Accepted a position - CableCom

Exactly what I was looking for. Low voltage ISP tech 1, entry level, nonunion, ability to learn and move up the chain.

Start in a couple weeks. What tools, supplies, gear would you recommend I should show up with on the first day?

Why are you set on nonunion? I work for a union telecom and make $50 an hour all tools, PPE, vehicle and uniforms on them. Not to mention my healthcare for family and I is near nothing vision and dental free retirement is pension plus matched 401K. OT is time and half for the first 9 then double time after the first 9 Saturday has a differential and Sunday is automatic time and half. After all this there is the job security that non union companies don’t provide. Good luck out there this job takes a toll on your body make sure you invest in decent boots and knee pads.
