      They communicate well but the lack of pay is a problem for all the older employees

      Pros

      The safety of the employees is the number one priority. They communicate work schedules very well. They have a very good benefit package.They respect the work we do overall.

      Cons

      They recently took our company over (Traco) and they are making salaries for new (temp) employees more than the salaries for the experienced employees that run the products. We work hard building windows and we can't hold alcoa responsible for our previous employers mistakes with the salaries but they are creating a poor work environment by increasing wages to unexperienced employees while not increasing the current employees wages.

      Decent pay, plenty of growth opportunities if only they would stop lay offs

      Pros

      Appreciated for what you bring to the table, given plenty of opportunities to present to leaders, easy access to leaders at all levels.

      Cons

      You need to be prepared to work very hard with fewer and fewer resources, most employees take their laptops home and work nights/weekends to try to keep afloat. Continuous lay offs leave remaining staff with low morale.

      Pros

      Alscoa is a good place to start adavance and to increase your knowledge of manufacturing.

      Cons

      They tend to treat there Senior Management and experienced employees like crap and tend to let senior employee's go and replace with less experienced employees at cheaper pay rates.
