Lightspeed Construction Group, LLC

Lightspeed in and of itself is a great company it's parent company has ruined what is there though.
At this location the construction manager has worked hard to make it a very welcoming strong environment. Even though it feels like they are pulling more resources away from him every day.
As an employee at first the amount of people that wish to pass on knowledge and help you succeed was staggering and wonderful.  early on in my promotion I still felt like people work together to meet a single goal. 
Some forms of upper management had difficulties with communicating clear instruction but still strived to have everyone reach the same goals. 
It's parent company currently has been stripping its funding and forcing them to close locations that are considered non-profitable. 
The company is sadly also been prone to change upper management such as the CEO several times this I feel is partial why some locations could not be profitable. Other locations that I have been requested to visit before being laid off seem to have had unusual choices or non-permanent choices for management. This caused a lot of maintenance and other concerns to pop up periodically from misinformation. 
I hope that one day another parent company purchases light speed so that it can start to prosper again. The unusual placements of layoffs with no reason at all for entire departments to disappear to come back a year later under a different name or policy changes with no certain timelines on when they will happen that will affect employees pay have been the most aggravating part of working under this company.

The actual PEOPLE here are great guys who would love to see every tech making a million bucks, but the corporate monster that is Spectrum prevents anything from being good. Pay will be unpredictable and your day-to-day (hour-to-hour!) work environment is totally different between appointments. You might put in hours of work for $20 in your pocket one minute, then pocket $75 for just being on-site and making a phone call the next. It’s very difficult to take it seriously as you will usually act as a delivery boy for Spectrum and sometimes be installing whole-home wiring for most of the day, worst part is you have no idea what you’re going to get until you’re already at the job-site. The only people who should be working here are 20-something’s with few responsibilities outside of paying rent.

They all lie in the interview process to get you onboard, negotiate a fair salary, then in order to do the work expected you have to work 70hrs a week on a salary you negotiated at 40-45hrs a week.  Phone blows up all hours of the day for things that have already been put out in a daily report.  Management threatens termination anytime anything goes off track (its construction things happen...).  QC will burn you alive on projects that are not even close to finished for a proper QC, this created animosity within the group.  Upper management too busy trying to bed the billing clerks and make numbers look good than helping the construction process.  

I applied to this job. Listed $120,000 earning potential. My best two week check ever was $700. Which has no taxes or social security taken out. Contractor position so no health insurance, no help with gas (drove 200+ miles a day). If you get a call 1 minute prior to end of shift, you're required to go. You ding get paid per hour. You get $40 to install internet at a house. Sometimes that takes up to 3 or 4 hours. You have to be at their warehouse at 6am 3 days a week to pick up supplies. They give you a stipend to buy tools, but it's not enough to cover everything. Terrible job. Terrible pay. Won't see your family. You'll get home late every night and leave before they wake up 

Maybe as an entry level to simply get into the cable/fiber world it’s useful, but other than that it would be best to get as far away from this company as possible as soon as possible. 

The money will be good but some jobs don’t seem worth it. If you have plans outside of this field of work  I would recommend pursuing that but if you need money quick then this might be the place for you. there aren’t any benefits and you don’t get paid for time off so there’s that, and you’ll be working more areas that are listed so make sure you have a good reliable vehicle and some money aside for gas. Workdays can be very unpredictable and sometimes slow and when you get paid by job it’s not fun be. Be ready to drive to your warehouse on a weekly basis and there’s also no employee discount.
