Pros

You can screw around all day because nobody there cares what you do. Which is utterly ridiculous but hey. It's an upside I suppose.

Cons

Where do I start? Stagnant wages, which start off as lower than the industry averages anyhow, management barking orders and treating employees like garbage, and being made to feel like you are utterly worthless. When it comes to the other employees, there are many that are truly passionate and care for the company. They get beaten on by the owner and management. Plus, aside from those few employees, the entire place will stab you in the back if they get the opportunity. The entire shop is a bunch of two-faced liars. They go from being friendly to your face to insulting you beyond comprehension behind your back. The owners think everyone who walks in there can be replaced instantly, yet they replaced a manager several months after he retired with someone who has zero experience in the wire industry. They also haven't replaced the salesperson who wrote one of the other reviews. And if they do, it will probably be someone who has no idea what they are doing. The rules also only apply to whomever management feels like they should. What I mean by that is that some people can stand around talking to one another all day, while others get yelled at if they stop working for a few moments. The safety standards in this place are non-existent. They do not care if employees get hurt, and if they do they will tell the employee that the injury was no sustained on the job. You also cannot put in an advanced notice when you want to leave the company, you essentially have to quit. They will just fire you if you do put in a notice. In summation: poor wages, incompetent management, ownership that is only out for themselves, hazardous work environment, and no coworker companionship. Never work here.

Pros

The people that work here are approachable and well disposed. From the first day I walked through the doors until my last I was always greeted with smiling faces. Any time I had a problem or question I did not feel intimidated to speak up and ask for help. I learned life lessons from working here by talking to fellow employees.

Cons

Despite being welcomed with open arms, I was one of the youngest employees working there at the time. It would be nice to see such a successful company extend itself to a newer generation of workers.

Pros

A family-owned business that has been in the industry for 80 years! The people here are very friendly and I WAS hesitant to come in based on the feedback on Glassdoor. However, the company and the owners never made me feel overwhelmed or felt that there was any drama. I mostly worked with the people in the office and the owner actually allowed me to see how a full order is completed before entering the shop. I feel like I learned more about buisness this way, more than I did at school. Every owner and employee that I have encountered at Ace Wire Spring has been more than helpful and willing to help me whenever I had questions. The hours are really something to applaud as well, you start work at 8 A.M (which may sound early) but you end at 4:30. It's amazing for me because I NEVER or RARELY ran into traffic on my way home and I beat the morning traffic aswell. And let's not forget that sometimes there is free coffee along with the occasional snacks! I loved working here and am highly considering to reapply as soon as I am done with grad school. Thank you Ace Wire & Spring.

Cons

When work starts to become busy and orders begin to pile in, management can become more strict (but what company doesn't)?
