Vantaggi

Working at ASC is a great opportunity right after college to gain some good, real world engineering experience. The opportunity here has helped me acquire new opportunities and provided me skills to put me a cut above the rest of the competition. The engineers and floor workers are kind and easy to get along with, and plenty of opportunities for team building such as picnics, friday lunches, etc. Being able to be both a project manager and an engineer provided invaluable experience not only towards my resume but when applying for other positions. The engineering mentors really help you hone in the engineering process and the correct steps to take when working on a project here to successfully complete it.

Svantaggi

1. Although its great experience being both a PM and engineer, the job is very stressful and you will feel overworked. It is a lot of responsibility to take on both roles and would ideally be better being broken up into two. 2. If you do anything, whether work related or not, and it does not follow the personal beliefs of the company, they will continuously look into your social media platforms, including recruiting social media platforms, to see if you are applying for new jobs. 3. HR and management will question you anytime you update your recruitment social media and creates a toxic work environment where you will fear retaliation anytime you want to update your job searching social media platforms. 4. Their HR team prey on younger, inexperienced workforce who do not know laws and regulations and will make/change rules on the fly to take advantage of their employees.

Thanks for the review. I appreciate much of what you say, but I do have some disagreements. Thanks for the Pros. I agree that you'll never find a better early-career resume booster than from ASC, especially as a mechanical engineer. You'll learn tons of stuff and gain very good skill at design, analysis, project management, resource planning, and lots of other stuff. As for the Cons, I agree with your first point, however for points 2-4, I feel you're seeing this incorrectly. Let me explain. 2. ASC tries to build strong values in our employees, especially the young people who join our team. We want to teach our employees to communicate properly, care about each other, and offer help when it's needed. We are looking to foster leadership. When engineers fail to live up these values, we try to speak with them a correct them. This is how you create a great company with great people. 2/3. Social media. Our managers and HR teams are trained to recognize when employees ight be having a difficult time at work, or are unhappy with their job. To gain this understanding, we regularly talk to employees, and we also check whether employees are "looking for another job". So, you are correct that we regularly look to recruiting sites to see who might be looking, and then use that knowledge to find out what we're doing wrong and what we might be able to do to keep them. The goal is always to keep our employees - not to let them go. We do not check Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or any similar social media. We only check Indeed, Zip Recruiter, Glassdoor, and similar recruiting sites. 4. This is untrue. We do not prey on anyone, including younger employees. Actually, our new younger employees get a higher level of attention and frequency of raises and promotions than those who have been here longer. However, I will say that we don't treat young employees as children. We treat them as professional adjusts and have expectations that they will work as professional adults. This can be jarring to some younger engineers who are not familiar with being given firm expectations and then having to meet those expectations. In my view, each engineer who works or ASC is a High Achievement Star and we that's how we treat them. Anyway, thanks again for the review. I hope you find the type of job that makes you happy.

Thanks for the review. You are correct that we have lots of work, and it's also true that sometimes that work load can add stress to your day. Sorry about that. We are continuing to take steps to improve the work efforts so that they occur with fewer roadblocks. Hopefully that will make your day less stressful in the future. As for the investment opportunities, ASC is privately held and as such does not issue stock or options to employees.

Vantaggi

Decent starter job for controls engineer

Svantaggi

Management will very rarely have your back as the dollar sign is gods word. Field work sounds exciting at first but will ship you out on back to back multi-month jobs without breaks. There are snakes in the other departments that will try to bring you down to bring themselves up. Benefits arent great either and judge you for taking sick days and vacation time.
