Pros

Insurance. This is about the only thing that was positive with my ADS career. At one point it did not cost employees a dime.

Cons

There isn’t much good to say in my 5+ years with ADS. Once you are hired, you’re stuck in that spot for good unless you have an in with a click. They don’t have any career opportunities programs to help advance your career. Very discouraging day in and day out knowing nothing better can come along with hard work and determination. I dreaded coming in every day, even stressed enough to effect my life out side of ADS. Cant be more happy to have left. Very little pay with position I came into with minimal raises. The morale at the plant level is also extremely discouraging. There was a new face every day with turnover rates sky high. Putting people into certain positions because of who they know really helped create this environment. Coming from someone who was in a management role.

Pros

Great work environment, flexible schedule, 10% stock discount, tuition reimbursement, and a fast growing company with many project opportunities.

Cons

A lot of departments within IT so it can be hard to adjust if coming from a smaller company

Pros

Flexible work environment, good people for the most part. Hard to get fired

Cons

zero incentives to work hard. Limited vacation. Always cutting back on spending despite having record breaking financials. Not competitive base pay and on top of that theres no bonuses. Management provides no path for moving forward and continues to set a precedent of hiring externally instead of promoting within. When you do get promoted its nothing to write home about. Its usually 2x the normal yearly increase (which by the way has not matched inflation once since Ive been here). This is the perfect job for someone with experience who wants to settle down and coast and not have to worry about losing their job.
