ASC Process Systems

As a mechanical engineer at ASC, you are the hub, and the departments are the spokes. You will work closely with, and be held accountable for, very nearly every department in the company.

The upside to this is that you will gain an absurd amount of real-world, marketable experience in a ridiculously short amount of time, ranging across an extensive list of disciplines, from design, to manufacturing, to project management, to quality control, to bookkeeping, to sales, etc., etc., etc.

You will also acquire a whole laundry list of soft skills you never knew you were missing, like time management, organization, people skills, leadership, being alpha, having a split personality (simultaneously pursuing conflicting goals as an engineer and a project manager), and stress management. Your new experience and skills will look great on your resume when you inevitably start looking for a new job.

Best of all, the ME department (average age roughly 26) has a great subculture of friendliness, openness, and helpfulness, which is bolstered by the sense of brotherhood forged through shared hardships.

Sadly, the inherently high stress of this fast-paced work environment is multiplied to insanity by the aggressive, overbearing styles of a few key individuals in management. I will not go into specifics except to mention that precious few engineers last even 3 years, and that I could cite several examples of individuals crying in bathrooms and visiting therapists as a result of their time at ASC.

To management, my advice would be to take exit interview responses very, very seriously, as they are universally and dramatically understated to avoid "burning bridges."

To prospective employees, I would strongly recommend contacting current employees through a certain popular networking website and asking probing questions. They all have really great, positive attitudes, so they will not open with the juicy stuff.

The facilities are quite nice as are most of the people that work here.  The first thing you'll figure out is that those that have worked here for a long time have stayed because they have been quiet about the bad things and are able to just keep their nose down and move things from their in basket to the out basket.  They know not to make waves or ask questions.  As a result, by swallowing pride and sacrificing their integrity, they are rewarded with a compensation level that they can not get anyplace else.  As a result, of becoming the puppet of the ownership, they have them where they want them.  If you're comfortable as a lemmings or being a "yes" person no mater how wrong yo think something is, then this is the place for you.  The result is that there is a high turnover in engineering with only a few staying until they can find a better place.  They do have a lot of good engineering tools that will help your resume.

If you are that yes person then you to can earn a good wage and have decent benefits while working your butt off.  Your call.

If you are going in as a hands on worker (welder, electrician, Q.C., fabricator) this job will not care about anything besides why isn’t your work being done faster. There is clear favoritism between the office workers and the guys and girls in the shop and it’s the office workers who are favorited. I’ll admit I learned some very useful skills there as a fabricator and loved the work I did but management made it miserable for me. I brought in a welding certificate to them and they didn’t care and give it a thought so those won’t help you either. Nepotism was huge while I was there as well. They start you off on a lower pay because they train you but then the pay barely goes up from there. 0/10 job in my opinion.  

Working as a welder for the company was an okay experience overall. The job itself was straightforward—welding components according to blueprints, ensuring quality control, and maintaining safety standards. The pay was decent, and the benefits were standard, but nothing exceptional. The work environment was manageable, though it could get monotonous at times.

The management was hit or miss; some supervisors were supportive and knowledgeable, while others lacked communication skills, making certain tasks more frustrating than necessary. The coworkers were generally friendly, and teamwork was encouraged, but there were occasional conflicts due to miscommunication or workload distribution.

I realize good jobs in the manufacturing field are hard to come by, yet that doesn't forgive the shortcomings with management. As well as most notable the small things they do to try to seem like a good employer, considering they just dropped the 401k 50% and they are always short handed on the production line. Those few things say to me that the owners have made their money and are content with sliding by when the company could be so much more. If you want a good career don't sell yourself short and if they don't offer you enough remember you work to live not vice versa.

I worked here for about half a year. I’m on the younger side and they taught me a lot with they’re training. Although the first 3 months were fairly easy, once you get into the “shop floor” it’s nothing like training. The managers and the supervisors push you to work above and beyond with a bad pay. They expect you to be a “team player” but they don’t want you to stop what your doing to help someone that needs it. They put a timeline on every assignment but don’t seem to push the people in the inventory cage to supply you with the essentials/ material. The whole shop is a mess and the manager is Power hungry!

What is the best part of working at the company?
Safety environment . They have a Gym and chill out room you can hangout in. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
At the beginning I would say, the clocking out part because you’re supposed to enter in what job you did for the day and every one wants to head home so it’s a lil stressful at first not knowing the system. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Family friendly, safety, and fast paced. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Fun, exciting, and the days go by quick.

Withdrawing the employment offer to an employee at the last minute (close to the joining date ) highly suggests the indecisiveness on the part of senior management. 

Honestly , it is strongly suggestive to undertake an active manpower planning before the commencement of the accounting year which should strongly be inclined with the vision goals and objectives of company . 

Had the management done so , it would have cut down on the precious time of the company which has  been wasted on recruiting for the particular position and at the same time would have cut down on my wasteful cost too .

At first I was excited for the opportunity to work at ASC. It was a great learning experience for a few years and we had a positive and inviting atmosphere. Then the orders started piling up and production sped up as well. Along with that included increasing amounts of toxicity from upper management. Many from my department started leaving due to stress and growing toxic relationships between the workers and management. They mass fired electricians, mechanics, and engineers with no prior warning. 2 years ago I would say go for it, but now I say proceed with caution.

When you first start it will be great until you start traveling that’s a must or you won’t be around long. They also lay-off and and have a buddy system. They will not keep their word for you to rehire You also will be traveling god knows where, and if the Forman you’re traveling with has any issues you. You will not be included in the meeting to make a situation better regardless of your past experiences if you speak your mind as a responsible adult you will be accused of being negative and will be subject of being let go.
