Pros

Great company to work for. They promote developing people from within and provide many opportunities for upward growth. They support continuous education and seek for continuous improvement. Safety is taking seriously and every employee is empowered to make a difference.

Cons

Contracts. Most of Advanced Technology Services (ATS) employees are out in the field working at customer sites under contracts. Now this has worked very well from many years but the nature of business and contracts means that there is no guarantee for permanence.

Pros

The benefits are good, 401k, medical, vacation are nice. Managers are usually very hands off. They have a very strong emphasis on safety. If your customer lays you off they'll typically try and place you elsewhere.

Cons

Benefits get worse every year. Pay is low. Managers/Supervisors rotate through constantly, although you might not notice as they're typically absent. Most have no technical background, and won't be able to help you if there's a problem. Managers also typically will fight to keep wages or raises low, and aren't willing to negotiate with your customer on your behalf. Personal and technical development are very poor, although they have a number of very basic classes you can take.

Pros

There are no pros working for this company

Cons

The problem is that these guys are slaves to Caterpillar. Caterpillar employees and contractors are demanding and having to fulfill even the most stupid request like setting up an Outlook email even though CAT uses Lotus Notes is mind boggling. In addition the upper management isn't helpful at all and all they do is tell you to look at the documents for certain problems. Terrible company, terrible management and they've fired new employees because they didn't meet their ridiculous standards
