Pros

I loved my job, the challenges with it and the people I worked with. I loved building the supplier relationships and the independence to get my job done. I was there for 16 years and wanted to keep my career growing with Ametek.

Cons

When department restructuring occurred and I was asked to assume responsibilities of a buyer they were terminating, I was promised promotion to Senior buyer and salary increase. I waited a year and asked multiple times about it, only to be told I wasn't senior buyer material. I was saving the company $90K a year by not replacing the buyer they terminated, I rebuilt damaged supplier relationships and corrected the errors of the previous buyer with their PO maintenance.

Flexible start time (6–8 AM) and ability to make up missed time. Supportive direct management and good work-life balance. Opportunity to learn a variety of manufacturing skills.

Cons

Compensation is not competitive with the current manufacturing market. Limited career growth and advancement opportunities for technicians. Skilled employees often need outside offers to receive meaningful pay adjustments. Random drug testing policy may be a drawback for some candidates.
