      Pros

      Stable company that makes aluminum in forms of plate, sheets or coils used for numerous products. Biggest customers use our product for airplane, auto, boats, trains. So demand will always be there. Company isnt going anywhere. Higher waged employer with solid benefits.

      Cons

      Upper management doesnt free funds for fixing stuff, middle management is yes men to upper management, lower management has high turn over which leads to incompetency. With a push from production to do more.....management doesnt do more. Tension is building.

      Pros

      Alcoa is a company that really cares about their employees. It is clearly shown when you ask someone their tenure at Alcoa and the average is over 15 years. They are a socially responsible company as well taking the time to ensure that employees have multiple opportunities to engage with the community.

      Cons

      I think having the HQ in New yOrk is not the ideal situation. It would be my recommendation to move the HQ to Pittsburgh.
