USIC job reviews

  • Best thing

    Company truck. Insurance.

    Worst thing

    Mandatory Saturdays when you get told in interview there optional. Cameras in trucks go off over the littlest things. Force you to do stretches on video call every single day. Move you around left and right without asking how you feel about it. The system used to close tickets is extremely slow and laggy and stressful.
