Baker Installations Reviews

The three months I spent at Baker felt more like three years. In that short span of time two people quit and two were fired, so turnover is high and understandably so. Management is dishonest, incompetent and self serving. Expect to work between 60-75 hrs a week, so forget any kind of social life. Training is inadequate and the jobs you are given Time Warner in house doesn't want because there in low income and public housing areas. Pay is hourly with a chance to bonus if you complete a certain number of weekly units and meet Bakers BS metrics. In other words, don't expect to bonus out for your first few months or even longer. You will be charged for any lost or stolen equipment so be careful. One misplaced cable box can cost $500 or more and Baker will take every penny out of your paycheck, even though all equipment is insured. As for equipment, the boxes are never programmed at the shop so a lot of time is wasted on job sites waiting for modems and cable boxes to download software, making your day longer. There are no paid holidays and benefits are mediocre. Take this job if you are in desperate of a paycheck but get out once you find a better job, which should be easy, like I did.
