Network Cabling Services - NCS

Super excited to start working with NCS, the systems they have to keep track of time, attendance, and assets are good enough to keep everyone honest. The projects are sometimes "boring" but sometimes complex enough to keep you exercising the brain. For those not afraid to work overtime, there was some, but not too much to keep you from your living your personal life. The company vehicles are in good shape, and fairly new. The people behind the scenes acting as support for the techs in the field was great and eager to help you off to the field, very much appreciated.
Somewhere along the way, upper management decided that the best way to improve productivity, cut costs and promote accountability was to micromanage everybody on the field and as I later learned micromanage project managers; those who need to be supervised the least, got the full toxic punch from operations; lots of finger-pointing, condescending attitudes and looking for excuses to made themselves look good.
Instead, a short toolbox-talk, a few suggestions to keep us out of trouble would've brought us up closer to the company goals. 
Absolutely, some people needed firing, unfortunately, some of the talent and great potential to the growth of the company were turned off by the toxic ways and left.
Would I give it another chance, maybe in a couple of years after they have tuned in their operations.

Most days started at the shop picking up paperwork and martial for the next job at hand. I learned a lot in the time I was Employed, how to do light programing, set up for better installations, and the heavier side of the A/V field. Management was at most "OK" at times, but it was just something that had to be worked around. My co-workers were all great, different attitudes and backgrounds were sometimes a challenge, but at the end of the day, the job was done and it was done well. hardest part of the job was trying to get an issue resolved without all the right equipment in place or ordered. the most enjoyable part of the job had to be when a job was done, going back and looking at how the job was transformed and knowing that you were involved in its transformation.

I just left the company, gave them two weeks notice because it’s almost impossible for an install tech to get 40 hours. When I left it was in good terms because of the way I handle things, but the people in the office are spiteful, I had a book checked out and since they didn’t have anything on the schedual for me I wasn’t able to return it to work to give them the book back, they charged me for the book, and I told them I’d be there on Friday to return it, they ignored my message, as usual, just to spite me for leaving. If you can afford to only work 20-30 hrs a week for a company who only see you as an opportunity to make bonuses on your work if you finish in a timely manner then This is the perfect company for you. Find a company that values you . This company needs a lot of work in their admin department. They’re too emotionally involved. 

Currently looking for other opportunities. Over the summer you work your butt off with loads of hours because its busy. After the summer you’ll be lucky to get 40 hours. You have to clock in/out through an app on your phone that takes your picture and GPS location. Insurance is very expensive. They micromanage you to the fullest. Especially the new operations manager that thinks he’s GOD all mighty. They basically treat their employees, if your a Technician, like scum that will never equal to upper management. To add, they pay $20 for per diem which is less than the government mandated minimum. There are many other companies that are much better and more organized that truly value the employees and appreciate them. This is definitely not one of them.

They use the best materials tools and trucks but they pay garbage and thus get people who have no clue what they are doing and get trained then realize they can make more elsewhere and leave so if your in a leadership roll turnover is a monthly thing management is ok at most offices but can be lacking upper management don’t want anything to do with the Tecs it’s a small company atmosphere ran like a multi billion dollar company in a bad way. They were nice to work for but pay is horrid gave you all the tools and supplies you could need.

What is the best part of working at the company?
They do supply transportation, gas card,health insurance, etc. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
You are,I think,asked to go above and beyond for the compensation you received.  Hourly rate that is. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Depending on the mood of management. It could be a good day, it could not. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
As long as I was left alone to do my job, I was happy.

Don't expect that you will be doing what you are hired on for. I was hired on as a Lead Video & Data Technician with main duties at splicing fiber. For the 6 months I was with the company, I never touched a fiber cable and was pretty much treated as an installer pulling hundreds of thousands of feet of CAT6 cable for the DCCCD project. Onsite Project Manager, will talk down to you all the time, while he does absolutely nothing but play on his phone all day. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Theirs no work. They will keep you on board for months without work with alot of empty promises. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No work. You may wrk one day a week if your lucky.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful..They have people in high role positions that have no clue about the work in that department. Clueless!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Hope to work a full 8 hours. Doesn't happen to often.

I hired on at NCS as a lead technician and was offered the opportunity to grow. By asking the right questions and through educational and training courses provided to me by NCS, I was able to learn quickly and move up in the company to better my career. NCS not only encourages growth but creates a meaningful and lasting career for all employees. With NCS’s continued vision of working together as a team, caring for their employees and families, diversity and the mindset of providing excellent care to all customers – I knew I was home.

The work is challenging and enjoyable. However the best part of this company are the people. The management listens and supports the employees, and the coworkers are friendly and fun. Employee feedback is appreciated and management is engaged in collaboration with employees to help the day to day course of business run smoothly. Each year there are numerous intracompany functions to build comradery between coworkers and encourage workplace team building.
