Fiber Optic to the Home/Business Design Engineer - Anonymous employee Engineering Associates Employee Review

Their business plan is contract related. In so much as large telecom companies lay of their design engineers, and off load their design work to contractors. Companies like this will thrive. They provide minimal training and no real hope for long term work. They pay scale is hourly and very low. I used to do the same job for a local ILEC for $37.00 hr and was laid off. EA only paid $18.00 hr. They would lay everyone off in the fall when the work dried up.
