- Clean Bathrooms - Nice Location

Cons

Acero Precision is a great place to watch your career whither away and die. To say the work place atmosphere is toxic would be an understatement. On the bright side you will have the opportunity to quickly advance through the ranks if you have any remote skill in the manufacturing field. Granted, this is because Acero cannot attract literally any new competent talent(they have no clue what such an individual is worth) and those above you will inevitably grow tired of dealing with narcissistic ownership and the wildly underqualified, over-entitled supervisors and management they deal with on a daily basis. Acero Precision's internal motto is 'Whatever it Takes', when in reality it should be 'Overpromise, Underdeliver, and Mislead.' I was enticed to take a position here by a nice incentive program, paying bonus's potentially monthly, and a state of the art building with a cafe and a gym. Well, the incentive program quickly stopped and disappeared, without even a 'Sorry, we cant afford this anymore'. But hey, the owner has a nice Aston Martin, and a Lamborghini, maybe seeing those can be your incentive. Forget about the gym, that will never exist, but there's a nice shower in the locker room to wash the Acero stink off yourself everyday. If you look this place up on social media do not be fooled by the images. Those pretty walls are filled with tired, crashed, beat up, old, and unreliable machines. Better keep them clean and shiny though, or ownership will come and talk to you like a child and complain there's some oil on them... in a machine shop. In the 8 months since I've left Acero I have learned and developed more as a manufacturing engineer, and been invested in more by ownership than I ever would have at Acero. Do yourself the favor and avoid Acero Precision, any aspirations you have for a fulfilling and gratifying career will thank you later.

“Shiny on the outside, judge for yourself on the inside” Acero Precision is not “a machine shop”. Acero is a state of the art, medical device manufacturing facility which must follow ISO 13485 rules and procedures. Our ability to maintain our certifications is one of many factors which drive our resolve. “Sloppy” is toxic to our operation and we work hard to eliminate it every day. And yes, the social media accounts of the shop are both outstanding, accurate, and developed through the eyes of two employees not an outside PR firm. Construction projects on the scale that is envisioned for Acero Precision are not accomplished overnight and every employee can see the progress being made to achieve these goals for both customers and the workforce. Since 2017, we have replaced approximately 30% (12) of all machines in the shop at an $3.5m investment level. This was the investment in capital equipment alone and does not include the infrastructure, tooling and software. When you check out our posts on Instagram and Facebook you can see for yourself. In addition to requiring our machines and the surrounding work areas to be kept clean and safe and ‘as new’, we do strive for our employees to look professional when they come to work. We supply everything from hats, belts, pants, shoes, shirts, sweaters, ¼ zip pullovers, and jackets at the company’s cost. Some people do not think that respect for equipment, the team, and each other is important. We do, and all of us even take a pledge to instill it into everything we do. More than the traditional “lip service” that we support our employees - we financially invest in our employees through tuition reimbursement, internships, and specialized certification programs. We offer to pay off student loans until they are 100% paid down to zero. These programs have not stopped and will continue to expand. Finally, there is a world of difference between “management is underqualified” and “I don’t want to be held accountable.” The difference can also be defined by those who just want a paycheck and qualified, ambitious men and women who want a career. In 2020, two more employees celebrated ten years of service as manufacturing engineers. Positions they achieved as a result of working at Acero Precision through hard work, dedication and a substantial investment of time and money by ownership. Acero has never had a year where we were not ‘in the black’ so that statement is simply inaccurate. We invite those that would like to see the operation and meet our staff 1st hand to email us at PeopleOps@aceroprecision.com to arrange a tour. Acero Leadership Team

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

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
