Impressive amount of equipment for a small company (autoclaves, CNC, Quality Lab). Owner is amazingly knowledgeable when it comes to composites.

Cons

Lack of Trust from Ownership. Serious issues with Micro Management. No upward mobility. Pay is below market rate. Afraid to take risks to grow the business. Questionable future.

Business Outlook

Pros

As with most companies, there are well intentioned people who want to do a good job. The work is fairly interesting. Pizza party

Cons

A micro-sized company that is flirting with extinction due to the word being out to potential employees on how miserable a place it is. Secondly, if/when customers begin recognizing the extreme turmoil & employee turnover at ACE they will move to a supplier that is stable and able to focus on product quality more than filling vacant positions. Failure to attract future talent (ACE obviously can't retain enough talent) plus a possible/ probable loss of customer confidence combine to create insecurity for the workforce. If you are looking for a secure future look elsewhere
