when they say there is a open door policy there is an open door for the Bo to kick you out of sorry but I did what I was trained to do and the company is not paying me correctly so my advice do not try to get on as a service tech 

I’ve been with Ameritech for 6 years and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Things have changed for the better and Management is always looking at ways to make life easier for the techs. Pay increases with skill are normal, and traveling brings so many adventures. I’ve seen all of the United States and I’ve moved up in the company to where it truly feels like a family. If you’re looking for a career, benefits, per Diem, 401k etc. this is the place to be. Your level of skill may deter you from applying but honestly there’s nothing we can’t teach you and everyone picks up quick. There’s always something for someone to do no matter their experience. 

Typical includes receiving and checking loads a,d letting the appropriate department know of its arrival so they can plan installation.
I've learned a lot about the small details of construction that i never knew before such as when to use certain tools and equipment.
Management is low pressure as long as thing run smoothly. But plans do change all the time and I compensate.
Hardest part of the job is trying work in the rain when we're really busy. 
Most enjoyable part of the job is the friendly people and that i can go to management with an issue and it always gets fixed.

Great people to work with but mgmt makes doing your job difficult by not providing the right kind of resources or leadership to get things done. They use chaotic systems that don’t communicate with each other so there’s a lot of unnecessary manual info being keyed in with lots of room for error and is extremely time consuming. Competing deadlines and impossible workloads make for a job that is unfortunately VERY unfulfilling. When we conveyed our issues and concerns to mgmt my group was told by our leadership to keep our butts in our seat and get our jobs done. That was their answer!  Really sad and unnecessary.

From my experience, everyone strives to work as a team no matter what department or level you work at.  There is always someone ready to help you succeed.  The company is outspoken about their mission, values, and vision.  They strive to create customers out of customers by doing whatever it takes to get the job done right.  Ameritech treats their employees and customers like family.  If your not driven, good at working with others, and willing to put in a full day of work then Ameritech is not the place for you.

They started off the year rough and then started hounding in on policies WAY later in the year because of their inability to review budgets and revenues on active projects. So then, it turns into everyone’s problem to try to make money because they didn’t control the expenses and overbudgeting that others caused. Don’t even know how those people even still have a job. So for them to make necessary cuts, they just lay people off. It’s super unstable and unprofessional. Good luck to you if you get hired here, just hope that your job stays relevant to them.
