Pros

The basic design is good and allows training in area's you may not be trained in. They also offer relocation jobs in other states, but no funds to relocate.

Cons

In reality supervision is inexperienced and the training for new employee's is faulty when you are new to the plant. I seen many cases where a supervisor would allow competitive actions, false accusations, and petty jealousies to rule a decision. Also they want you to be rounded but ignore reality when someone has years of experience in one field. They imply partnership and team work but while the company promotes "they are all for the employee " they make decisions with out notice (like going from 8 hour days to 12 hour days) and while they are working under a contract with the company, the decisions on how to handle the crews come from the company not ATS. And my biggest negative is after luring me to work there and selling my home (at a huge loss in 2011) to move closer, they already knew the company was moving the plant to Texas and I would end up laid off. I really regret not taking a job where I was living for a few dollars per hour less where I would still be working.

Pros

Decent pay especially for people right out of school Decent opportunity if you are "one of the boys" Very competitive health insurance and other benefits

Cons

No real security Constant turn over due to people being scared of layoffs or management outburst. Management turn over was just as bad. I averaged about 1.25 supervisors per year. Customer knows exactly what every employee makes at the Tech Center. Shift to shift battles. Buddy system gets promotions (worse here than most places). Corporate forces what it feels is right on the other sites but knows nothing about what is really going on there. Safety is supposed to be #1 but management doesn't really care about it. It's always the employee's fault and they don't want to spend the money to get the right safety gear. Rumors spread like wildfire is putting it nicely. Reviews are copy and paste with goals that are meaningless or unobtainable HR doesn't seem to know a whole lot about HR
