AMADA Field Service Engineer reviews

-No growth potential. -Never given a review or pay raise until I requested it. I was told early on that you will not likely see a pay raise until fourth year, as you are training on many types and variations of machines and become proficient. Even after fourth year, one would think you could get proficiency evaluations and incremental raises based on performance or at very least to offset inflation. The Employee Handbook states that evaluations are generally given annually. Actually, it seems that if no one mentions evals and pay raises then they will never be brought up to you...Shhhhhhhh!!!!...Be very quiet...if you don't mention Pay Raise or Eval, our employees will not want them!??????? -Very little company information disseminated to the ranks.

Below average base pay. Out of the three field service jobs I have had, this one was by far the most technical and hard work, the dirtiest environment, and the least amount of pay. The President of Amada America was quoted as saying no Field service engineer was worth 50k a year salary. This is absurd, FE's put in long hours of driving and labor every day, installing millions in machinery each year. Some of them have been in the field over 10 years, with no ladder to climb and no structured raises.
