Amtec

Typical day began with calls/texts/emails from OEM facilities as early as 4:30 am.  After arriving to the facility by 8 am, 50% of each day would be spent in meetings or on conference calls to resolve new or ongoing issues supporting multiple contracts. 35% of the day spent on keeping up with e-mail traffic on multiple programs and responding to immediate concerns.  Last 35% of each day spent on updating ongoing project documentation and supporting quality, manufacturing, piece part and ballistic facility issues. (Math is correct - 120% of time was expected each day). Due to budget constraints phone/computer equipment/software was falling behind industry norms. Because of this, employees were not using current hardware.  Management is trying to keep the business alive amidst changing USG ammunition forecasts.  Co-workers are mostly riding their present positions out; many have not worked in other industries. Hardest portion of the job was not being kept in the loop on technical issues in a timely fashion - details were forwarded to me only after my manager found I had not been included to proper e-mail distribution as needed. This happened daily.  Got to deal with very professional entities at many different facilities and in many states.  Other outside companies that I dealt with directly on certain contracts were very pleased with my technical expertise and program management abilities.

This was a company that reached out to my job recruiter and told him that someone like me, (over 10yrs of Telecommunication experience) would make no less than $750 a week. However the problems I came across was solely with management, and how they handled any & all daily paperwork that was handed into them. 
* You arrive at work and wait for a route.
* You receive all appropriate equipment to perform installs. 
* Upon completion of installs & trouble calls, you have the customer sign the necessary paperwork to show what work has been done, and what equipment has been used on the call. 
* End of the day, you hand in all unused equipment, and finalized paperwork to management so that your daily pay could tabulated.
(The compensation was Piece Work over Pay Per Hour.) In other words, the work you performed & and the items used needed to total more than what you would be paid at the rate of $7.75hr. 
Ten Times out of Ten, I was paid an hourly rate of $7.75hr for work that warranted $14 -- $18.25Hr, instead of what I actually made when I added all of the day's work together.
At the end of the day, it was a horrible experience working for that company.

As a contactor, I would not recommend working under ATMEC. After learning the provided information from HR, you will not accrue any PTO or Holiday pay. You only recur five days of sick pay. Health and Dental insurance will not be provided until after 1 year under the company. Communication will be delayed if you reach out directly to management, however; they are urgent to reach out to you quickly. If you do decide to work for ATMEC as contactor, specifically under engineering or business, I would recommend to temporarily work there between 3-6 months.

Well, each day comes with it's own set of rules,so to answer your question ❓ all good and. Ok..

A typical day at work is quiet, clean, until a difficult customer inquiry stirs you to action. I learned to listen to the customer. The management is very generous, and the co-workers could be considered trendy intellectuals. The hardest part of the job is acquiring enough information in time to give the best advice. The most enjoyable part of the job is a completely satisfied customer which is not determined until long after the customer experience.

It was early to work before 7am. It was also a 7 day schedule. I learned getting the TV channels and internet running perfect, was a lot more than expected. One have to use their experience and head to get the job done right. I didn't care much for taking out the long ladder every time to go up the high wire. At lease, the customers were please and thankful at the time of the finished job.

Amtec is a great place to work... I enjoyed the team environment and always felt like my voice was heard.
The owner and the top level team leaders are very accessible and willing to listen, as well as coach and encourage.
They have a very high level of integrity that I find is very unusual now-a-days.

I enjoyed AMTEC while I was there. Lots of very nice people. Most supervisors were understanding and helpful. I left for better pay. At the time I was there the pay was horrible. I also ended up with one of the few supervisors who reaked so bad of favoritism you could smell it a block away.

Very nice environment with many new tasks for a person thats eager to learn and better themselves. Never a dull day, there is always a new design or a new build that you might team up on or get to build on your own. Opportunity to row advance is available but you have to stay the course and remain vigilant to the mondain work at times.
