495 Field Service Technician Reviews

"I love the variety of equipment and that I learn new things every day. Also the variety of people that I meet every day."

"I enjoy the job and learn a lot from each of my new installation and service sites depending on the fault that is being attended to."

"Everything that goes with the title of being a field service technician, but the only thing is compensation and the ability to improve and be rewarded for the improvement."

"I love to meet new customers and love the work I do and ask for me to touch the system. I also love the free time you have on the road to think on the next project at hand. Meeting new managers or owners and making them happy customers."

"The pay was good, but the time away from home made family life suffer."

"Great product to service because there is always something to test or troubleshoot. I wish technical support would be more supportive."

"I love working with technology and finding solutions. No complaints, obviously there are hard days but overall is the best kind of job out there for me. Looking to have that opportunity again."

"I love the flexible hours and the sense of accomplishing things every day, I'm just not an 8-5 office guy and being in the field suited my personality. I also like the feeling of being the hero when you show up and fix a problem. If your employer or supervisor micromanages your field work, I could see the job turning awful quickly. The real downside is taking time off can be very challenging. I used to joke that I hadn't had a real vacation in 7 years."

"I like the freedom of being in the field, and the ability to control my own work schedule."

"What I love about this job is you get to help people with their problem when it comes to cable, phone, and internet. I like going to a job that deals with troubleshooting."

"Being away from home for long periods of time is definitely a turn off but at the same time travel has always been in my blood. Starting out as a truck driver I found that working on the road was the life for me. After the family however I had to adapt and find a more realistic career."

"I love the diversity of products I get to work with and learning each and every one of them. However, these products have many facets of troubleshooting and sometimes I'm unable to handle the issue without involving experts in the products."

"I love that I get to go around and make my customers happy with the job that I have done for them. I love that I get to meet new people and see new places in the process. I love working with technology and setting up networks. They only thing I probably hated, was the fact that if you end up doing more work than you was supposed to, you will not get paid more for that job."

"I love the freedom and unique experiences that go along with traveling from job to job. I enjoy working with many different people. The thing I value the most is learning to improvise and depend on my own skill set to resolve complex situations I encounter in the field with limited access to resources."

"I love the independent and self-motivating nature of field work. I don't really have any complaints about field work."
