Pros

Stable 9-5 M-F Job Coworkers were helpful and enjoyable to be around. You get paid time off. Only paid time off, unpaid time off is not allowed even if requested in advance.

Cons

Policy stating that I can not bring my tools to work plus the company refusing to provide computer techs with tools meant we could not do our jobs sometimes. Nepotism is a big issue at the company with relatives of the CEO being treated better than any other employee. I have seen employees get demoted with little to no reason and then two weeks later the granddaughter of the CEO fills their spot. Gigantic layoffs made me consistently worried about my job security, leading to constant anxiety. Management does not know the day-to-day tasks of computer techs, leading to unrealistic expectations and unrealistic demands. Micromanagement is also a big issue.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you found stability in a regular 9–5 schedule (usually 7:30-4:00) and enjoyed the teamwork with your coworkers, as these are essential parts of ATR’s culture. We would also like to address a few of your concerns. While you mentioned concerns about layoffs, we want to emphasize that ATR has maintained minimal layoffs over the years, and job security remains one of our company's key strengths. We take pride in providing our employees with consistent employment and stability. Regarding management awareness, our leadership teams maintain close connections to daily operations. ATR uses a proprietary platform that has been developed and refined over more than 20 years, along with the support of our Operations Support Specialists (OSS). Together, these tools provide ongoing metrics and visibility into workflows across facilities. This enables us to establish fair and realistic benchmarks that are grounded in decades of hands-on experience and facility insights, rather than arbitrary expectations. We value your perspective, and your feedback helps us continue improving how we support our employees while ensuring fairness, transparency, and accountability throughout the company.

Pros

If you’re looking for a great place to grow your career ATR is an exceptional choice. I’ve personally witnessed dozens and dozens of people start with entry level jobs and work their way into a career, including me! This organization promotes internally, and they provide a wealth of resources to help you improve your skills while earning a great living. ATR manages a large amount of technology equipment and IT assets and there is no better place to learn the inner working of devices most employers would neve dream of letting you work on. It’s unfortunate some people only focus on the negative but I can assure you I’ve worked here 12 years and see hundreds of happy smiling people enjoying the benefits of their hard work.

Cons

None that I know of.

Thank you for your feedback and 5 star review! We agree with you, the Charlotte NC demographic is very important to our growth strategy and we are actively prospecting this demographic to determine if a facility is needed in this region.

Pros

The people on site were awesome

Cons

Full of nepotism and petty punishment. Manager was fired for taking 2 sick days that he covered with PTO. I was fired for questioning why other employees got suspended. The area is very unsafe, I can't even recall all the times we had to call the police and lock down the site due to stuff happening outside
