      Pros

      I helped build and worked for Alcoa Iceland. In the beginning it was exciting, fun, and promises were made for employees of inputting ideas to help your section be more productive. Hours in my old section switched form 12 hour shifts to 8 hour shifts. Great for those with families.

      Cons

      Management only cares for themselves. If you complain about how your treated, supervisors take it personal. The leadership in all departments are not worth anything. People in the offices think they are above us blue collar workers. Your ideas are never discussed, and if they are, supervisors will say no, then present YOUR idea as if they came up with it themselves.
