Business Outlook

Pros

Small teams. Supportive management. Can work a little extra an “bank” extra time for later use (basically extra vacation time. Great employee stock ownership plans. 100% employee owned means a prime can not come in and buy out the company , ax half of the employees, and change everything that makes it a great place to work. Good benefits.

Cons

Growing pains from being part of fast growing company. Many groups scattered around different buildings on and off the arsenal making it difficult to coordinate somethings.

Thank you for the positive review, and thank you for understanding and valuing the benefits that we enjoy by being a part of an employee-owned company! While we have people located not only all over Huntsville and the Arsenal, but also the country, we do make every effort to support our employee-owners at all of our locations. We are also certainly growing, which is both intentional and positive for an employee-owned company, but we have maintained consistent and planned growth of 30-40% each year since our founding in 2002. We are excited that growth has led to our recognition on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest growing private companies for the past 13 years!

Pros

I took my first job after finishing my college education with Torch Technologies and have been here for about a year. I didn't really know what to expect, but it has been the greatest experience. It truly is like a family here. Their pay is more than fair, the work-life balance is unbelievable, and the company culture makes you want to be the best at your job. I'm a firm believer in companies that invest in their employees and Torch does this in several ways. Their benefits in regards to retirement and ESOP profit sharing help all employees get ahead and prepare financially for their future. Additionally, they offer perks such as tuition reimbursement. I have gone on to pursue my master's degree and Torch has reimbursed me for more than half of my costs. I'm so thankful that I've found such a great company to grow with professionally.

Cons

-I feel like the folks who don't work at corporate sometimes feel distant from the company, but given the nature of our work and organization I know there isn't really a way to fix this.
