I would start the day off with a meeting with my guys to go over the days units coming in and what needed to be done.  The next part would be to check with the main office in Tulsa to coordinated getting equipment that need to be dismantled so that I could determine root cause of failure of equipment.  This included setting schedule for customer witnessed dismantles with chemical tests on foreign material found within the units to help with chemical treatment and prolong run-life within each specific well.  I would help with development team to come up with solutions to failures common in my region.  I was able to have to trouble shoot logistical problems being a new company this was common. I learned how to prevent problems before they happened to insure the best product and service for our customers. Management was knowledgeable but sometimes hard to coordinate with being that the home office was in Tulsa and were not able to see the problems we faced locally.  The management improved after changes were made later on.  My co-workers were overall very hard working knowable and positive.  The hardest part of the job was the fact we were under staffed and had to do multiple jobs that we were not hired to do such as I was also the on-call welder and back up shipping coordinate for a time of 3 months but nothing that was to hard to get through.  The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to make a difference in saving money for the company be foreseeing and diagnosing problems,  I was very happy with my co-workers who I can call my friends and being able to interact with the customer face to face to implement a game plan on how to chemically treat the wells, properly size the units, and recommend what needs to be added or taken away from equipment used down hole and on the surface.  I enjoyed this part of the job most of all because its solving problems.  I also enjoyed meeting new people.

Accelerated Inc. in Forest Park, GA is one of the most disorganized and unprofessional workplaces I’ve ever experienced. Leadership lacks structure, accountability, and communication. There is no clear training process, no consistency in expectations, and no support for employees trying to do their jobs successfully.

Management appears disengaged and unprepared to lead, and the culture reflects that. Tasks are pushed onto employees without guidance, standards constantly shift, and there is little to no teamwork or organization. Instead of constructive feedback, the norm is avoidance, inconsistency, and an overall lack of respect for the people doing the work.

I’ve never felt compelled to leave a review for a workplace before, but this one deserves transparency. If you value professionalism, leadership, and a healthy work environment, I would highly recommend seeking employment elsewhere.

What is the best part of working at the company?
There is none, no raises, owner doesn’t appreciate his workers, underpaid, if you’re sick and you can’t come to work you’ll be fired so beware. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No raises, only a week of PTO, no order, they don’t care about you being sick, management will call and tattle to corporate if you are and get the entire office fired, even IF the reason everyone got sick was due to the owner visiting while sick himself. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Unorganized and unprofessional 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It varies day to day. Depending on the work load and the mood of management.

Overall probably the worst job I’ve had period. Terminal manager is a micromanager who loves to throw his employees under the bus and play with there job security. On four occasions all back to back I was made fully load a trailer to then have to strip and unload it to put other items in. One of the occasions he stood there and watched as I nearly completed the trailer to then change his mind about how he wanted the load to go. I took one big order out and swapped it for another and he had the guts  had my supervisor tell me because he wasn’t man enough to tell me himself. Long hours of work with no overtime pay. No holiday pay even when they say they offer holiday pay. They have a high turnover rate and he’s mostly the problem.

First off the management and culture here is atrocious, they are a good ol boy small time company from TN that is micro managed from TN.  There is little to no COMMUNICATION, people are simply trying to cover their backsides to avoid being fired (which is threatened all the time).  They do not maintain equipment, and there is no safety department to speak of.... I would NOT recommend this company unless you are almost homeless, going through a divorce and need the money.  Also, the Owners Son golfs all the time and is bragging about trying to sell the company to Forward Air any chance he gets...

Work on pressure vessel designs, run calculations from customer specs to generate 3D models from compress to inventor. Turn 3D models into 2D prints fabricated in the shop. Very skilled supervisors co-workers.
The hardest but most enjoyable part of the job was recieving new vessel designs and making them work.
