LIES!!! - Welder/Fabricator ASC Process Systems Employee Review

Thank you for your review. From the tone of your review, it sounds like you have some long-standing grievance with the company. I'm sorry you feel that way, but hopefully my response will provide some sense of closure for you. I'll address each of your issues. First of all, ASC's pay is at or above other manufacturers in the Los Angeles area. We hire entry-level welders and fabricators at or near $16-17/hr. Entry-level is defined as "you've never had a job before". In some cases, entry-level welders have some weld school certifications and city certifications. That's a plus, and would increase their starting salary by $1/hr, however, the certification doesn't mean that you've held a job and have worked reliably. Because of that, you won't get a higher wage at ASC without proof of reliable and long-term employment experience. Even if you come to ASC with some experience, we'll still look at your longevity at other companies and quality of welding (Weld test) to judge where you "fit" in our organization and what wage you should get. ASC makes no implicit promise of a specific raise to new hires, but do promise that if they work hard, show good quality, and show good company values, then they will be rewarded with good yearly raises. Many of our best new hires achieve raises of 7-10% after their first year, and some high-achievers will get much more. If you didn't receive a similar raise, then there must have been quality, safety, attendance, or other disciplinary events in your employment that held you back. Regarding Safety, if you worked here, then you know that ASC has an amazing safety culture and shows that culture every day on the shop floor. Experienced new hires are always amazed at how strong the safety culture is at ASC compared to their previous company. Regarding field work: yes, we have lots of field work, which is discussed with each new hire. We don't promise anyone that they won't travel. Some field installations are short duration and some are much longer, and we make this very clear to all who work here or wish to be hired. Fortunately, most of our employees enjoy travelling. Lastly, no one has ever been terminated for not wanting to work overtime. In reality, our fabrication employees have always been able to get on a "No overtime" list where they will work 8hrs/day with no overtime. In reality, most of our employees like overtime and don't choose to be added to this list. Anyway, It's never good to harbor resentment and hate toward others, so I hope you're able to find something that makes you happy outside of ASC. Good luck with your life and career.
