Horrible Company to work for

Pros

I was close to home

Cons

Nothing good about this company. They took a profitable family owned company and turn it into hell. All upper management is concerned about is that all mighty dollar and how much they can make.

Look elsewhere

Pros

Like everywhere there are people that genuinely care.

Cons

There's a stark disconnect between Atkore's packaged culture and the lived experience in the field, where it has zero impact. If you were to invert their core values, you'd arrive at a more accurate picture of the company. It's a consultant's dream – a place where strategies, continuous improvement programs, and even core values feel entirely fabricated. The sales-centric leadership fosters a pattern of overpromising to customers and failing to deliver, leading to predictable frustration. Inevitably, when issues arise, individuals are unfairly targeted without evidence. If you're a high-achiever seeking a challenging and growth-oriented environment, you might want to look elsewhere. This could be a suitable landing spot if your primary focus is short-term income. The company is Boomer heavy and toxic. The closer you get to Harvey to more toxic it gets. Be aware that the company's apparent success was largely due to the unique circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, and those tailwinds have since disappeared.

Same Corporate Story

Pros

There are some very bright, smart young talented people working for them. Great co-workers and good pay for some.

Cons

Very slow organizational procedures. Too may cooks in the kitchen resulting in a lot of waste even though they practice lean procedures. Very outdated corporate strategy. Unfortunately, corporate does not follow what they claim are Atkore's "Values".
