Is this your company?

Not a good career move. You are really just a "temp". - Technician Technical Operations Employee Review

Pros

The paychecks cleared. That is about it.

Cons

They are really just a paymaster for broadcast and AV companies that dont want to put a tech people on staff. So while you are basically paid a staff rate (about 60% of a freelance rate). You are just a glorified freelancer. The benefits package is worthless. It was cheaper (and a better insurance) to COBRA Health Insurance from last job. And the small amount of PTO days dont make up for the rate cut. You have NO job security, you can be let go at moments notice for no cause at all. And while you might think, working thru Tech_Ops, you might get an "in" with a major broadcaster. That will NEVER happen, even if the client wanted to hire you fulltime on staff, the contract they have with Tech-Ops would require them to pay Tech Ops your salary for a year to bring you on staff.

Pros

The team works hard and where I work at is under a union it is very beneficial finical firm that we work for.

Cons

Lack leadership and training. The health benefits are not good under tech-ops compared to union benefits that is provided to the techs. Staffing is a big issue when it comes to who they have hired, mainly lack of experience and competence.
