Pros

There are a lot of great people that work for Alcoa. You get to work with people of good and diverse experiences. I especially like the opportunity to work with people that are of different generation. It allows me to gain valuable work and life experiences

Cons

There is a lot of uncertainty in the company. These uncertainties have led to a lot of changes in management. It seems like there is no stability at the management level.

Pros

Great people, extremely concerned with the safety of its employees

Cons

No technical training, or on the job training in the beginning. Work/life balance mentality is still not a thought in upper management
