Pros

I have worked for Acero for a while, people have come and gone. While they have very little tolerance for mistakes, they appreciate and do reward loyalty with loyalty. They are an old fashioned type Company in some of the best ways. Yes, the Owner certainly does at times micro manage (his prerogative) they also know their employees,never deny time off for personal issues, extend support in times of hardship, and are even protective of those that have a consistent record of working hard for the Company. Yes, there are times when the pressure of maintaining success is a weight felt from the top down, but there has also been many times when they have offered a reward to celebrate a victory (Lunches, breakfast, profit sharing, parties, events etc.) overall I am grateful for the experience.

Cons

Often the single biggest issue is the middle managers interpersonal skills. While they may be knowledgeable about machining, they are often petty and bullying particularly to younger cell members, and can create an atmosphere that is not conducive of optimum production. They often will "throw someone under the bus" in situations where they failed to adequately supervise the person or the person clearly lacked the required skill or experience to do the requested task. They also fail to listen to those with experience doing particular jobs which often leads to bad parts or unnecessary waste creating greater overhead costs unnecessarily.

Our word is our bond. Our Ownership lives this each day. For the most part it is repaid but even when it is not the company always lives up to its commitment. Thank you for recognizing an attribute you cannot find just anywhere. We have invested time and training into our floor leaders. And we will continue to do more. Our PeopleOPS department is led by individual with more than 20+ years of organizational development and management training experience with some of the largest employers in the country. This year we will be launching the first phase of Acero University – an internal platform to upgrade the skill competencies of machinists and managers throughout the company.

Pros

I’ve genuinely had a great experience working here. It’s a private, family-owned company, and that really shows in how employees are treated day to day. The culture is welcoming, and the people I work with are not only friendly but also supportive and easy to collaborate with. One thing that really stands out is how much effort ownership puts into making employees feel appreciated. There are thoughtful perks like food trucks, gift cards, a bowling league, and other fun events that break up the routine and make the work environment more enjoyable. It doesn’t feel forced—it actually adds to morale and creates a stronger sense of community. The manufacturing facility itself is state-of-the-art, which makes a big difference in how efficiently and effectively we can do our jobs. The work is also genuinely interesting—we’re involved in medical device manufacturing that helps create products designed to improve people’s lives. It adds a strong sense of purpose, knowing the work we do is important and ultimately helps patients. Overall, it’s a positive place to work where you feel valued, not just as an employee, but as a person. That kind of environment can be hard to find, and it’s a big reason why I enjoy coming to work each day.

Cons

None to report at this time.

Pros

I have a job that pays.

Cons

Acero Precision has a miserable work atmosphere because of disrespectful and rude management. Employees here are treated terribly by managers who constantly look down on us. There is no respect for our personal or professional boundaries, and managers sometimes insult and yell at us in front of our co workers.

Dear Readers, This review is completely fabricated and does not reflect the reality of our workplace. Our two-person Building Maintenance team has been with Acero Precision for nearly ten years. They are valued members of our organization who consistently do an outstanding job. The statements made in this review simply do not align with the facts. Rather than relying on anonymous online posts, we encourage anyone who is genuinely interested in learning about our company to visit our facility, meet our team, and speak directly with the employees who work here every day. We are confident they will provide an honest and accurate perspective on what it is like to be part of Acero Precision. Unfortunately, anonymous review sites have become increasingly susceptible to false or misleading posts. In some cases, these reviews appear to be created to generate business opportunities for reputation management or consulting firms that later approach companies offering paid services to "fix" the problem. Whether or not that is the case here, readers should approach anonymous reviews with appropriate skepticism. Sincerely, Acero Precision
