Technical Safety Services Reviews

1. Scheduling. Given the nature of technician/repair work, the time it takes to complete a job is completely variable. Jobs are scheduled with the expectation that they'll go right, 100% of the time. So keeping up with your schedule can be stressful, and downright impossible sometimes. Don't plan too many dinner's with family, it's a gamble if you'll make it home in time. 2. Upward mobility. As a technician, there is no linear path of growth. You can gain more expertise in the field in the form of certifications and the like, but pay is pretty standard moving up the ladder. I do recommend working in the field before scheduling b/c having that experience is necessary to being a good scheduler. 3. Pay. Technicians have a lot of responsibility, and are the face of the company. I think the pay should better reflect the level of responsibility the technicians have to deal with everyday. 4. The software. The software technicians have to use is proprietary. It's been maintained by a single guy(or small team?) for so long. I have no doubt that whoever inherits this code base will have to rewrite most of it. Changes are slow to be implemented, and they can be buggy at times. This software is crucial to technicians doing their job well.

Management will fire you without any review or warning. Everyone seems nice to your face but talks behind your back. The NY region is very hectic and the techs have to carry parts around due to the offices poor vicinity to clients. Again, I've never heard of a job that fires people without warning or review well before the training period was to end.
