I started working here because the company offered a weekend shift and that lined up great with my school schedule.  I began working at the Chandler location as packaging. My supervisors and leads there were great, I never once had a problem. Eventually the weekend shift there ended and we relocated  to the Morelos factory in Mesa. The breaks there were shorter than what we received at the past location. I ended up getting promoted to machine Operator, which can be a tough job but fulfilling. I was told that the pay increase wouldn't increase until later on. I worked that job and learned it pretty well, kept the machine running most of the day without a single problem. After 4 months of talking to my supervisor and H.R and being told that I'd have to wait longer for the pay increase I quit. If you're going to work for this company just stay away from the Morelos factory, choose to work at the other locations they're much more organized and empathetic towards their employees.

My time at ANS often led to extreme amounts of stress. The entire company was understaffed at my time of employment, which led to a negative work environment as everybody felt overworked. At one point during my time at ANS, upper management had to ask office staff to help out in the warehouse because they did not have enough employees to complete orders on time. My co-workers often felt that they had to work 50+ hours a week to avoid getting reprimanded for things not being done on time. 
The turnover at this company is the worst I have ever seen. In the first few months I was there I knew at least 4 employees (in a small department) that quit. We were all underpaid as well. The Lab Technicians started out at $15/hr despite having 4-year degrees and working tirelessly. I got paid less than that and did not receive a raise when I was pushed into a position that required leadership. 
I did have some good times at ANS, but overall I would not recommend working there.

To start the day the the work floor was walked to view the status of work needing to be done. The employees were then instructed or guided to do there job duties depending if there was issues needing fixing or if the work was in standers to perform the normal job functions. I have learned the importance of time management, organization, quality, problem solving, and good leadership to keep a healthy work environment. The hardest part about the job was the demand for sale orders. The production request was high and the capacity or machinery to achieve the goals for completion was directed to certain machinery. It was overwhelming having to work excessive hours to complete work demand both for supervisor and operator employees. The most enjoyable part about the work was the employees good personality and work ethic.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Sh*thole - don't waste your time or energy.  Revolving door of senior leadership in and out.  Zero accountabililty or professionalism and it shows in its employees.  HR is a real joke.  Uncoachable and entitled junior staff that has zero experience to show off. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
unprofitable and blaming each other

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
M-F in office 7am-6pm expectations with zero flexibility.  Folks are miserable 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
in office 7am until 6pm every single day.  expected to work as though it's a big company, but is not

Like I said it was a great place to work, good to great management.  Unloading raw materials for receiving. Daily communication with Team Leader to ensure the flow of work meets the demands of our internal customer base. 
Help maintain the MATERIAL REJECTION and QC, locations to ensure proper inventory management.
you had to have good computer skills for moving, tracking and locating parts and material, additionally the ability to research and retrieve supplier/customer resources and requirements as needed.

As a machine operator your goal is to produce. Expect to be in a room for 10 hours. Very brain dead job when producing. Stressful when the machine starts to act up. The operator is not the problem in this company. The company does not reinvest its own money into new machines or equipment. So we basically keep the machines running on miracles. Everyday a machine is running it’s a miracle, because the operator needs to find everything. And the company does not see that. 

it is a very repetative job doing mostly the same thing you did the day before. what i liked about this job is that i was in both weigh up and mixing department so i would jump back and fourth and the day would never drag on. working 10 hour shifts monday through thursday with overtime on the weekends you see these faces more then you see your family so you need to have a good relationship with you bosses and supervisors. the co workers were really nice and always helped one another, it was like another family away from home.

Decent company to work for, like I said company has been laying off people in the past year or so. Production employees need to be treated better and payed better. The current head of operations does not look out after his employees, he simply cares about himself. There are employees that have been there for 10+ years and are barely earning above minimum wage. 

Highemployee turnover, it is rare for new employees to last over two years.

Promises of advancement with no follow through, if your friends with the right people you can move up even if a position needs to be made up. Hard work is abused and laziness is ignored again if you know the right people your work ethic means nothing. No communication so your always guessing on what needs to be done what has been done and if it was done right at all.
