Pros

Alcoa has come in, purchased Firth Rixson. It's been 1 and a half years since going into transition. Alcoa is safety first all the way. Healthcare is ok with 5 different options being offered. Old management is still here and still have the investment firm mentality.

Cons

Management. No payscale put in place. Most are below average pay for machinist national average. Employees lack enthusiasm in workplace. One of the shop qoutes is mess up to move up, in that good machinist are kept in place while the screw-ups are moved into lead position.

Pros

Ability to work 100% remote.

Cons

ITAS OTC Manager has no clue how to manage, encourage development, or plan growth. He was too busy trying to keep his skills up and not actually cultivate newcomers and manage well. I felt alone and not supported by my manager. The environment is not great for newcomers to the company. The team supposedly has so much work, but was able to lay me off after returning to work from health event. Complete and utter joke. They do not honor their core values. Beware of this place.
