Mustang Cat

Mustang Cat might be a fantastic opportunity for some but for most you will just become a "worker ant" with no potential for growth. The owner seem to be very down to earth people and care for the technicians however when it comes down to the management the ball falls extremely short as they tend to only fend for themselves. The most Unfortunate part of management is the lack of experience as Mustang requires the minimum 4 year degree to be apart of management and almost every manager is a young grade who hasn't a clue on what it takes to lead. The Management (especially upper management) preach about the importance of safety, however when you bring up a substantial safety issue they brush it under the rug and place company profit and revenues over technician safety. Also many times it feels as if there is something shady going on and the customer is not getting treated honestly. For example I have seen the service sales men ignore much needed repairs in fear of loosing the entire job due to the cost becoming to high. I know this is true because the machine will come back under a "warranty repair" and the technician who originally worked on the machine then gets in trouble for "not repairing/noticing much needed repairs". As far as the fellow technicians go it seems to bee different "clicks" and it creates tension throughout the shop. I feel like this Company (at least the 290 location) could once again be great to work at and for but it will take a large change and shift in employment starting with management and management requirements. I Understand this is a mostly negative review of my own opinion of this company but this is what I have formed over my time working hear. But if I can save one optimistic technician from falling into the honey pot they set out before you then I've done my part. Also please note I was told word for word by the manager who hired me that its too easy to get people in for less than they are worth because they need the job and will take whatever they can. to me this is just wrong as I stated my request and they gave me their offer and as it was better than the other options I had at the time as well as knowing I had to provide for my family I took the offer. I understand its a business and they have to make money i also understand that I accepted the offer. It just does not sit well knowing the management knows their technicians are worth more money and do not do anything about it. Makes since why so many Technicians leave Mustang and end up at Doggett.

I'm a former employee of the non union shop in Houston. I was so disappointed with the way that shop was managed. They watch u with a very close eye. Even other employees watch u and report to the supervisor your every move. If they dont like u they may very well fabricate stories to management aboutu. Management will use that information to have u removed. This suppose to be grown men working together but if u not likable they will find a way to get rid of u. If they feel u know more or get paid more. They will find a way to get rid of u. I had the manager tell me he heard I wasnt working. But the supervisor corrected him and said that he indeed seen me working. That's the way this shop is so messed up. They rely on  what other employees tell them which can be false but that's the way it is there. The way that they assign work is confusing and dangerous. They prefer u to work alone on  extremely heavy equipment it should be I  pairs for safety reasons. If something falls on unor u fall off of it and injure yourself. If u cant call out for help nobody will know and u can actually lose your life cause u working alone on such heavy equipment. I hope they change that soon. But management dont seem to care. I mentioned the to one of my coworkers he said they dont care about that but I noticed they stress safety often. If it wasnt for guys going around telling stories on people they dont like and management allowing this to happen I would have still been there. No business should be ran based on what other employees say about u. Like i say if that employee dont like u for whatever reason. He can go to the supervisor with stories about u and he wont say to much yo u at first until he get more complaints but by that time u cant defend yourself it's to much. At that point u should start looking for another job or get with HR to get transferred if possible.

a typical day at work,
show up and do your job; for the most part as long as you do that, management leaves you alone.  
what you believe you learned,
alot of the technical aspects of working. 
management,
seems to favor the other employees that they have built a relationship with.
workplace culture,
good for the most part; if we ever get OT back it would be so much better. 
the hardest part of the job,
not being able to work overtime and having to be silent when you see others getting treated like they are gods and allowed to work all the overtime they want to.
the most enjoyable part of the job
is when training is allowed and when we all got to work overtime.

Roll up your sleeves and get to work because Mustang’s customer base works as hard as any that can be found. Construction, Dirtwork, RoadWork, Commercial and Residential Projects.

Working with such talented and experienced individuals who was team members in power and tractor

Experiencing some unusual emotions from individuals who desire so much attention about too many sick subjects that didn’t pertain to their compassionate consideration for times of support 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Pleasant especially how customers responded and appreciated your take and skills on your performance to see how dedicated and professional treatment of their products 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It was a job that made you feel like you were a part of something special enjoyable to serve with decency and respect you for your efforts of giving them your best

I worked at Mustang for just over 2 years it was a great place to learn new skills with decent raises for the first 2 years(the first 2 years are under a review program with a review and 4%-6% raise every 6 months) you will quickly find most of the people in the shop have been there less than 5 years and management rotates out about the same so the shop is filled with inexperienced technicians who can be paid less and is managed by inexperienced managers who bark unmeetable deadlines with no appreciation. This is an hourly shop that expects flat rate speed and overtime is “optional”. Expectations are high and pay isn’t good enough for the stress level. It’s a good place to learn but don’t expect to stay forever without being a suck up

I speak from my employment time at this branch. The management is good. There always room for improvement but I have no problem with the leadership here. The work space is great, the employees are great and friendly and like to have fun and  joke around to keep the mood light. There are always to learn something new each and every day. You have to put into it equivalent to what you want to get out of it. In my opinion the benefits are great as well. I have taken full advantage of the benefits and advise anyone else to do the same. Overall, my experience has been great. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Pay is decent. The hours are decent.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The management did not meet my requirements and had poor choices in handling certain issues making it difficult on other employees. The company as a whole is great. But you have to have lower management fulfill the demands and requirements professionally and keep favorites out of the work place to flow efficiently. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I have great work ethics which were not noticed. They care about no one. And will throw you under the bus if things go wrong.


What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful. That is all I am gonna say about that.

My typical day at work is all about going out to customers site, giving support to troubleshoot and maintenance of their equipment. 

Well I learned little in aspects area of load banking and commissioning of a generator. 

Very bad supervisor and management full of sentiment with high rate of I don't care attitude towards their employees. 
Absolutely bad culture that can not be reconed with. 

Though the job itself seems to be flexible at some time don't do nothing thought-out the day.
Nothing to enjoy as you are only employed to make money for the company without being fair to you as an employee. 

Zero tolerances for little or non mistakes as you will definitely be fire for it with out notice. 

Mustang cat is an ok job. Nothing especial. Hourly job with a small commission. Lots of unorganized paperwork and barely any communication between inside and outside sales reps. Offices are always dirty and you can’t get benefits until 30 days in. Got no hat or shirts while working there. They pay a 3rd party company to monitor and record your calls. They also call in and use fake customers to make sure your doing what they want. Nepotism is everywhere in this company. Everyone is someone ones college buddy who were in the same fraternity. Workload is huge and the phones never stop ringing. Extremely stressful environment and on call 24/7 too.
