Pros

Good place to have a job while looking for a real job. Several sites easy hire due to high turnover and poor management. Site will send you to or invest in your training without time served pay back, i.e., $4K worth of technology classes out of state in two months and you can give two weeks notice and self terminate and take that experience and training to another company without pay back.

Cons

You are contracted by another company i.e., as a contracted maintenance person for a real company i.e. Caterpillar, Worlds Finest Chocolate, Pretzels, with a limited period contract which is renewed (hopefully) each two, three of five year period. You could be furloughed at any time to improve sites profit margin, seniority dose not count, this is a non-union at will termination company.

As a current supervisor, you are aware that ATS is not a contract company. We are the best at what we do - factory maintenance - which is why companies that you mentioned hire us, and also why we are able to offer good compensation, comprehensive benefits, career opportunities and best in class technical training. We would be happy to discuss your current situation more if you like, please contact us at feedback@advancedtech.com.

Pros

Great time to sell into the manufacturing sector related to productivity and equipment reliability.

Cons

Operational driven company but constantly changing the sales org and strategy. "Leaders" that have no background in business development or revenue generation responsible for sales strategy. Wasn't uncommon to report to a new leader or move sales territories multiple times in a year but quota never changed. Top performers are expected to do and sell more but additional financial upside was out of the question. A select group of legacy employees and "leaders" made decisions in a bubble in most cases. I was a top performer during my entire tenure at ATS. I agreed to work out a two week notice to help transition my accounts but was terminated after three days. No one in middle management, director, or exec-level roles asked for feedback or even made the time to send an email wishing me well or thanking me for my contributions during my five years with the company. In fact, my health insurance was terminated with no warning before I left the last day. My contributions and sacrifices for ATS meant so little to the company that they didn't care that my two small children wouldn't have insurance for over a month when I tried to leave the right way.
