Pros

Great co workers and awesome shop managers. Very flexible with time off for personal reasons or medical reasons. they pay above average from most entry level jobs.

Cons

for me the drive is an hour to and from and 400 sucks but its worth it. sometimes its stressful because your job is important. Small company so what you do matters

Pros

good hard working people, dedicated employees. Great location in North Alpharetta. few to nobody looking over your shoulder as you are trusted to do your job effectively.

Cons

No scheduling at all. Its fly by the seat of your pants and then tell employees they need to work the hours to get the jobs done as promised No degreed mechanical engineers to do stress related designs as its is cut and paste and hope it works. (more rework) . no compensation for working extra hours. No real health insurance is offered as they don't match so insurance is unaffordable.. This is perfect for the company as this forces you the employee to drop all healthcare from the company and therefore they have to match NOTHING! No compensation for long hours worked. Many company employees are related to the retired owner.

It is unfortunate that an employee left our company feeling the way they did. We spend great time and care to ensure that our employees are treated fairly. Blastec is full of good, hard working individuals that care about the job they do and the quality product that is produced as a result of their efforts. All salaried employees are fairly compensated and our manufacturing employees are offered a competitive rate. Blastec offers a full coverage benefits plan that includes Medical, Dental, Vision, Short Term and Long Term Disability, FSA and a 401K Plan. We are proud to cover over 90% of the Employees Medical premium and over 40% of their Family Coverage. The Short Term and Long Term Disability Policy are provided at no cost to the Employee and the 401K plan has a very competitive Employer Match. We do not allow vacation carry over as it is our policy that everyone needs to take their vacation. Additionally, salaried Blastec Employees accrue sick time for every hour they work. If this were not the case, our average salaried Employee tenure would be less than the 11 years we are currently boasting in our 37 years of being in business. Employees are expected to meet the schedules set forth by Management. We pride ourselves on meeting the schedules set forth by our Customers. The quality and integrity of our product is supported and maintained by our degreed Mechanical Engineering personnel on staff. We are always considerate of the extra effort put forth by all of our Employees when necessary especially by those in our Field Services and Customer Services departments who spend the majority of their time away from home performing installations and training. The claims in this post are simply inaccurate.
