Amen to that. You must remember, Mastec bought out a LOT of the smaller primes over the past 5 years, and in doing so, inherited some of the worthless, lying, cheating bottomfeeders in doing so. Take Protel for instance. I am sure if you work on a project that has their people on it, you would get jerked around. If you are on one that has the old FCW people on it, you'd be golden. Wife's husband is in Baltimore, and doing just fine, so whoever is running that one must have decent management. Vic hit the nail right on the head...research who is managing the project before jumping in.
