Poor company

Aerial and Satellite Engineer (Current Employee) - High Wycombe - 2 October 2022

Dishonest company manger. Do not work for these guys. Very low amount of work and work is very poorly paid. Only a few engineers make all the money, while the rest live on scraps.

Pros

None

Cons

Dishonest

Engineer

Engineer (Former Employee) - Barrhead. - 13 November 2020

Role is self employed engineer. Not proper self employed though just self employed so the company do. It need to pay for pension holidays etc and they can just get rid of you with no notice. They advertise flexible hours which is nonsense basically be prepared to get your jobs the night before and be travelling for four hours to get to your first job. They give no real training and have no qualms in ripping off customers. Staff seemed nice but in reality they are just caring about a quick buck. Not an honest buck. If you want to work weird hours and get the chance to rip off vulnerable people you will fit in brilliantly here.

Cons

Not proper self employed.
