AtriCure, Inc.

I worked for this company for 2 years.Stayed busy all day long,picking orders,restocking, forklift operating.The lady I worked with was fantastic,she busted her butt every day. We did the work of 3 people for the better part of the 2 years I was there. We were rarely thanked for our hard work and definitely not appreciated.  A simple comment from management about how much you are appreciated goes a long way. Dont look for it there. As for management, seriously they have way too many meetings and communication is lacking profusely. 
1 thing that really bothered me there was when it was nearing 3pm,which  was time for production to leave, there would be a huge line at the time clock waiting to clock out. No accountability at all. I saw this all the time and there would be people standing there for up to 10 minutes doing nothing. Nothing ever done or said about this.
A serious safety issue is that way too many people walk through there paying attention to there cell phones and not paying attention to what is going on around them.  One of these days there someone will get injured,possibly seriously if nothing is done about this.
A few of the good things are snack day and plenty of vacation time.  
A few of the bad are medical insurance isn't good. This was the only place I worked where I had to pay a surcharge to cover my wife because she could get her own insurance, but since I covered us I had to pay extra. Raises are pathetic, dont expect more than maybe 50 cent raises,even when going above expectations.  
I would not recommend this place as there are way too many things that could be done better but a deaf ear is turned to them!

The main office is great with it's many amenities and proximity to highways. The pace is very hectic and our resources have been thin for years. We're able to go outside for help with projects, but definitely could use more staff to manage day to day needs. This is said a lot across the teams. We have lots of bosses and not enough people to get the work done.

The hardest part is the different agendas by different departments. Everyone needs something and they need it now. (see not enough staff above) Communication between departments is poor, but I expect that at many organizations. 

We suffer from many, many, many meetings and not enough time to get to the work we meet about. Everything is a process or a new tool, things we can't seem to get to. This causes some after hours and weekend works. Lots of squirrel chasing.

All said and done, AtriCure does great at providing a great facility, pay, benefits and 95% of the people are great to work with.

This is a fantastic company to work for if you stay out of production or any department that directly deals with production. ie Quality inspections, packaging, production technicians. That department has too many "management" positions and not enough people that care about the associates. Micromanagement runs deep in that department with zero compassion. Outside of production, it's a totally different world and a great company to work for. Plenty of room for growth, schedules are amazing, teamwork is top notch, plenty of PTO, raises are pretty decent and they dont expect you to dedicate your entire life to the company. Atricure has good core beliefs but not for anyone in production. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Most definitely the people I’m surrounded by each day.  Our company treats us with the utmost respect and gratitude for our job performance.  We are constantly on the receiving end of rewards, fun activities and endless opportunities.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
You only create your own stress sorry non felt here while at work.  

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Our culture at work is very diverse.  You meet people from all walks of life.  Our work environment is engaging and upbeat.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Arriving early and a trip to the gym then on to begin my day.  A typical day is being busy and meeting deadlines  and reaching set goals for the day.

This company runs like a cult. Yes, the best work place thing sounds good, until you run into terrible management that’s overly pedantic and completely unqualified for their jobs, but you can’t say anything because they got the position from nepotism.

Also always watch your back here. The people will just make things up and start drama, and management calls it a rumor mill. What will they do about it? Jack all. Also if you have a disability, forget about it. The managers are not going to do anything. You will be carrying 80 ponds of plastic, while the day porters and managers act like it’s friendship time.

This company isn’t what it was in 2023. So I’d stay far away.

The CEO is a great guy and has brought the company the long way and is innovative and creative but there is very little communication between management and lower level staff.  There are a lot of VPs, Directors and managers and few people to get the actual work done.  There is little opportunity for advancement, as most positions are filled from outside.  The hardest part of the job is keeping up with the work load. The most enjoyable part of the job would be the ability to keep learning new skills as your job responsibilities continue to increase.  The raises are minimal but the basic benefits are fair.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The money , and helping others..Way to much OT. Too much she said he said conversation.  Kiss but or else, favoritism!  They don't care to hear what your dealing with...

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Too much OT spending too much time with same people and same job over and over...

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very diverse. Seems they hire many people who have only been in America for 8 years at tops...

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Depends how much you have been working , and what your doing

I worked in S/R with a couple of immature kids and a manager that was not much better.
The work was non stop from start of the shift to the end.
Coworkers were more interested in taking smoke breaks and playing with their cell phones than teaching new employees how the job was done.
Supervisor was more interested in making sure his "boys" were able to do what they wanted.
He never took complaints seriously.
HR was no help either.
Went to HR with a request to transfer out of the warehouse. While they were denying my request, they brought up that a complaint had been lodged against me just that very morning.
Bottom line, the boys got their way and I left

I have been with AtriCure for 1.5 years and the company is growing fast with some growing pains, but it is heading in the right direction. Management is employee focused, and they want to make the environment as enjoyable as possible. It is a very busy time for the company and growth is non-stop with limitations due to too much work and not enough people to get the job done. Over time this too will be resolved and it will be a fantastic company for any prospect employee to enjoy for decades to come.

Atricure continues to hire top level managers and to load more and more work on the few lower level positions.  The work loads increase and although responsibilities for lower level employees escalate, the raises are minimal.  Low level high achievers are not recognized or appreciated.  Many department heads are located in other states.  Communication is prevalent between managers and directors and executive staff but scarce from management down.  Advancement is almost non-existent as open positions are generally filled from outside.
