Pros

You get to meet great individuals from OUTSIDE the company like field service and applications engineers that aid in the manufacturing process and pretty much keep this place going. Others are the big wig customer reps (which im not sure that i can mention here) mainly in the aerospace industry.

Cons

If your a temp with any experience look out!! This is a back stabbing, extremely stressful, very fearful and toxic work culture that facility managers promote as they are just as fearful for their job themselves. Watch what you do and say, production members will do whatever they can (cry, whine: as in complain in a feeble or petulant way, rat out, throw you under the bus, pass your good ideas off as their own, gossip, destroy your reputation and honest work you put forth) to get rid of you if they feel their position is threatened or if you display even an ounce of knowledge that could help the company out. If you do choose to work here, be a "yes man". Follow through with their terrible ideas, do all the hard dirty work and let your "lead" start the machines and take credit for your work. Make your boss (that knows nothings about the equipment he's supposedly familiar with) feel as though he created them while he stares blankly at the screen and gets a look inside the building chamber and asks you, the newest member of the team, "whats going on here??" and will probably have you conduct large company audits on several occasions while your "lead" takes a vacation (because that makes absolute sense right?)....if all of this sounds like your dream position then you're in luck!! enjoy being reduced to nothing and being asked to come in at all hours of the day to keep production going while your "lead" sits back in a chair all day on the production floor and takes naps in front of the production manager with no corrective action taken only for YOU to be laid off instead....as a temp, you will never be extended a job offer. watch out for the end of your 1 year contract marker as they don't renew contracts and don't give you any warning about that. They'll work you to your last day and say "see ya! :)" Greatest waste of time, tremendous stress level for little pay. And as a temp they say "you don't exist" as in you aren't apart of them or the company and will completely alienate you...Good luck to anyone that has to take this job. Took a great deal for me to drive up to work, even a greater deal to make it up to the time clock and actually punch in. It literally, physically made me sick everyday.

Pros

Pay and benefits weren't bad.

Cons

Extremely quick to layoff. Arconic appears to view people as a disposable commodity.
