So if you live in or around Elgin then stay clear of them. Jonathan Heath Hopkin is the owner of this company, so if you happen to see his ad in craigslist or wherever, then jus make sure to run the other way. I also am a sub contractor.I have been doing Directv since they have been around and things now are pretty bad with chargbacks and things you can not live up to but its always to thier advantage.All of the above except the "HA" comment is truth.One thing is certain, if I were ever to win a major lotto, I would take action against those that need a good kick in the wallet.Never work for a company that has "now hiring"painted on their vehicles.There is a reason for that and its not a good one. I've been dealing with 9 years of Mastec drama, and I've had enough.
Next, we are required to take a 30 minute lunchbreak on the day as well. So, there goes another 3 hours per week. What's more...in several of the tech meetings we were instructed to tell the customers whatever it takes to get the phone-lines hooked up.
Citing potential violations of state labor laws and the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the case claims MasTec assigned the plaintiff and roughly 100 other technicians installation and repair jobs to be compensated at a per-job piece rate. This browser does not support PDFs.
The truth of the issue...Direct TV receivers work ust fine without a phone-line connected to them. Two of those categories are sin7 (service calls within 7 days), and responders (phone-lines). This is happening to me also right now. I have been with the company for 6 years. From the lawsuit: The suit goes on to allege that while MasTec purports to offer technicians “enhanced piecework rates” for certain categories of work, the company has never paid the plaintiff at any such rates. If you guy are serious about this please follow through with what you are saying. I was told by a John at Directv customer service that the company that does the installation in my region is MASTEC. Now, in order to figure out which cable goes to which unit, they all have to be "re-toned", which is extra time and money.
The only thing I like is I get off when Im finished.I get back charged for phones(when cells are only available), their faulty equipment, customer's calling DTV and DTV not routing the service call back to me, but yet they charge me $60.oo for somthing I may have only been paid $35 for. Legal action is in progress, and reports have been filed with the Federal Trade Commission, The BBB and other Government agencies. Mar 1, 2012 EMPLOYEE NOT BEING PAID. Mastec and DirecTV "fired" all and any advanced or senior techs to save money, typically, any way they could. Also funny how MasTec takes the brunt of the blame... ha! If you intended to to call the BBB and did not you just may have F*ed your fellow man. Burkesville, Kentucky Courthouse - Civil suit letter is hoax. DO NOT SIGN THIS FORM IF THE INFORMATION ON YOUR DAILY TIME RECORD IS NOT COMPLETE AND ACCURATE. Thomas Kinkade musical christmas tree ornament.
I do not uderstand how they can continue TO TAKE ADVANTAGE of us!!! refusing to pay out final invoices and numerous other deceptive actions. First off to date their is NO complaints on file with the BBB and has not been in the last 36 months they have a score of a B with them.
I been waiting to get an upgrade from Directv for the last 3 months with no luck. And it was only around $80! Read the latest user reviews about MASTEC in United States, New Mexico.
Even though we are piece work, we still get paid overtime for working over 40 hours.
The very rude tech who just left didn't realize that he was not only talking to the property manager at this high end property, but also the Owner of the management company. (Much Better)Maybe its time for me to move on. They tell us that we get paid piece work, so we are not able to claim our hours for driving to, and from, the first and last job of the day even if it is 2 hours away. Ha! A lot of the dates that they said he did the service on were way past his 90 day period where he would be responsible for those clients, so they really had no business messing with his money.
I would hate to be the guy who has to retone all the lines. Share Report Copy. I have seen and worked for some really bad companies over the years but this outfit takes a cake. There need to be options. I have seen and worked for some really bad companies over the years but this outfit takes a cake.
These practices include charging companies full retail value for equipment that was installed and activated in customers homes, deducting money from pay with no back up or documentation to support legitimacy, providing forged documents in an attempt to collect money from contractors for equipment not received by contractor. According to the lawsuit, technicians often worked up to six days per week, totaling 60 hours per week, without proper overtime wages. This company sucks and the trainer is sucks I trained for 1 week the next week they want us to take a test … and that is an understatement!

Couple the $30.00 charge back for phones with 2 service call charge-backs for thier junk recievers, and $70.00 out of one check is a large chunk of money, especially considering I have to pay for drop materials out of that check as well.
At the end of every week, we have to turn in a timecard saying when we started and finished for the day. tHE ONLY CONCERN WITH MASTEC THAT I HAVE IS HOW CAN THEY HIRE SUB CONTRACT COMPANIES THAT ARE THIEFS AND DON'T PAY THEIR TECHS WHAT THEY OWE THEM?TECHS ARE SUB CONTRACTORS AND THEIR CHECK SHOULD BE FOR WHAT THE TURN IN NOT FOR 3/4THS LESS THAN WHAT THEY TURN IN (THIS IS A RIP OFF COMPANY LOCATED NEAR ASHEVILLE (30 MINUTES AWAY). Something seriously needs to be done about this! MASTEC Complaints & Reviews. Of course, everyday the drive time is not like this, but if you figure out how many hours per week your getting screwed out of, it doesn't make you very happy.
They charge you back for phone lines your not even able to install, only have cell phone or DO NOT want it connected to their phone line! Corrado Rizzi is the Managing Editor and a writer for ClassAction.org. By clicking Submit you are agreeing to the Complaints Board’s Terms and Conditions.

Nothing like being yelled at by an entire building again. Directv keep apologizing and rescheduled. According to the suit, this resulted in the entirety of wages for some jobs being deducted from technicians’ pay for seemingly arbitrary reasons.
farklepop . BE AWARE DONT FALL FOR THIS COMPANY (S&C)ABBREVIATED. I have been charged back for service calls where the problem resided in the piece of junk refurbished recievers that Direct TV places into the field at new prices. I can't even imagine how much money they have screwed me out of up to this point. I was sent a parcel from england and i have been called by the agents and they... You're in big trouble with Legacy. Because for EVERY phone-line the owners of this company receives $5.00 from Direct TV. The suit blames this alleged infraction on MasTec’s policy of deducting “rollback” fees and other penalties from technicians’ wages.
The owners of this company can take thier Aspen ski vacations while the ones making them all this money are being screwed, kept in abject poverty, and taken advantage of at every turn. Purchased an 'original' 1940s Greetings Card from a seller on Etsy... AT&T / Direc TV Bundle My Services - overcharged, Direct TV - very poor service and unacceptable contract, Direct TV - someone elso opened an account with my last name and address, Direct TV - failure to get proper credits on my bill, Bank of The Philippine Islands [BPI] - Finance charges, fraud, not much assistance, Doris A Campagna and Richard D Lauersdorf - Harasser, mocker, theft, forgery, impersonation, took communcation away from me. DirecTV and Mastec have used deceptive business practices to gain an unfair business advantage against the very workers providing installation services.
it is completely WRONG!!! So, everyday, I put a lunch from 12-12:30 even though there is not enough time in the day to take a lunch break. They put all these rules in place and the buck just keeps getting passed down the chain and the people at the bottom get to pay for it all. To reach lead tech you have to get 3 out of 4 of the categories within thier determined percentages.
The 3 months that I've waiting for an upgrade this company MASTEC has called Directv and advice them that in June, I called and cancel in August they said they cancel because they didn't have the equipment and they spoke to me and today the 3rd time MASTEC claims to have spoken to me and canceled because they didn't have the equipment. MasTec, DirecTV wait on D.C. I am a veteran of 30 years in the satellite industry. Second the phone line is not for trhe box to work properly its to monitor what that boxes is doing making sure there are no retired programer out their making money on the side giving people free stuff. Currently, I work as a subcontractor for a company located near Piedmont holding a contract through Mastec to install and service Direct TV.
It would make me sick. Etsy - Order#1686155830, dragonfly mask by katiebethkorner, very poor service and unacceptable contract.
Yeah right! Started end of Nov. didn't get paid until AFTER XMAS!!!
