Unethical Practices and Mismanagement at ATC

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Peers are wonderful New CEO is taking company in right direction

Cons

If you don’t make your deliverables, regardless of fault, you need to be video taped physically dropping an object and say that you were not successful. This video is then shared to the entire site. The company (Arconic Technology Center ATC) tracks when you badge in and badge out every day and runs a report to see how long everyone is working. They use this against you in evaluations. If you don’t regularly put in 50+ hours/week you’ll be told you won’t advance. If you miss submitting your time card, you go on a “Timesheet Offenders” list that is available to everyone to see. Only after I left did I truly realize what stockholm syndrome I had working at ATC. Stay away if you want to grow your career.

Pros

I guess I would say some of the people you work with are very nice, fun people.

Cons

The biggest issue is definitely the management and supervisors, there is very much of a me vs you attitude, you do not feel safe going to them with issues because they don't do anything about it. Presses are constantly down or having issues because they refuse to have them fixed properly. Saturdays are mandatory even though there is a set weekend shift. Also talk of making everyone work 7 days a week. Quality changes their minds day to day what is a good part and what's bad.
