Amazing company - Avis employé CNC Machinist Creative Automation

They taught me a lot while working there. Benefits were good.

Departments spread out in three different buildings. No raises for several years. Low salary.

In my opinion the pros of working here are: - If you commute by car the location is accessible by major highways I-88, I-294 and I-290. - There is paid overtime for qualifying positions.

In my opinion the cons of working here are: - If you commute by public transportation, CTA trains and PACE buses will get you near but a 4-5 block walk is still required. This is fine in good weather, but in heavy rain or Chicago's winter months not so much. - There are no defined career paths for current employees. - Room for advancement is minimal. - There are no performance reviews to give employees feedback on what they are doing right and what they need to work on to advance. - Employee benefits/guidelines are not documented. - The company is privately held so no information is shared or obtainable about the current financial health of the company. - Management does a poor job in leading employees toward meeting goals that are not well defined. - Employee turnover is high. This is bad because people are lost around the time they are just becoming knowledgable useful members of their teams. - Employee morale is ususally low and management does nothing to determine the source and try to improve it. - Salary ranges vary widely for the same position and salaries do not correlate to ability/performance. - Management views employees as commodities and treats them as replaceable cogs in a machine.
