Pros

This company has ZERO pros

Cons

This was by far the worst career move I've ever made in my life. Within 2 weeks of accepting the position I knew I was in big trouble and had to get out of this company. The working conditions at all of the PCC Structurals locations are horrendous. The facilities are filthy, out-dated mid-60's era death traps that will leave you wondering how they could actually manage to produce a product that is safe and reliable. The IT systems are a joke and will remind one of computer systems from 1982. The work hours (whether you're salaried or hourly) are completely ridiculous and you can check the concept of "life work balance" at the door. Internally, the company has a few smart people but they are completely squashed by division leaders and general managers that are nothing short of incompetent fools. The Division President is a direct descendant of Henry VIII complete with his insane ego and iron fist rule of management. He thinks he can listen, but alas no such luck. Nearly all general managers are on a constant "shuffle the deck" cycle and last at a location for about 6-12 months if you/they are lucky. Whether you're a hourly laborer or a senior technical manager, this place will turn you into a zombie. Run as fast as you can from this place.

Pros

Not many pros of working here - they pay decently, but that it about it.

Cons

There is no work life balance - management does not care at all about your family or you spending any time with them. Prepare to be set up for failure with unreachable targets, and then to be yelled at all day long about how you aren't hitting your targets. They are wildly understaffed and rather than hire additional people to fill the vacancies, they just have everyone perform multiple job functions. There are no resources for new employees trying to figure things out, you are thrown straight into your roll within your first week and then the yelling begins. They will not allow for any downtime on equipment to perform maintenance, but when it breaks down due to lack of maintenance, you guessed it - more yelling! They are also constantly firing people. I would NOT recommend this company to anyone.

Very Hard Company to Work For

Pros

Better pay than industry competitors; treat their hourly employees well (following recent union drive in PDX area). Good opportunity for growth at the hourly level. Tuition reimbursement program is generous. There is a quarterly cash bonus based on plant performance.

Cons

Long hours for salaried staff. Burn out their engineers, supervisors, and managers quickly with long hours and unreachable goals. Even attained goals are viewed as failure- if you hit your goal it wasn't high enough. Quarterly cash bonus continues to dwindle though it is reported to be based on sales, throughput, and productivity which are higher than ever, and cost/scrap, which are lower than ever. Bonus is about half of what it was 5 years ago, though all other metrics are better- no transparency on what that calculation is. Upper management leads through intimidation- swearing at and belittling subordinates even in front of other employees. Take a long hard look at this company before you decide to go to work there; they will chew you up and spit you out.
