Pros
Pays relatively well You learn a lot about the company's customers Easy to earn additional PTO with volunteering Many talented individuals in non-management positions
Cons
-The poor culture at ATS is 100% a failure of management. Unfortunately a downside of companies with a sole owner is that all decisions reflect in one way or another on that owner, so a poor choice in leadership at the executive level is rarely rectified because it would mean losing face. ATS is no exception. -The company refuses to learn from its mistakes because it doesn't admit making them. If the company had a motto, it would be "Not my fault!"; management acts as if the company has just been a victim of circumstance instead of poorly managed -Poor OSHA record -Extremely high turnover at all levels so instability is the result -New hires are still promised a 10% bonus annually, paid quarterly. This hasn't been paid out in over 2 years.
