Pros

The only pros are the people you meet and the friendships you make.

Cons

Let me start off by saying I had the same issues as the "shameless" review. Asc won't confirm employment or that you ever worked there. The pay is terrible as a LA city certified structural welder they started me off at $16/hr. Promised me more after I proved myself. "The lie detector test determined THAT WAS A LIE!" They say your safety is the #1 priority LIES! Not getting kicked off the jobsite for safety violations is their #1 priority. They send you to the field on a two week job, guess what LIE, stuck out there for six weeks or six months you never know. You are forced to work 10-12 hour days and if asked to work Saturday and you refuse that was grounds for termination.

Thank you for your review. From the tone of your review, it sounds like you have some long-standing grievance with the company. I'm sorry you feel that way, but hopefully my response will provide some sense of closure for you. I'll address each of your issues. First of all, ASC's pay is at or above other manufacturers in the Los Angeles area. We hire entry-level welders and fabricators at or near $16-17/hr. Entry-level is defined as "you've never had a job before". In some cases, entry-level welders have some weld school certifications and city certifications. That's a plus, and would increase their starting salary by $1/hr, however, the certification doesn't mean that you've held a job and have worked reliably. Because of that, you won't get a higher wage at ASC without proof of reliable and long-term employment experience. Even if you come to ASC with some experience, we'll still look at your longevity at other companies and quality of welding (Weld test) to judge where you "fit" in our organization and what wage you should get. ASC makes no implicit promise of a specific raise to new hires, but do promise that if they work hard, show good quality, and show good company values, then they will be rewarded with good yearly raises. Many of our best new hires achieve raises of 7-10% after their first year, and some high-achievers will get much more. If you didn't receive a similar raise, then there must have been quality, safety, attendance, or other disciplinary events in your employment that held you back. Regarding Safety, if you worked here, then you know that ASC has an amazing safety culture and shows that culture every day on the shop floor. Experienced new hires are always amazed at how strong the safety culture is at ASC compared to their previous company. Regarding field work: yes, we have lots of field work, which is discussed with each new hire. We don't promise anyone that they won't travel. Some field installations are short duration and some are much longer, and we make this very clear to all who work here or wish to be hired. Fortunately, most of our employees enjoy travelling. Lastly, no one has ever been terminated for not wanting to work overtime. In reality, our fabrication employees have always been able to get on a "No overtime" list where they will work 8hrs/day with no overtime. In reality, most of our employees like overtime and don't choose to be added to this list. Anyway, It's never good to harbor resentment and hate toward others, so I hope you're able to find something that makes you happy outside of ASC. Good luck with your life and career.

They have their act together

Pros

I've worked at a dozen other companies and ASC is the first one that seems to have their act together. They have a nice facility, outfit it with lots of new equipment, and they have a high focus on safety. ASC is a medium sized company but still has a small company feel. Nice cafeteria with flat screen TVs. There is mandatory overtime (10 hr per day), but I and most of my co-workers like that, especially near Christmas time. Every month they bring free pizza in for all employees. As I said, safety seems like it's the most important thing here, which is much different than my last jobs. My pay is good and benefits are also good. They also pay bonuses to shop guys for working on successful projects.

Cons

Some guys here complain too much. I think they need to quit and see what other companies look like. Shop supervisors and managers are ok but they tend to get a bit exited some times. Engineers can be annoying when they come out and ask stupid questions about their Econoclaves. They should teach us more about the Econoclave especially the plumbing and what the parts do.

I usually thank most people who post negative reviews, as it offers the chance to clarify ASC's policies and goals, and also lets me provide some closure to those who, for whatever reason, have bad feelings about our company. Your review, however, is not one that I would find useful to you, to ASC, or to those looking for employment. As you definitely know, when ASC hired you, we spent quite some time training you about our culture and the importance of what we call Team Values. Team Values are important to ASC, and are the thing that creates a uniquely positive environment for those who work here. "Positive Attitude" is one of the important pillars of Team Values. It speaks to the way that people see themselves and how they frame the different interactions that occur every day. From your review, I can only assume that you are someone who is not actually a positive person, and should probably never have worked at our company. For that mistake, I apologize.
