Pros
-The benefits were awesome. Company matched 401k, affordable health insurance, and fair vacation policy. -Altec is a company that will be around for a long time. They are the main supplier of bucket trucks in the industry. -Wear many hats. Always a variety of work. Ever changing. If you're into that. -Good people. Most of the people are hard working and want to do their job well. -Pay. The pay was very good and comparable to other companies.
Cons
- Politics. It was absurd how certain people got preferred treatment. I knew of a time during a layoff when an excellent worker was cut in order for another person to take the job who had be responsible for the closing of three sister companies. - Instability. This is a predominately manufacturing company. As the economy tanks, so does Altec. I witnessed over 600 employees laid off during a year span. -Management. During a high level meeting, I witnessed a person being verbally harassed and bullied by another employee in front of their boss. No disciplinary actions were taken to resolve the issue.
