Pros

If you like to sit and do nothing it's great for you. There are some good people in the company, but they have their hands tied up due to the critical lack of staff.

Cons

Got no safety training, got told we do things differently here and every single time there was an issue it was swept under the rug. Got taken on with the mindset of using my electrical qualifications, as soon as I actually started I get told you can't use those here, you're not qualified. No one in the company has a clue on what's going on in the short or long term, why there's a massive flood of people leaving for the competition. Also got asked multiple times whenever there was an issue or incident, please don't write a review on glassdoor. Constantly told not to talk about wages as it's against company policy.

Pros

1) Smaller company feel with more opportunities to advance your career faster than a large company. 2) Generally positive changes from leadership the last 3 years. 3) Growth outlook for all sites is very good. Current ownership is focused on growing the business.

Cons

There has been a lot of change over the years - acquisitions and leadership changes. The company will be sold again soon. However, Advent doesn't like to sell to sharks who will steal the technology and let go of the people. Advent has a reputation to uphold in that regard. A lot of the negative reviews came from sudden culture changes a few years ago. Many benefits and policies are now in line with industry standards, for better or worse.
