Pros

Not a lot of pros. Co-workers are nice. Company is starting to implement a career growth program, but I'm curious how that's going to go. Free access to LinkedIn Learning Courses. 401k match.

Cons

Where do I begin. -As someone else said, ATCC is 20% below the salary average for most positions. Very accurate. You can get paid more elsewhere, just do some research on Glassdoor/Linked In/Indeed/etc. -Good luck getting any promotions. Favoritism, visibility, and pure luck is key to promotions here. Having a good work ethic will not help. Your hard work, skills, and knowledge will be taken advantage with no compensation, at least that's how it was for me. Speaking of compensation... -No bonuses. Worked here for a few years and never received a bonus. Unless you're management level. -Vacation hours accrual are decent but sick leave accrual is poor. Don't get sick! -Communication within the company is horrible. There's so many moving parts between departments and communication easily gets lost. I've been literally yelled at for things I was completely unaware of. Projects are a mess, depending on who's the project manager. -ERP software used by everyone in the company is a nightmare. Slow, cumbersome, not user-friendly and buggy, poor training for it. Need to train yourself and ask for help to learn. -Other reviews about upper management are accurate. Poor and top heavy. Poor business decisions. Very much REACTIVE versus proactive decisions. Always worried about the budget. Cheapest purchase always. I hate to be so negative about this company, but its hard not to. I felt like I was treated poorly and taken advantage while only being paid an entry-level salary. My work/life balance was very much effected, mostly due to the nature of the work, but requests to get this alleviated were slow and not effective. ATCC left a very bad taste in my mouth.

Pros

Had a good team and supervisor. Interesting projects. Learned a lot of skills that helped me get my next job.

Cons

Employees are viewed as disposable. If you don’t like the salary or benefits then you can leave. The benefits used to be good but over the years they were stripped away. I wouldn’t wish this job on any friend.

Pros

Decent for entry level for a year or two max as a stepping stone to a less chaotic and more rewarding position elsewhere.

Cons

High turnover, management to worker ratio too high, low performing employees kept around too long, inconsistent priorities and goals, low salaries, underwhelming benefits, lack of cooperation between departments, over-reliance on outside consultants and contractors due to lack of internal knowledge.
