Pros
They have one great product (Fragment Analyzer). Co-workers are generally competent, nice people, easy to get along with.
Cons
1.) Management is stuck in the 1950's. For years, hourly employees operated under the honor system, submitting their hours on piece of paper. Everybody worked hard and nobody tried to game the system. Then they brought in a new knucklehead CFO who instituted a punch-in, punch-out clock system straight out of Fred Flintstone. Did he not realize that however many extra minutes was gained by this new method was negated by employee resentment and badwill? 2.) The pay sucks. On the one hand they tell you that you did a great job over the past year -- then you get a 3% raise! WTF!?! As a general rule, the talented people leave over time because they are underpaid, the mediocre ones stay. The only ones who are well-compensated are upper management, who are way, way overpaid. A select group of 8 people (the CEO and his buddies) received 30% bonuses in 2016, while everyone else got scraps. Not a single woman was included in this bonus group, which leads me to my next point... 3.) No women in upper management. Women are generally patronized and by upper management. They have no voice in the important decisions. And no, I'm not a woman -- I'm a guy saying this. 4.) Very conservative, very cautious, very stuck-in-the mud approach to everything. If AATI was a football team, the only plays they would ever call on offense would be quarterback sneak and fullback up the middle. 5.) New ideas are attacked immediately because it differs from what they're already doing. 6.) Credit for positive progress does not go to the workers or people responsible for actually generating the good results. Instead, it goes to the bigshots. 7.) Departments do not work together collaboratively. Instead, they fight with each other & point fingers.
