Pros

Spun off from Trinity Industries in Nov 2018 and eager to make a name for itself in industry. Solid backlog of business.

Cons

Arcosa wants to rid itself of the Trinity Industries rigid management style and controlling leadership. Time will tell if the new Arcosa leadership can let go of 1970 and join the workforce of 2020.

Horrible Upper Management

Pros

This place is great to get a head start and get a feel of what welding in a manufacturing plant will be like in the future. The specific plant is a union account so it does help. You do get paid holidays and that the company does provide holiday bonuses and luncheons (however that's always been the case even when the new company took over). They do run a point system so once you're in the union you get a hundred points before you are considered terminated. Supervisors and below are great to work with because they understand how this plant operates and will go out of their way to help you if you are struggling

Cons

This company's morale has been going down in the plant for some time now upper management all came from different plants and they all like to compare how their plant operates with this plant. If it wasn't for the union they would be making us work 7 Days 12 hour shifts. If you do not share an opinion or if you make them look bad in any way they will gun for you. Favoritism does play a big part so if you're not on the good list might as well start looking for another job. They're so understaffed that it's not even funny and yet they still try to push all the operators to produce as fast as I can like we were fully staffed. Don't get me started about their payroll they can't even pay their current operators appropriate pay and it takes forever for them to fix it so when your back pay comes you don't get all your money cause you get taxed from it.

Pros

They pay is really good for the area which makes it hard to leave even if the conditions aren’t the best. Offer 1 week of vacation within the first year.

Cons

They do not care for the employees. You are just another body doing the work they need done that day. Management is always changing so there is never any consistency. The working conditions aren’t that great.
