10+ years wasted at a terrible company
Pros
The 401k is decent and that's about it. Other than that, this place is all negative. When I started, the company was owned by a different outfit. From the day ATI took over, it went downhill fast.
Cons
When I started at the company, it was Pacific Cast Technologies. PCT was a fantastic place to work. Then ATI happened. As soon as ATI came in our insurance changed, the management changed, and worst of all the schedule changed. The 3 on 3 off shift is the worst. There is no reward for seniority and everyone works the same amount of weekends. If you enjoy time with your family, this shift will destroy that. Also, the pay is not equitable in all departments. There has not been a cost of living increase in years. I left the company because of the 3 on 3 off schedule, and I still keep in close contact with dear friends who work there. It appears the company is completely unwilling to change the shift despite repeated pleas and complaints and even suggestions of alternatives by senior skilled operators. This shows that ATI is willing to put it's employees second to it's ego and pride. Staying on this crappy shift has nothing to do with profitability, because ATI made more money with less people on the 4-10 schedule. Any company that is willing to lose money in order to prove a point and keep their people down is no company I want to work for.
