Not the Best - Production Technician ATI Employee Review

Normal hours, friendly management, great first internship!

i am really enjoying the internship so far

Interesting work with (some) hard workers. Serious place to get real experience. Salaried employees receive a large 401k match.

Place is held together by critical staff working much harder than others, but don't expect many raises. Annual adjustments do not match inflation. Managers do not understand technical skills that set their staff apart and struggle to argue for raises when asked, losing this talent within a few years. Experience always outranks expertise (helps to be old). HR/Operations collaborate to underpay their hourly staff, keeping process changes that affect incentive pay out of union negotiations for as long as possible. HR can barely run Salaried payroll and will threaten you if you question their math (even when they owe you money). HR refuses to address racism/white supremacy within their hourly workforce.
