Pros

Plenty of hours Good benefits Decent wages Sharp image for a manufacturing facility Nice starting gig if you don't have experience

Cons

*CEO belittles employees via email while having no hand in the day-to-day operations, which comes off as very unprofessional. No other company I've worked for has done this. Management seems to know about certain issues going on but seeks to blame employees in the moment and have them take it to heart rather than fix a manufacturing process or acknowledge a flaw in the design to prevent the same problem from happening in the future.

Let’s start with “plenty of hours” and “good benefits,” and now “decent wages,” follow with “sharp image,” and end with a “nice start” for anyone who wants to join our team. We could use this as an ad banner for recruitment. But every company is forced to face a time when potential is left unfulfilled. Typically, for an employee who is performing below expectations the remedy is always to review processes, re-visit training plans, and provide revised guidance to avoid similar problems in the future. In almost every circumstance, this formula works for both the employee and the team. However, we do experience situations where an ultimately positive outcome is not achieved. No blame – just a reality in any business. We expect a great deal from ourselves and the team. The very beginning of this response is confirmation that we offer tremendous rewards and opportunities for every member of Acero Precision. This is possible because our Founder is also our CEO and President. Forty years strong as a company and still flourishing as a state-of-the-art American Manufacturing facility. This no small achievement in 2023. We are able to maintain this level of excellence because of leadership, strong processes, a trained and engaged workforce, accountability, and clear vision for the future. We all realize that the new marketplace is filled with new challenges for both the employer and the employee. Referenced in this review is the issue of turnover. A review of the most recent case studies shows that the turnover rate for American Manufacturing in 2022 was 39%. Our numbers are not even close to that type of turnover. Add to that statistic the fact that 50 million Americans quit their jobs in 2022 we can see that this is not an isolated occurrence. Our CEO along with Acero’s Leadership Team is dedicated to the customers we serve and the employees that get the job done. It is not our “culture” to intentionally “belittle” or embarrass an employee. This disappointing remark is intended to damage the reputation of an individual who provided an opportunity for success. At Acero Precision, just the opposite is true. Please join us and see for yourself.

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
