Management doesn't have a clue what leadership is.

Pros

New Executive recently hired to get control of the madness.

Cons

Too many managers are in positions because of longevity with company or "good old boy" network instead of being qualified for the position. Executives appear to have no leadership skills at all. They still operate and communicate like a very small company. Currently, a lot of in-fighting among staff in Dallas headquarters as each member is more concerned about control and "turf" than how to run a company. Again - lack of leadership abilities.

Pros

If you're in the business side of things you get to learn the steel industry like no one's business. Makes you an expert in record time but if you're in technology or tertiary roles then forget it.

Cons

I wasted 2 years of my life in this company. There is absolutely no growth potential and your salary remains the same. Any bonus passes through a myriad of rules and red tape resulting in a fraction of what they promise. In terms of processes they're pretty confined and lack flexibility. Most people I know arent happy. The company has potential.
