Pros

Alcoa Business System is top class. Good operational experience and go home every day. Technically challenging and stimulating.

Cons

Discriminating at management level. White first, then friends and family, then female and everyone else is last. Pay level is low for a mid-tier miner. Few senior positions are already occupied by those who dont deserve them. HR is useless. Managers rule even if they are bullying.

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.
