Pros

I don't have to work weekends, in fact no one does because there is nothing to do. I can only empty the trash so many times...I feel my community college degree is underutilized.

Cons

Disgruntled employees, average worker is only here a few months, all employee perks have been taken away, owner tries to run the company himself and is flushing it down the tubes, construction project which bankrupted us, over-head costs have tripled to allow a lavish lifestyle for mgmt, company benz's are a little too much

“Stronger than Ever” Prior to Covid (2020) Acero grew 24% from the date of this predication. The company has not ever had a year in the Red and we are anything but bankrupt, including the year of Covid. In 2020 we replaced 11 machines with new models and spent 4 Million on new equipment and infrastructure. Our benefits have grown, not decreased. We are unable to confirm that an actual HR employee held this position during this timeframe. The presentation of these facts is not correct. The facility looks great (check us out on Instagram) and the company’s leadership is as strong as ever. We hope to continue on the same path.

Nice People but Gain Little Experience

Pros

They treat you nicely and they just got a new facility that was being renovated at the time. The apartments they put you in if you are not from the area are very nice.

Cons

They will make you work weekends and will most likely give you two individual days off during each week. The job is also a little boring because they don't trust you to make any adjustments. So you just the go and stop button while also checking measurements of parts that come out of the machine.

This may be a post from one of the summer interns. If that is the case, there are some limitations on the type of work an intern can perform without supervision. Interns are provided with a comprehensive training program designed to provide one-on-one supervision and a real opportunity to test out their skills. Schedules are always negotiated prior to any start date so there would not be any surprises and the accommodations are always very nice. Nothing less than the best from a first class company.

Worst company ever

Pros

Centrally located. That's about the only advantage about Acero. There once was an abundance of overtime, but that has disappeared.

Cons

There are so many things fundamentally wrong with Acero. Start with the non-communicative, dysfunctional owner. Followed by a long term production manager who has no real world experience in manufacturing and who will do or say anything to make himself look better. Add in employee morale so low it is deficient. And finally factor in false promises and outright lies by ownership and employee turn over that is so extreme it is incomprehensible. Ownership does not have a clue what happens day-to-day. They are fed mis-information and refuse to listen to other sources. This has contributed to the employees dissatisfaction and turn over. Product quality and on-time delivery ate an after thought. You will be outright lied to and not informed. The production manager is a long time employee with no fundamental understanding for his current job position. Additionally his moral compass is broken as he will do and say whatever he needs to make his position look more favorable. Customers are walking away almost as fast as employees. Do yourself a favor and skip this experience.

It is a real stretch to imagine that anyone who actually worked at Acero Precision would make these types of claims and predictions. The only thing we agree with is that the company is located in beautiful West Chester, PA and is easily accessible from Delaware and NJ as well as several surrounding counties right here in Pennsylvania. Facts are important. Here are a few to consider: Leadership absolutely counts and it has a cascading effect on the entire company and how it operates. Our CEO and leadership team directly impacts on the continued growth and success of our “brand” and the positive way we are perceived inside the industry According to the DOL Bureau of Labor Statistics, employee turnover is a challenge throughout the manufacturing industry in the USA. Over time we have made significant progress in maintaining a skilled and empowered workforce. At Acero Precision, we invest as much time into job retention as we do with recruitment. Better pay, better benefits, better PTO just to name a few of the many perks for our employees. Our customers consistently rated us high on satisfaction surveys time and time again. We have not lost a client in the last 10 years and our quality rating and scrap % is just 1.5%. In addition, we are working hard to expand 1st an 2nd shifts and fill production needs for a 3rd shift and weekends. It is standard operating procedure for Acero Precision to make available to the entire Production Team our daily dashboards on Sales/Open Orders/QA tasks and Labor Content. Providing the staff real time data is the only way to operate. No one is being lied to and no one is in the dark. It is not possible for us to be any other way. It is our core. A standard set by our founder and CEO. So we did more than survive – we have succeeded – and will continue to strive to get even better
