Pros

Good company to work for, focused on career advancement, and developing it's younger professionals. Great company to jump in to straight out of college.

Cons

You keep pretty busy, Alcoa is not wanting to hire very many people in the staff level so your responsibilities will continue to rise.

High turn over rate

Pros

It is a union shop, at least the union employees on the floor can and will help you when your upper management who has little or no experience can't.

Cons

Extreme turn-over rate in HR, and management. We have seen a minimum of at lease 10-20 new HR reps / specialist. A huge turn over rate of every 2-3 years managers are hired and fired. Very very poor management!
