Having worked at two of the subcontractors:

The management does not communicate. 
Metrics are constantly fiddled with so you cannot get a bonus. 
You will work excessively for too-little pay. Very few people have actually broken production. Staff feels that we have been lied to about the earning potential and several employees have had personal lives damaged due to low pay. 
Prepare to work through heat sickness and illness. They do not care about you but give lip service. People can and will talk smack behind you. You may have issues with getting materials as the main companies are cheap. 

Education is subpar by far compared to Spectrum/ATT. If you want to work in telecommunications then go for one of the big players. You’re still just a number, here or there. 

I do not trust positive reviews. At all. I do not know a soul satisfied with this company that has worked in the field in the past decade. 

You aren't allowed to clock in before 8AM even when you have a 7AM meeting. You're also expected to be at your first customers doorstep at 8AM. So you are forced to go to the warehouse off the clock. You'll work your tail off skipping tiny steps from 8AM to Noon and still probably be late to a job. Then you'll sit in your truck in a parking lot for 5 hours waiting on your next job.

They lie through their teeth to get you in the door. They make empty promises. They steal your last check. They constantly threaten to fire you if you don't up sell. They remind you that your customer is the MSO (WOW) and to do as they say, then tell you to do it different. They tell you to book extra jobs to bill for line replacements, when WOW tells you not to. It's all about money. Not yours, theirs. The company is run by two "god fearing men" and in their own words, "you can trust us to not screw you over"

That's a lie.

I strongly recommend avoiding any position here. The company doesn’t care about its employees — you’re just a number to them. They’ll make big promises during the interview, but none of it materializes once you’re hired. Management is out of touch, and there’s no real path for advancement. They’ll tell you there’s growth potential, but don’t believe it — promotions are rare, if ever.

They’ll hire just about anyone, including people with criminal records, which speaks volumes about their priorities. The pay has been stagnant for years, and despite promises of raises, they never follow through. On top of that, you’ll find yourself chasing down missing pay, only to be given the runaround. Don’t expect the sign-on bonus either — they’ll find an excuse not to pay it out after 60 days.

In short, this company is a joke. Look elsewhere if you value your time and career.

As a Tech, I was provided with everything I needed to be successful in the cable industry;  Training, Company Vehicle, Tools and Cell phone.  My daily route was provided via cell and my vehicle went home with me at the end of the day.   You are a phone call away from management if needed, regardless of the time.  As a tech we had to attend one (1) tech meeting/gear pickup at week and that was pretty fun time.  You were always able to socialize with your fellow techs.  I always found this time to be useful and educational.  I found Next solution to be a very laid back company.  Just do your JOB.  Like all company's, that's all they ask from you.  There were challenges, mainly, the weather.  However, having to deal with weather is part of the industry.  If you don't like working outside, don' t get into the cable industry.  

The work in general was a cake walk and not hard at all. Very easy to obtain knowledge as long as you just focus. I was told they would get ahold of me for more work when it picks up..... that never happened, texted the employer about w2s. No response at all. On another note. It's very clicky. If you don't act like or just be a follower you are disliked,honestly could care less cause your opinion doesn't pay my bills but atleast have the integrity to be honest with a man. "Bugaboo" is just childish. I don't recommend working here. It's all broken promises and if you don't act clicky they'll ghost you and say "we will get ahold of you when work picks up" job security isn't there at all. It was cool at first but like 85% of smaller company's. They'll lie to your face in the interview just so they can have a body.

Supervisors never answer phone, force you to drive outside designated work area for equipment, hope your ready to add up you checks because they sure can’t and double check them, unprofessional. Deon Fowler & Landen Burgess. Very lazy & unprofessional supervisors. Leadership is very questionable make bare minimum efforts to assist you in time of need. They would rather make you install RMA (bad boxes) versus giving you good equipment to use. Then when those same bad boxes fail they look at you crazy as if it is your fault that you installed the bad equipment they told you to do. They are much better companies out there to work for that will not jerk you around with your pay and work. Again this company is extremely unprofessional and I do not recommend they to anybody!

Next Solutions offers a great work experience,  from the managers to other team members, everyone is helpful making you feel at home to perform your duties.  You are home nightly and on the road work is offered on occasion but not required, giving your total income a increase.  Pay is great and you have direct deposit weekly.  I have never worked for a company that paid weekly, this is a great life planning perk.  The owner of the company is present on all zoom calls and is directly engaged in his company,  as we all know that is rare in todays times.  The whole next solution force has a uplifting positive attitude towards growth and improvement.  If you want a career with growth for the hard work you put in, this is it!!

What is the best part of working at the company?
Good crew, good co workers We ended up training other new employees because management would not.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Company lies to all employees daily. There motto was, "It's a cut-throat business."

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Chaotic. Terrible management. Company well loose contracts and fire employees without notice or flat out lie about the it. More importantly, This company will make you work overtime and not pay you for your work.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Being asked to help other employee to help each other, then weeks later being told you are not supposed to help other employees because you need to focus on your own work.

I was here for about six months before I realized management lied to me when I got hired saying I would make at least 800 a week. I found out that most of the texts were only there for about a month and was only bringing home about 500 or less a week. The manager that interviewed me said that I would have a van ready. In fact he even showed me the van that I would be driving. I have previous experience. They put me with somebody that only had a month of experience and did not know what they were doing. So another words I was training their tech for $10 an hour. When I told the supervisor I did not want to train his employees for $10 an hour he told me to not come back in. I was fine with not coming back in because I do not train employees for $10 an hour.

I’ve enjoyed my time at next solutions as a technician. Parts I enjoy about the job are that you are given a route and once you get your work done you get to go home so once you get some experience most days I’m off earlier than if I worked a regular job, and you don’t have someone watching your every movement as there is a lot of freedom working by yourself. Also everyday is something new when you are working in peoples houses, no 2 work orders are exactly the same so keeps things from being repetitive like in a factory. And management here is pretty laid back as well making the job more enjoyable, and the company vehicle with a gas card is a big plus too
