Pros

ASC constantly focuses on standardizing and continually improving processes in all aspects of the business. Everyone understands the vision, but all take the lead to initiate this process.

Cons

Lack of empowerment and communication. Communication barriers exist just like any other company would have, from management down to the shop level or visa versa.

Pros

In fairness to ASC, they have very few layoffs, are financially strong and growing. There are also a handful of very nice/bright people there that are stuck for now.

Cons

The company pushes people to the breaking point. Forget about work-life balance. You can easily put in 12+ hour days and still not be caught up on your workload. They are reactive, not proactive. Many people feel defeated and often talk about wanting to leave. There is no talent development effort in place. This is a ok place to come for 1 - 2 years, gain a marketable skill set and move on. As stated above, they have a handful of very bright people in place, but in general they've not been able to attract top talent. There is no connection with Management...and management will throw you under the bus every chance they get to boost their own ego. This is not an environment that encourages innovation and create thought.

Thanks for your review, and I appreciate your feedback. Although it might not always feel that way, management at ASC is constantly focused on the health and well-being of our employees. As a result of your review, we polled all of our employees to ask how much overtime they wanted. The results indicated that all but a few wanted to continue overtime, but that only 15% wanted 12 hrs per day. The majority of employees wanted to work 10 hrs/day, and as a result we switched to 10 hrs/day. Also, for those that wanted to work straight-time only, we agreed to give them 8 hrs/day. Now, we only consider 12 hr/days in special circumstances. Thanks for your advice.

Paid to Stay but glad to be Gone

Pros

Safe and Clean inside shop and in office. Pay was good enough to stay (until something else came along). Outside the presidents office and top supervisors, everyone seems to get along great. Insurance was nice to have and not a bad price for coverage. Christmas and Summer Parties were nice, the two days the president seemed like a great guy.

Cons

President and top supervisors (shop supervisors) are mean and push for more from everyone. Don't be fooled by the idea that this is an 8hr per day job (even for salary folks). Many employees are shocked to learn they don't have a choice about travel too. Ask anyone that works there, if they could leave, they would. They sent supervisors to anger managment, even fired one mean supervisor, but going to take more. They don't consider that these supervisors are mean by nature and going to take a lot to change their behavior.

I appreciate your constructive criticism. Because of your review, we met with ASC supervisors to discuss your comment about supervisors being "mean". I do not agree that any supervisor at ASC is inherently mean, but I do know that stressful conditions on the shop floor (ie. late deliveries, problem employees, etc.) might cause supervisors and mangers to appear mean when they speak to their employees. I have reinforced the message to all supervisors to try to be fair, professional and courteous with employees when discussing work assignments, even if you're having a bad day. Thanks for your review.
