Pros

There are no reasons to work at ATS Secured. Casual dress code, having a beer at the company meeting on Friday afternoon, occasional company-provided snacks, and the illusion of flexible scheduling can not make up for the toxicity that exists in this workplace.

Cons

Passive aggressive, micromanaging, gossipy HR person Flexible hours are not really flexible Terrible pay Minimal PTO/Sick time No mentorship Sexism Favoritism While working at ATS Secured, I was told to "be more positive" after discussing serious concerns regarding the lack of requirements and resources that my team needed to do our job. The HR person called me a "freak" for reasons that are still unclear to me. I was repeatedly given unrealistic deadlines and expected to do work that I did not have the knowledge or experience to successfully implement, and yet my team and I were given no resources or mentorship to foster our growth. After working at ATS for nearly 11 months, my sister-in-law unexpectedly passed away. I was given no bereavement. I was allowed to take my one remaining "floating holiday" to attend the funeral, but the day that she died I let my team lead know that I would be working from home. I had not been planning to work from home, so I did not have my work computer with me. Thankfully, I was able to access what I needed from my personal computer. Instead of receiving condolences when I returned to work, I was greeted with suspicion because HR suspected me of skipping out on work since I left my computer at my desk. The only good people left at this company are either blind, trapped, or are holding onto some last shreds of hope that the rest of us cannot see.

Pros

I try to get the other reviews here but I don't understand some of them. This is a fun company to work at. Management values employees and families right up there with the work that we do. We are revolutionizing the industry with what we are creating and in that process there will be hurt people. There will also be people that don't agree with methods, technologies, or a myriad of other things, but that's the same at every company out there. Employees question things, discussion ensues, changes are/are not made depending, and that is kind of how things improve. The new location downtown, once fully renovated, will be an amazing showcase of what a great Tech Company in Omaha can look like.

Cons

Staffing is short, but that is by design, and makes it not only challenging but fun.
