It's a great job! Coworkers are wonderful and so is the boss. Just a really boring and repetitive job. - Avis employé Machinist Acro Machining

Loved working there and put in 22 years.

Like any machine shop it has, it's slow periods.

Upper management generally takes care of you, especially the owner. If you come in and do a good job, you WILL be taken care of. On top of that, most of the people on the floor are great to work with.If you already have some good training and aren't interested in a supervisory role, this can be a great place to work.

In this size of business there is little room for talent to move up in the company, and some mid-level managers will actually squash talent if they view it as a threat. Training is minimal to non-existent, so only quick-learning self-starters are able to do well. Lack of training and a slam-bang-done attitude are big problems here.
