Pros

Employees have loyalty to the company, stayed long time with the company, proud of their job and know their job functions inside-out The last point is especially rare in the steel industry. Pays generously if you are reporting to the right manager.

Cons

Current management trend is leaning towards numbers instead of focusing on people development. The experienced people are forced out. The company is losing their the know-how in making the specialty alloys and soon will have to reinvent the wheels.
