Acero Precision reviews

Where do I start. All I can say i've never been fed such a huge amount of lies from anyone, you'd think they are con-artists. All they talk about is how amazing the place is to work, and everything they do for the employees. They plan on building gyms, training classes, temporary housing for out of state interviewee's (b/c they pushed all the good local people to quit), but none of the current employees care about that all. All upper management cares about is appearance. They have easily 10+ custodians cleaning the shop on a daily basis. They have highly qualified welders / fabricators running around the machines with touch-up kits fixing any sort of paint chip. The entire shop must remain SPOTLESS at all times. Doesn't matter if you are doing machine maintenance, deburring parts, or setting up a machine. They will gladly let you know that your area isn't clean enough, doesn't matter if you are working like mad to get things done. Next up is the horrific air quality conditions. All the machines have oil / vapor collectors, but none of them work correctly, which causes oil vapor to be released into the air. During a sunny day, you can see a fog of oil in the air from the skylights. OSHA has been in twice in the past 8 months regarding this and nothing has been done to improve it. Employees are generally overworked and stressed out. Management sets unrealistic deadlines for customer deliveries and expect the employees to work even more hours (50+ minimum a week) to try to reach their deadlines. Generally, employees are not happy and do not want to be there. I have seen 15 people quit in the past year alone. These are just a couple things; I could go on for a while. Just trust me, If it seems too good to be true, then it most likely is. Run far away.

They don't really know what they are doing. Company is good at rubbing elbows and getting the "sales" in but the upper management doesn't know how to run a company. Running a company begins with taking care of the employees, not building a multi-million dollar "state or the art" facility. Acero would be a lot more profitable if they took care of their employees instead of overworking them into the ground. They need to stop building unnecessary upgrades to their new facility like a helipad and use that money to give back to the workers who put their blood sweat and tears into the company. Upper Management tries to swindle you out of the raises that are due to you so that they can put on a horse and pony show with all the new fancy upgrades... most of which don't make any sense. ie: why does a machine shop have a slippery $1million dollar floor made of terrazzo (basically like marble)? Who is that for?! Not for the employees because it is extremely unsafe for when oil drips out on the floor or when employees have to stand on that hard floor ALL day for 10+ hours at a time. Upper Management worries about the image that Acero is putting out there, but they aren't focusing on the bad reputation that already exists amongst the industry that it is a horrible place to work for machinists... I'm sure for everyone else as well.
