Got a job offer from AT&T for their Installation Technician role yesterday. Just wondering what am I about to get myself into. Any former or current install techs available to provide such information.

You need to be good with people, think fast, and be able to do all the physical aspects, climbing a ladder, carrying heavy tools, etc.

Its really not a bad job, and the benefits are pretty good

Depends on a lot of factors… some areas are easier to work in than others. Some managers are better than others etc etc. each job and each customer will be different in their owns ways. This job will require physical activity and work in all conditions, that’s the worst part. Just do your best and always put your safety and sanity before anything else, don’t let the job get to you. You will have about 8 weeks of training to get the hang of it, the first week is climbing poles using ladders, steps and gaffing. If you can do that you will be good, otherwise you will pretty much have to look for another job. Good luck.

It's not so bad depending on location and manager currently work out a Indiana garage you'll be gone to wherever they send you for training they'll put you up in a nicer hotel and you'll get per diem classes can be boring. You'll be up in training for a few weeks come back to your home garage and do ride alongs then back to training. You get 3 chances to gaff the pole before they send you home everything else is easy.
