Pros

On the positive side, I made many great friends with the people I worked with directly. These are the people who truly deserve all of the credit and benefits for making this company what it is. Also, this may be a good, temporary stopping point for employment for someone just entering the workforce.

Cons

Contract maintenance and IT services. What more can I say? Do not plan on having a lifetime career with this company. If you are one of the best you will either leave at your own will or be let go. Do not stay until you are too old to get a job, because as you top out in your pay-scale, you will eventually be put out to pasture. Promotional opportunities have become more and more of fitting into the “good old boy” system. I truly always looked out for the best interest of the company, and made many sacrifices to become better at my job and to help prepare for a long future with ATS. If this is you, I would suggest not investing a lot of personal time doing this because you will only get burned out and then let go if you show too much desire to move up the ladder. Hiring managers are threatened of people like this.

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.
