Pros

Decent pay especially for people right out of school Decent opportunity if you are "one of the boys" Very competitive health insurance and other benefits

Cons

No real security Constant turn over due to people being scared of layoffs or management outburst. Management turn over was just as bad. I averaged about 1.25 supervisors per year. Customer knows exactly what every employee makes at the Tech Center. Shift to shift battles. Buddy system gets promotions (worse here than most places). Corporate forces what it feels is right on the other sites but knows nothing about what is really going on there. Safety is supposed to be #1 but management doesn't really care about it. It's always the employee's fault and they don't want to spend the money to get the right safety gear. Rumors spread like wildfire is putting it nicely. Reviews are copy and paste with goals that are meaningless or unobtainable HR doesn't seem to know a whole lot about HR

Pros

Great time to sell into the manufacturing sector related to productivity and equipment reliability.

Cons

Operational driven company but constantly changing the sales org and strategy. "Leaders" that have no background in business development or revenue generation responsible for sales strategy. Wasn't uncommon to report to a new leader or move sales territories multiple times in a year but quota never changed. Top performers are expected to do and sell more but additional financial upside was out of the question. A select group of legacy employees and "leaders" made decisions in a bubble in most cases. I was a top performer during my entire tenure at ATS. I agreed to work out a two week notice to help transition my accounts but was terminated after three days. No one in middle management, director, or exec-level roles asked for feedback or even made the time to send an email wishing me well or thanking me for my contributions during my five years with the company. In fact, my health insurance was terminated with no warning before I left the last day. My contributions and sacrifices for ATS meant so little to the company that they didn't care that my two small children wouldn't have insurance for over a month when I tried to leave the right way.
