Pros
The pay and compensation were defintely above average compared to maintenance and repair positions in other jobs. The HR department was very helpful with me concerning pay and time off issues. ATS had a strong safety program that promoted a safer work environment for both the employees and the customers.
Cons
Promises of enrolling personnel into programs where they could advance their careers were not kept. Management failed in correcting personnel shortages by letting employees go as soon as new hires checked aboard. This resulted in a revolving door pattern where those who still worked at Beltsville were being asked to work overtime and odd shifts when they could have spent more time with their families. Previous site managers allowed pay information on some employees to be carelessly leaked to the rest of the site, creating an atmosphere of jealousy and resentment among co-workers, even to the point where one employee quit because of the pay disparity.
