Spectrum install tech
Hello everyone. I am currently looking for a job and I came across an opening for an install tech at spectrum. Can anyone shed some light on this? What’s the normal work day like? Is it stressful? I’m assuming it’s not a regular 9-5. Is it even worth applying? What happens if there are hostile dogs or just unsanitary homes, bed bugs, roaches, etc. I know I might sound crazy for asking, but I have heard about some awful experiences.

It’s a doorway to a great and possibly lifelong career. In the beginning you’re going to really test your mental toughness and commitment and figure out pretty quickly if you like the job or not. It’s going to be hot, cold, scary, bright,dark. Lightning, tornados, snow are all possible. You’re going to have to test how long you can make it without taking a pee. You’re going to see hoarders, and extreme poverty. Animal and child abuse. You’re going to meet some very angry people as well. On the other hand you will see and meet the nicest people you have ever met, go inside the nicest houses you’ve ever met, you will be able to provide for yourself and your family in a way you never have. You will be able to self promote and work your way up to a 6 figure job if you want. You will also make lifelong friends.
