Pros

Good 401K. You can potentially work with some really smart people if you're lucky. It's a great crash course learning environment for young engineers. Company is great to work for if you're a metallurgist or on the business side of things.

Cons

People strongly opposed to innovation/changes. Expect to be called in the middle of the night or get called in on weekends. Action item oriented - the thought is by keeping busy you're accomplishing something. A lot of blame and no one taking responsibility for anything. People losing jobs or quitting and no one filling their position. Lot's of expressed dissatisfaction nothing done to address it. No team efforts. Very few projects or changes to lead without experiencing extreme opposition. No recognition for achievements. Procedures on procedures on procedures. A lot of older guys about to retire a lot of younger guys on the verge of quitting. No progression. There seems to be a long course of nepotism. People promoted who don't do anything. Lack of interaction from management. A clear distinction in work environment between management/business (mahogany desks private parking) and engineers who sit in dirty windowless rooms.

Pros

Good compensation, received a signing bonus . Very competitive benefits including heathcare and vacation time. Not much else positive to say besides the pay, which isn't enough for the work you are expected to perform.

Cons

Long hours in filthy, noisy, and dangerous working conditions. I usually averaged 11+ hour days, often with no time given for lunch. Not somewhere where it is easy to move up. I interviewed for and was offered an engineering position in their tech center but on the first day of work was told it was now electrical maintenance on their strip mill. There is a giant disconnect between production/maintenance and corporate/HR. Very unfriendly and hostile environment, especially the union workers who have it in for any salaried employee, even so far as to purposely breaking equipment, endangering employees, etc. Management always looks at it with a blind eye to avoid union problems, which only encourages further abuse and harassment.
