AVG Automation Reviews

Bad pay, promises made during the interview are not kept (they talk big and will wine and dine you during the interview), once you sign the employment contract, you are done! Hostile work environment. CEO micromanages everything. Medical insurance premiums are very high, No employer contribution to 401K. When you interview at the Bettendorf, IA location, ask to use the restroom. It will tell you the state of the company and it's standards! When you walk in the door, look down and look at the state of the carpet, it will tell you all you want to know about the company!

- Pay isn't up to par with industry standard along with the commission structure (which is also not very good and strangely done). Maybe put together a good bonus plan along with good pay and employees might stick around longer than 4 months. - Quality of products and technology is lacking BIG TIME. Hard to compete with other automation companies like Automation Direct, Red Lion, Omron, Maple, etc...when your products aren't up to par with their features. - Speaking of quality, I am not sure if the testing protocol needs to be changed, but this is one of the biggest issues here. You might sell 10 HMIs or PLCs and 3-5 of them will come back with defects. It's very frustrating to bring on a brand new customer, only for them to leave in a year because product doesn't work. If you want to gain 5 new customers and lose 10 and run your business that way go ahead I guess... - The "professional" training left a little to be desired. - The owner runs the show, including sales and customer service departments. He is a very talented engineer, but his people and marketing skills are lacking. He doesn't know how to treat employees with respect. - Mandatory 50 hour work week. Honestly this would be just fine typically, but the pay doesn't match up.
