a lousy place to work, INSTRUMENT TECHS AVOID THIS PLACE!
Instrument Technician (Former Employee), Atlanta, GA – April 5, 2013
Pros: pay
Cons: hours, environment, management
First:
lousy management
second:
lousy environment
If you are applying as an instrument tech, keep looking,
you'll unplug pipes, bust up concrete, stand outside in the rain, and do plumbing, and be abused. I worked there approx. three months.First month on days, which was ok, not great ,but ok, i did "some" instrument work. However, when the need for – more... shift coverage came about, i was forced to be a shift mechanic, and did no instrument work while on nights, forced to work out in the rain, not even offered a raincoat. I saw other people sleeping on the job, and smoking in the building, and this was apparently ok.
So, if you dont mind abuse, misuse, and a very rough and nasty environment, maybe this place is for you. But;
if you are a skilled instrument tech, move along, you are wasting your time here. The pay is great, but thats all, and money isnt everything. If you worked at nights covering as a shift mechanic instead of being an instrument tech , as your job description states, then after 2 years you would have fallen behind in your career field. Some of the guys in Maintenance were ok to work with. However I think most are unhappy, and only work there because the money is good.
HERE IS A FACT:
I was let go on my 89th day of 90 day probation period, without warning, (WHICH WAS DIRTY, IN MY OPINION) I was never even talked to about my "BAD ATTITUDE" which is the excuse they gave for letting me go , on the very last day of my probation. ASK MY CO WORKERS, I DID MY JOB< AND I WAS GOOD. I DID COMPLAIN ABOUT THE DAILY UNPLUGGING OF PIPES OUTSIDE, INSTEAD OF SOLVING THE PROBLEM, IF YOU CALL THAT A BAD ATTITUDE< THEN I AM GUILTY. HOWEVER;
I WAS NEVER OUT, NEVER LATE, and DID EVERY TASK EXPERTLY< AND QUICKLY< ASK MY CO WORKERS.
So:
draw your own conclusion! – less

Pros: they threw many paid lunch days were lunch was catered in

A typical work day here was and enjoyable one.. iv learned a lot of work ethics at this place. being a line leader and A operator taught me the do's and dont's of being in the position of leadership.The management in this company was very well organized. my coworkers were a joy to work with wit the occasional exceptions. the hardest part of the day – more... was when there would be a problem with any machine that may occure – less

Great Company!
Technical Manager (Current Employee), Houston – November 5, 2012
Pros: good poeple to work with, good communication
Cons: business is not stable.
Great culture! The people are easy to work with and the culture is accepting of changes. Business is very "up and down" and affected by housing starts. The job is a good one and works closly with the operations manager and continuous improvement department.
