Pros

Salary and benefits are fair. They are competitive not exceeding the market. Empowerment - you really do have the flexibility and support to make decisions without a bunch of red tape. Just watch out if you make a wrong decision. The people at ATS are great!

Cons

Top management - great as long as you're doing well and billable. Any little snags along the way will be held against you indefinitely. There is no true forgiveness, grudges are held and it will reflect in your opportunities and reviews. Leadership communication from the top executives to managers is not clear or consistent. There seems to be no specific mission or path to follow. Sometimes it's about making money and other times it's just do whatever to keep the customers happy. Work / Life balance is tough. There is flexibility to work remotely and take time when needed, but you're still working very long hours. It's very hard to maintain this level long term. The company grows at a very slow pace so not much room for advancement. Vacation and Sick hours do not seem competitive to others IT companies in the area.

Cons

American Technology Services has become a deeply frustrating place to work due to unstable leadership, poor strategic discipline, and repeated shifts in business direction without clear planning or execution. The company appears to lurch from one business idea to another without the operational maturity, communication, or process needed to support those changes. Instead of building around the trusted staff and client relationships that made the business viable, leadership has repeatedly reduced experienced teams while chasing short-sighted initiatives that seem disconnected from market reality and customer needs. The internal planning is weak, priorities change frequently, and decisions often feel reactive rather than strategic. Staff are left dealing with the consequences of unclear direction, inconsistent processes, and leadership choices that damage morale, service quality, and client confidence. The most concerning issue is the apparent willingness to let valuable institutional knowledge walk out the door while betting heavily on a cyber product that the company does not seem properly positioned to sell, support, or scale. That kind of approach creates unnecessary risk for employees, clients, and the long-term health of the business. Overall, this is an organization with capable people at the working level, but executive leadership has failed to provide the stability, planning, and accountability required to run the business effectively.
