Everything about the in-house janitor position at their Athens, Georgia location has been outsourced to external janitorial companies. The in-house position was closed (likely due to budget cuts, but that is healthy speculation).

The typical day starts with restocking your janitorial cart and immediately getting to work cleaning industrial workshop restrooms. You might have time to spray disinfectant on frequently touched surfaces in addition to stocking soaps, papers, and sweeping. Deep cleaning was only performed if/when there was time (not often, since the workload was for at least three people's physical jobs). Time management was essential to get even half of the work expected finished; most days the cleanings alternated between what could be done in the time available. Any janitorial tool or machine maintenance/upkeep/repairs had to be done in overtime, due to time constraints.

There was maybe 5 minutes' inexperienced training on a different style of floor buffer than what floor scrubber was eventually in use. Every part of the position was a trial-by-fire learning experience to improve efficiency toward 50% of the duties being accomplished regularly. The duties required daily rotation to achieve closer to 60%-70% completion--completing everything requested in a single shift was impossible without going beyond 40 hours into overtime (up to 48hrs/week before upper management would pay attention).

The company will absolutely replace you if the budget can benefit. You are not special, no matter what Human Resources tells you in "lying by omission"--be specific when asking questions, and remember that every HR is there for the company, not you!

The last of the 4 managers I had in my 10 months was the best of my working career. I would have stayed if only for being under that manager, if either of us had any say in the matter.

The best part of the job was being paid more than my family needed at the time and having medical/dental/vision/AD&D/life insurance.
The worst part was having my personal safety threatened by other employees, and people with no clue of the job's duties trying to weigh in about how and when I should do my job. Also, asking for help over 3-6 months to only be replaced.

my almost a year there was a transitional time for the company. the company that bought mccann is accurus, one of those hedgefund groups that are buying several machining plants in north america. because of this i feel that i wasnt given the opportunitys that were offered to me when i hired on. i worked in maintenance pretty much working on the cnc milling machines that cut the parts from aluminum, steel, and titanium. it started out going ok day to day, for about a month or so, learning as much as possible from the experienced maintenance guys i worked around. without explanation or reason i was moved around doing small and simple tasks for the most of my time there. i started seeing the ones that have all the control in there like to be sucked up to and have there ego petted on a daily basis. i started looking for a different job in the same type work 3 months into the job. my point is when something got said about me possibly leaving finally, they picked me apart and eventually run me away.

So arriving to this place I was met with an overwhelming sensation of accomplishment the building looks so nice well kept a real place to work out my last days till retirement the interviewing process was easy and yet I had an uneasy feeling I disregarded it and figured it was just new job nerves and continued with the interviewing process  the hr rep. Was very nice and informative about everything but.....the... actual job in which she was oblivious to needing constant assistance from someone else which is a breach in confidentiality waiting to happen...my first day of work I suffered from heat exhaustion there's no ac and no money to compensate for such hazard work environments if you like to work hard and sweat all day without  having a feeling of really accomplishing anything this is the place for you the sole success of this company has been carried on the backs of a few good machinsts.

Unless you are part of the "buddy system" you really have no chance of moving up or succeeding.  The communication is terrible.  When they do communicate, it's usually what they think you want to hear.  They make promises they don't intend to deliver on.  Don't be too good at your job, you'll never go anywhere else.  Some members of management have absolutely no clue what they are doing.  They enable bad behavior and bad workmanship.  I never understood keeping people who do nothing and laying off those who work hard.  Keeping some because of who they are dating or related to.  Especially when they laid off most of the company.  The health ins. is terrible.  Not cost effective at all.  You are basically working to pay for it.  On the upside, the co-workers were great and made going to work a pleasure.

I have worked at Accurus Aerospace Tulsa and am now at Accurus Aerospace Wichita. My experience has been great at both locations and I have been given advancement opportunities that wouldn't be an option at larger companies. I feel that I am a valued employee and genuinely like the people that I work with. We continue to grow and make improvements along the way. It is a fast-paced environment, but I still feel that I am able to have good work/life balance. I feel that I have a bright future with Accurus Aerospace Corporation and that I will continue to have advancement and growth opportunities.

Was better before new management came... President, plant manager, programmers, all management are BUDDY SYSTEMS. Advancement positions was not a given choice since all new hire employees got the advancement when hired cause of buddy system. Pay rate is bad if you weren't from a certain place, especially employees who have worked for years are under paid and treated like disposable trash bags. Hours put in for the sake of the company and their goals and still not enough, always more. Employees that actually do care for the company are mostly gone and/or demoted without reasonable explanations. Just a good place for experience, get it and leave before you end up hating the place even more.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The company is flexible when it comes to personal issues outside of the job.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The income. You can work as many hours as you like. But it's extremely hard to get a raise 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It's somewhat self paced. They don't want you to rush but they want to to get the job done in an efficient amount of time. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Basic routine. Come to work. Clock in on your work order and/or machines depending on how many you run. Unless you have a new setup to run that's about it

A typical day was always busy. Had to start out running and work quickly under a fair amount of pressure. Always had deadlines to meet. 
I learned facets of departments in the shop. I learned how to prioritize and maintain a strict schedule to meet deadlines.
The culture was mostly positive. The hardest part of the job was balancing family time with work, a there is a high demand to meet deadlines. 
The most enjoyable part was staying busy all of the time and feeling like a part of a great company.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Leaving. After two years and a pay cut, I decided enough was enough.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Micro managing bosses that don't understand basic processes.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Cut-throat. Whiners and tattle -tales that distract from their own problems climb quickly.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Build tools within aerospace tolerances in record time while being yelled at and stared at.

A typical work day is 12 hours and is long and drug out. As far as the machining process goes, everything is laid out for you to do the job. Tools are built for you and delivered to the machine. So once you set up the machine, and check your tools in, just follow the operator book and you are set! Learning is not an issue due to the leisure time from the long running parts, any questions you may have you can ask someone any time.

The hardest part of the job is coming in behind someone other than yourself and trying to pick up where they left off.
