Pros

Pay for area, successful company with global reach and opportunity. Evolve with market, innovative and structured very open to employee engagement and change. Safety is #1 top priority.

Cons

Meetings take management out of the game. Management experience is not best utilized. No management on off shifts. Works well for motivated employees, exploited by not motivated employees. Creates a push you, pull me relationship for middle management. These experiences are specific to my location. A non union culture was introduced into a union setting with mixed results. We are limited on employee head count where other facilities are not. This creates the overworking of middle management, do more with less. Poor moral and a recent turnover rate that is uncommon to the shop, which has been in business for 30+ years. Many employees have been with the company since the start and those who are management have been forced into positions unfamiliar to their skill set and well.......we know what poor evaluations lead to.....

Pros

Great summer experience, workers are great and willing to teach about steel making. Great place to learn about the real manufacturing industry and gain hands-on experience.

Cons

It's a little far from Richmond, and it is not the cleanest environment.
