Pros

I have seen this company grow from a Mom-and-Pop family-style atmosphere to a corporate environment. This change was necessary for growth, but there have been many pains and many good people lost along the way. Still, many of the employees retain those original values and are really what makes CMC a fine place to work.

Cons

With the growth, many new managers have been hired that do not hold the same values as the rest of the company. They are your stereotypical bureaucratic and highly political managers that you find in a big company.

Pros

There is a very strong emphasis on safety, the pay is pretty good (for maintenance), and the people are friendly.

Cons

Some of the administrative and logistical processes can be slow and inefficient. It's mostly just inconvenient; not a serious issue.

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.
