      Un-inspired leadership who only care about the bottom line

      Pros

      There are a lot of friendly people who are socially fun to be around.

      Cons

      Any reviews coming out of the ATL office do not reflect most of the jobs at Applied. I wish the home office and remote offices had the same positive feedback but the CEO did not to move to the corporate headquarters in IL and instead opened up his own small remote office 1000mi away. Although they may be good people to work for on a daily bases it absolutely does not reflect the conditions at Applied as a whole since 99% of employees are in Canada, CT, and IL. Second, leadership (middle management & senior leadership) spend more time navigating internal policy than actually leading. My experience has been if you ask difficult questions or want to change redundant procedures your direct leadership won't do anything to help. This may be a result of the "changing of the guards" or what happens when a new CEO comes in and brings their senior staff with them. The company as a whole has a lot of potential and employees who want succeed. But having dealt with a new CEO for over 12 months it seems the only progress Applied is making is to secure more companies through acquisitions for its eventual sale.

      Atrocious

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -The people you will work closely with are fantastic, however these relationships are mostly based on mutual unhappiness and disdain for the company -It's nearly impossible to get fired, if you sit at your desk and clip coupons all day you'll probably get paid more (This sounds like sarcasm, it's not, this literally happened.)

      Cons

      -Morale within the company is terrible -Absolutely no control over employee turn around, nor any attempt to. The lack of control over turnaround means that if you've been there two years you're a senior employee. -Upper management is completely absent until something goes wrong, after which they only attempt to pacify the customer, not fix the problem. They're extremely focused on metrics but have no effective tools actually measure them. There's a total disconnect between the average employee and what management thinks is going on. -Constant infighting between departments, communication only exists to pass the buck -Starting salary will be extremely low, and they'll do their best to keep you at that point, if you do get a raise management will act like they're doing you a favor (You'll still be well below the average if you get one, expect under $1000.00) -Career opportunities are a joke, expect everything to be a "lateral move" with no opportunity for a raise

      Pros

      Leadership respects all employees, values their experience and expertise, and allows them to do the job they were hired to do. Quick to acknowledge a job well done. Great benefits and good people. Pleasant working environment and access to the latest technology.

      Cons

      I have yet to experience any cons.
