Pros

I guess the benefits package is competitive when compared to other companies.

Cons

I cannot figure out how this company is still making money (North America), the company is poorly run on a day-to-day basis and I don't see any corporate vision about what Atlas is doing to remain competitive. Departments don't work together, many people seem like they don't know how to function in their roles and the people that do try to adapt to the changes in the industry quickly get shut down by management. I don't know how this place makes any money, its run like a free for all. Some people are very incapable in their roles and it's troubling that nothing is done to improve the situation. Location of their offices is also somewhat strange, as their not near any major metro area (may explain the lack of ability to attract new hires). I really wish things would change, as there is so much money and potential to be had and made, they just need proper leadership and management. The corporate propaganda you watch makes you think you're working for a different company vs what you'll see on a daily basis.

Pros

Good company, good culture overall

Cons

Pay could be less than the market, though not too low. Work life balance does cover some of that gap

Pros

Coworkers are great Many problems so you stay busy as a CI person The people at the worker bee level are the only real pro

Cons

Managers are too “wise” You can’t change anything inside the ERP but they all want ERP changes (it’s bad you will get frustrated) Super decentralized meaning all building operate how they want to. They make it sound like a strength but it’s literally their biggest weakness. Managers do not understand processes USZ or the NSC in Charlotte has a serious issue of hiring people who are not qualified for manager roles as managers. Discrimination They care more about how you look and not so much about the work you produce
