What is the best part of working at the company?
Learning new things and all of the different parts and assemblies that make up transmissions. The consistency in the hours worked per week and the ability to get overtime hours. The benefits are competitive and the ability to grow your career within the company

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The high turnover rate and the machines ocassionlly breaking down

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is fairly laid back but there has to be teamwork in order to keep the line moving...as with any job there are bad actors who want to get paid but don't wnt to do any work nd it effects everyone. You will get dirty at tbis job and you have to Really focus on what you're doing so anyone who isn't sober would not be able to perform well and move up the ranks.. all in all a pretty laid back environment

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Clock in and go to briefing for your line then go to your asigned station and begin building or tearing down your part and moving It to the next station. Communication with line leads and peers is important and attention to detail Will keep things flowing. Two 15 minute breaks and.a 30 minute lunch.on site store/cafeteria is very convenient. At the end of the shift clean your station and get it ready for the next shift that comes in clock out and go home..hours rarely fluctuate at all and its very routine and consistent..bi weekly paychecks and the ability to take an advance if needed.

The job isn’t bad. The temps during summer is do able. AC may work but u can’t hardly feel it. They will train you. Buuut THEY DO NOT APPRECIATE ANYTHING YOU DO THERE. PERIOD. You start so early you have no life outside work. And even though you commit to that life and schedule it’s not appreciated by the higher ups. Your immediate supervisor may express appreciation but it probably won’t go any further than that conversation there between us. If you work really hard and show how valuable you are to that job/line then you probably just make it worse for your self because then your locked in to working that hard for that pay doing that job. Forget moving around. You get blackballed because they “NEED” you where you are. Of course they don’t want to let you move off their line. You get ONE raise each year. No matter how hard you work, no matter if you’re never late. Not one day. No matter how many stations you get “certified “on, your raise will most definitely be less than 40cents. It’s a joke.

Management is satisfied with unorganized low to no productivity employees. No thought on improving the work conditions. NEW Parts are staged outside in all weather conditions so the associates that DO work must go outside to find parts that are in no particular order just unloaded off the trailer as is. Who knows if parts have been added into inventory (received).There are rusted parts from 2011 that will never be used and will never be moved to bring in the parts that are actually needed from outside. The leads have been there 20+ years and do not want the new people to make them look bad so they do not train them correctly or deliberately train them wrong. 1st shift hides in areas to sleep or just disappears and gossip about other shifts and what other shifts dont get done, when other shifts are cleaning up behind them as well as picking up the slack from 1st shift. The leads set you up for failure even going out of their way to undo something that has been correctly done to call you out saying you did t do it correctly or at all. The hole warehouse is a mess, from management, leads, bins, equipment even the nasty fridge. 

First of all the pay is misleading. Everyone starts at $14hr. If you’re 1 min later or an 1hour you’re getting an attendance point. I was excited to work this job due to the “set hours” that’s a lie. They will change your schedule minutes before clocking out. 
Right off the bat it was 5:30am-3:30pm Monday-Saturday. They’re currently doing 6am-4pm Monday-Friday and 6am-2:30 every Saturday till the end of November. Then possibly all the way till January. Unless you want to work 6 days a week then apply. Sometimes they mandate OT for everyone but let certain people go home and make you stay. It’s hard to watch coworkers get to leave while you have to stay. Also it’s very strict. You have to ask to leave your area, sign out when you go to the bathroom and sign back in. You are not allowed go to the drink station unless you are on your 10 min break or 30 min lunch. Horrible place to work if you expect to be treated like an adult 

What is the best part of working at the company?
First it was the hours but then they started decreasing it.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
When there is a problem with co-workers such as bad attitudes and there is no team work and it’s reported; nothing is done because it continues and your the bad one for reporting. All team leaders and supervisors don’t mind some of their favorites to stand around and talk, some have excessive tardiness and missed days and still keep their job while others get fired. Forget quality of work,  it’s not there , you see too much and don’t even want others to purchase from this company. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Smell (breathing toxic fumes?), some PPE is not provided so you have to get your own, floor is slick from transmission fluid. What culture? It’s posted but not carried out. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful; hoping that day would change and be productive alongside with quality.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Feeling valued, being part of a global team, and a long-term culture of stability.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Managing deadlines and expectations. Management's willingness to listen helps offset this, though much of it is connected to the end customer which can be demanding at times. Successfully navigating these challenges can provide opportunities for growth.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Goal oriented, structured, can be fragmented between departments with respect to processes to an extent but a strong overall sense of teamwork. Each program is locally managed providing good efficiency. 
There's also a strong sense of importance of the family and balanced work/life. Working hard is recognized and met with both opportunities to contribute and flexibility when personal life demands it.

a typical day my job is to inspect product to ensure quality and production.
I've learned to work as a team and pay close attention to my safety and my team safety according to OSHA and plant regulations.
Management team is very helpful and care about our concerns and ideas for a better workplace.
My co-workers are not just co-workers but a extended family. We work well together solve our problems together which produces quality work and we care about what we do.
The hardest part for me is loving what I do and the people I work with, but knowing I need more money and advancement to reach my goals for myself and my family.
the best part is working with my hands, being involved in decision making and the finish product

I took a chance with ATC and while it's bittersweet, I think overall I wouldn't recommend coming here. At least as a manufacturing engineer. Other engineering departments have down-to-earth and relaxed managers. Test engineers have it best, Product engineers travel to Tennessee somewhat often, and manufacturing engineers have to stay busy every waking moment they're there. Weekend work is expected about every 6 weeks or so. It's hard to catch a break sometimes here. I think the most succinct way to put it is that my manager didn't know the phrase "Work-Life Balance" when I asked him about it in my first interview. Really dirty bathrooms and cluttered dirty office. Very little to no young people here. I basically went from being pretty good friends with my coworkers at my last job to having very few here. Not a great culture or one that's welcoming and supporitive.  

Work-life balance

Overall

Nothing about this company functions the way it was intended and that is largely due, to the good old boy system, of management in place, at all facilities.
The management ordered 6 months worth of additional parts without a plan in place to store or process the extra volume, and then wanted to blame the lead, for allowing it to get backed up.  The sister facility known as ALC is the primary reason for their inventory discrepancies, which has been proven over and over again. However management's solution is to write up workers at the receiving dock, for not locating and correcting these daily errors. They under pay because they mostly hire felons. Some of these are people still serving time in prison.
