Pros

Pay was good Hours were ok

Cons

No advancement opportunities. Management rules by fear. HR rules by fear and constant threat of headcount reduction. They do not care about you. They care what they can squeeze out of you. They perform hostile takeovers of small companies that they purchase. They are decentralized. They are secretive Not open with employees HR is self service

Pros

Plenty of work Benefits are standard

Cons

Poor Management and company culture. The management is in denial with regards to the workload imposed upon employees. Compensation does not follow increased workload. Upper management does not know what it takes to get tasks completed…they are not tuned in…. poor communication. They struggle to retain employees. Production / shipping product to satisfy monthly revenue goals is paramount to anything else. The H.R. department is useless for production employees…they are just an extension of the management.

Unrealistic expectations

Pros

There are still good people left in local branches.

Cons

Communication between upper management and local branches doesn't exist. HR NEVER answers emails. Every quarter employees are lied to that more help is going to be hired but what ends up happening is 0 people get hired and more people end up leaving as they can't handle the workload. Ametek is numbers driven, employeed are just numbers that mean nothing. Health insurance is rubbish and although employees used to have a Christmas party every year as well as company picnic, with Ametek all that is gone. Employees have 0 motivation and Ametek is doing absolutley nothing to address the issues employees have, instead, they are focusing on working employees even harder to meet the quarterly numbers.
