Pros

Travel opportunities are abundant if you're into that. Some mid-level managers are pretty good, along with mid to lower level employees.

Cons

Senior management are all middle aged white men, need some diversity these days. People get selected for upper level positions that are mirror images of those in executive positions, they are VERY scared to promote and hire mid to high level employees that are different from themselves. They encourage and require all employees mid level and above to be "cheerleaders" and/or "salesmen". If you don't fit this bill you wont be around long unless you're on the factory floor. The reason is the product they sell is a bad buy, so corporate employees (all of them) have to be in constant sell mode so customers stick around and potential customers get persuaded into a contract they can't easily get out of. Also, this company is a union buster that goes into new maintenance contracts and fires the employees in that department then re-hires SOME of them to work for ATS, very bad business model for this day and age. Lots of animosity from customers they work next to day to day, making it a VERY difficult environment.

Pros

Great time to sell into the manufacturing sector related to productivity and equipment reliability.

Cons

Operational driven company but constantly changing the sales org and strategy. "Leaders" that have no background in business development or revenue generation responsible for sales strategy. Wasn't uncommon to report to a new leader or move sales territories multiple times in a year but quota never changed. Top performers are expected to do and sell more but additional financial upside was out of the question. A select group of legacy employees and "leaders" made decisions in a bubble in most cases. I was a top performer during my entire tenure at ATS. I agreed to work out a two week notice to help transition my accounts but was terminated after three days. No one in middle management, director, or exec-level roles asked for feedback or even made the time to send an email wishing me well or thanking me for my contributions during my five years with the company. In fact, my health insurance was terminated with no warning before I left the last day. My contributions and sacrifices for ATS meant so little to the company that they didn't care that my two small children wouldn't have insurance for over a month when I tried to leave the right way.
