      Pros

      Great work/life balance. Great benefits. People are friendly. Employee morale is fairly good.

      Cons

      Knowledge of management about their job and the job that you do. Good old boys network - promotions based on "who" not "what" you know.

      Pros

      - the ALCOA corporate structure is very solid - good benefits - you will learn how to deal with difficult people

      Cons

      - poor team work between managers - very political--if you do not conform, you are not accepted - pay is not competative - expectations are low

      Pros

      International company affiliation located within reasonable commuting distance from home - fairly direct commute without excessive traffic complications in the winter months.

      Cons

      Poor work/life balance - demands of job far exceeded a 50 hour work week. Month end completed within one work day alone often required a 14 hour work day.
