Applus is a disaster!

Ndt technician

Business Outlook

Pros

A select few techs are great to work with, and knowledgeable. There were very few I trusted to teach me correctly. Option for overtime if you want it.

Cons

Applus is reactive and not proactive. Management is rediculous, and not hands on. The talking behind each others back by adult men, is a cinstant issue.. The drama, constant rumors, and "cliques" make it feel like high school. The amount of "firings" and not much feedback has everyone on edge and worried about their jobs. The pay was rediculous, and it took 6 guys quitting, before coporate finally decided to give everyone raises. Getting answers about literally anything from raises, to upcoming training, and ordering equipment is like pulling teeth and gets nowhere. Word on the street is its only getting worse. I am 100% happy that I left, and the drama, egos, and unstable conditions are behind me.

Pros

I worked as a Weld Inspector where you go from location to location as each job ends. They were always helpful in finding new jobs to start. Very together group. Would work for them again in a blink.

Lack of Big Picture Mentality

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Some of the employees are great to work with.

Cons

Senior Management would rather dictate instead of support and offer guidance to their employees. They tell us that we need to find ways to reduce costs but refuse to listen to employees who have ideas on how to do that. They would rather let people go or cause so much stress that you have to find a new job. It feels that the mentality within the US organization lacks common sense and has no sense of what the "Big Picture" is. If they were to step back and respect their employees enough see what each one has to offer, it would build up the company based on the values that should be followed. Unlike the current feeling of always looking over your shoulder for the next person to try and run you over with a bus. In addition, Senior Management shows favoritism causing an unhealthy work environment.
