Pros

They manufacture a good product in Belgium - Oil free air division. 15 days vacation(standard) + 13 holidays with some flexibility was a good addition.

Cons

Alot of turnover and constant change in direction leaves you chasing your tail and customers super angry. The Atlas Copco Way = cover your own butt while the next guy inherits your mess. They won't let you fix problems unless it comes from Belgium and that takes years to get simple solutions engineered. Always shorthanded, pay raises are on a milk carton, had to start paying for health care that I didn't before they bought us out, if you speak with a european accent you are more likely to be promoted. Not alot of room for growth, very flat structure.

Pros

Coworkers are great Many problems so you stay busy as a CI person The people at the worker bee level are the only real pro

Cons

Managers are too “wise” You can’t change anything inside the ERP but they all want ERP changes (it’s bad you will get frustrated) Super decentralized meaning all building operate how they want to. They make it sound like a strength but it’s literally their biggest weakness. Managers do not understand processes USZ or the NSC in Charlotte has a serious issue of hiring people who are not qualified for manager roles as managers. Discrimination They care more about how you look and not so much about the work you produce
