Pros

Good benefits, decent PTO and sick-day policy. other benefits okay too.

Cons

This is for CoE team in Pittsburgh, where I worked onsite. Recruitment techniques and processes are terrible, absurd and outdated. Lack of value for employees: no respect and condescending managers. Everyone is overworked. High turnover in department, and managers spin information on why people leave. 19+ people gone in 2016, 5 people in 2017. No ownership of turnover and bad, bad, BAD culture. No retention and lack of vision from management Poor communication from "so called" leadership. emails go through several people, before getting to you! No advancement opportunities. Decisions on processes are made without recruiters present. no input from us. It's a real dictatorship. Management is abrupt and hostile. People have taken FMLA to get away from this team. Ridiculous metrics that don't add any value. MICROMANAGEMENT! Favoritism (some jobs were filled before being posted) no support from management.

Aluminum manufacturing provides exciting and challenging opportunities to test and reward engineers for all disciplines. You will never stop learning; life will never be mundane.

Cons

Unexpected equipment failures will happen at the worst possible time, Time and effort is required to recover back to full production.
