Pros

Good compensation, good benefits. And Alcoa have great opportunities for a man do culture, social and value things. I think this is the best job place in my area

Cons

It has not sooo good career oppurtunities. You won a job, you do it and it is great, really but I do not see the next step. It is okey but when you young, you know you are a titan, you want to do big project etc etc.
