Pluspunten

Safety Focused Average Pay for the area

Minpunten

Tries to downsize the maintenance crew to much. Internal politics and politics between the company and customer is a constant head ach for the tech. Pay raise system is lacking. Every year a new reason is made for delaying the process. When you do get a race it is usually between 1 to 1.5% but can easily be lower if you miss a goal. Max is 3% but you must greatly exceed all expectation to achieve this. Benefits are below average and often changed so much that the employees are often unable to use them effectively. Management is on approximately a max 4 year rotation, which means that you constantly have new managers running the show. Management doesn't understand the business they run. Because of this they underbid projects and often miss quote statistics needed by magnitudes. They ask for advice for setting goals for projects but never use that information to make their quotes accurate. They like to lean heavily on those who perform and push them to exhaustion rather than push those who are not performing well. Push to do the same % of cost savings year after year. The problem is after more than 10 years this starts to cut into money needed to support systems correctly and machines end up having to be "rigged" to work because money is not available for the parts needed to repair it correctly.

Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

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.
