Pros

Acero Precision is a great “foot in the door” to the manufacturing industry. They will hire you with little experience and facilitate your training until you are able to stand on your feet as a successful employee. They provide high quality uniforms and expect everyone to look nice at work. They want to present the company in a positive look. A few of the people who work there are very nice and they try to form a good work environment.

Cons

The company failed to follow all CDC guidelines. It puts employees and their families at risk and puts the success of the company over the safety of their workers. If you’re not a manager, supervisor, or have any big meaning to the company, they will shoot you down first and no consequences in any given situation goes towards those who have “bigger” meaning to the company. Nobody’s perfect, but HR is very disorganized. They don’t listen to you when you come to them with a problem and even if they take the time to listen nothing gets done to fix it. They put more effort into making the place look nice than fixing actual issues that the company is constantly struggling with. Another issue that Acero has struggled with for a while is that you have to fight for your pay. At least in my case they never offered me anything for my hard work. They will just wait until you say something and then often try to pressure you to take less.

A modified version of this post is also on Indeed. But in that posting the former employee was an inspector. We welcome the opportunity to respond to feedback from current and former employees, however, it is time consuming to “set the record straight” for false and unfounded accusations. It is very difficult to honestly address this review. The alleged “former employee” states clearly that Acero Precision is a great place to start a career and we do everything possible to allow the employee to be successful. End of story and thanks for the compliment. The accusations about CDC guidelines are simply false. As a company, we have partnered with our workforce to protect all employees and their families. Our track record in this regard is outstanding and we will never stop doing more. Our HR or PeopleOPS department strives to be the best. We agree no one is perfect but it does not prevent us from trying to improve how we support the entire team and their families. There is no “class system” at play in Acero Precision. Everyone counts and all inputs are invited. To suggest otherwise clearly demonstrates the strong possibility that the reviewer did not work here. Finally, every employee negotiates a fair and competitive wage at the start. We also have an annual review process. We do this because it is important to reward great people and great performance.

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
