Aerotech, Inc. reviews

Toxic work culture. A number of “experts” who aren’t really. Management is not interested in hiring people to provide solutions- they are only interested in yes-men that will push buttons as they say.

There's a lot of cons to this company, most of which lie on management. - Absolutely the number one problem is the compensation. With bonuses and profit sharing, the CEO and executives make $1 million+ a year. And the people at the bottom, the people who produce the labor that keeps the company moving? They only get around $20,000 a year. This forces them to work EXTREME amounts of overtime. There are people who work 60 or more hours a week, something they need to do to pay their rent. How can someone live with themselves when their employees are one emergency away from homelessness?! - Another huge problem is the overall company culture. Lately, relations between departments has been very tense. People are blaming everyone for mistakes, it gets blown far too out of proportion, and spirals out of control. Everyone is mad at everyone. And what do the people at the top do, do they try to ease these tensions? No. They ignore, and in some cases even support this hostility, for no reason besides being cutthroat. This is not how you treat your employees, or run a business. - The company is inefficient. And this is again, a problem with the management. An example is the new SMT line. It's a machine that mounts parts to circuit boards, and it only runs at about 25-30% efficiency, compared to other companies that are in the 75-90% range. The unwillingness from the people at the top to invest money or effort into the company is obvious. They also seem to not care that the program the vast majority of the company uses to complete their work is buggy and hardly works. A significant amount of time is committed to the workers fixing this problem that shouldn't be there in the first place. They just seem to not care about vital issues.
