Satellite Shelters

A typical day at work: I visited construction job sites, as well as designed modular classrooms. Most of my day was spent making cold-calls in sales and rentals of mobile construction offices to our customers. 

I learned more about sales, and how to sell product as well as upsell additional products. I also learned quite a bit about construction sites, and what goes on with construction contractors. 

We had two other additional co-workers. They were drivers so I had little interaction with them. 

The most difficult part of that job was trying to sell the product vs. renting the product. 

The most enjoyable part of the job was visiting the construction sites and designing the modular classrooms.

In general, work life is decent at this facility. It is definitely a clock in/do your job/clock out sort of environment—that unless you are someone “worth” talking to and getting to know, nobody higher up will know about you. In that regard, it feels very much like a cog in the machine kind of workplace. Benefits are good, medical/dental/vision are all affordable and well covered. PTO policy was way better once updated and is encouraged to be taken. If you can get in and make a few friends, the work isn’t terrible or too draining to do. Weigh the pros and cons for yourself.

The pay was fine enough and even the hours were decent when there wasn't mandatory overtime every week. However, the pace of work, even for a young and fairly competent person such as myself was unsustainable. As I left I was told of veteran tradesmen getting hired on and leaving within the week because the work was just too tough at the rate which we were doing it. Management are nice people but, as nicely as I can say it, do not represent the employees at all. Time is money and your time is forfeit if numbers aren't being met.

tl;dr company could be worse, quitting is frequent, burn out is inevitable

I really liked working at satellite we had a rocky start because they had a mask mandate and I walked in and took over my cabinet shop job with professionalism they've never seen before so when I refused to wear a mask explaining I've had the virus and had sufficient antibodies to protect anyone around me and they walked away. Unfortunately working in Bristol is nerve racking.  Way too much traffic and too much road construction.  Toll road and bypass was horrible commute.  45 minute drive for me. Loved that job thou.

I would not recommend this company to anyone! They etalk down about employees and customers as soon as they leave the building.  The prior manager to this one was an adult “mean girl”! Her and assistant lacked any kind of tack! I have witnessed them talk down about corporate people and current location employees, but will turn around and smile in their face! They pretend to like you but as soon as you leave the room....and when the really start to dislike they make up lies and call corporate down on you! STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!

Depending on your level of expertise, this could be a great job or less than mediocre. It is a fast paced environment and there are high expectations that I would have liked to be warned about before accepting the job. If you have the background to do this job, then I think this would be a great fit for you as that helps reduce the stress by 75%. The medical benefits are great and I would recommend discussing them with HR before accepting anything. 

I enjoy my job and the environment. Getting to know the different positions and the people that work here is nice. I learn something new everyday. Smiles on the workers faces everyday. 

This place is absolutely trash when it comes to growth they won’t promote within the company they rather hire someone from outside. They won’t train you to expectations so you don’t learn much about repair side but you sure do a lot of housekeeping on trailers while their contractors get all the workload. Don’t work here unless you are ok staying in one position 

Satellite has been a tremendous company to work for.  Support from management and co-workers has me highly motivated to be the best in my profession.  There are always plenty of opportunities to learn and several people just as passionate and willing to continually do the right thing to help Satellite become even more successful.  Well done!

When working for a company that will not advance the systems to allow the proper work to be done, you will be held responsible for all wrong doing and you will not be listened to when trying to rectify situation.  As far as management is concerned, you can be replaced.   Bonuses are not given out in certain departments and raises are never considered.
