Pros

Paychecks are good, coworkers are as well.

Cons

Benefits, $6000 a year for 50% insurance, hours are always scraping 40 or 48 a week, management literally hates you.

Thank you for sharing your review. We're glad to hear you appreciated your coworkers and some of the best pay in the area. That said, we are truly surprised to read that you feel management "literally hates you." Nothing could be further from the truth. Our leadership team is committed to supporting employees, listening to concerns, and creating an environment where our people can thrive. In fact, we promote from within the company. Thank you again for the review as we continue to focus on what matters most: our people.

Pros

Management team is highly adept at flexing to the ever changing environment. Great place to work. Most common statement we hear is that our employees feel like family.

Cons

The company continues to work on employee engagement. It takes a while to steer a large ship and as improvements are made, it feels like it takes too long to some.

Pros

I worked here for over 10 years as a salary employee and while no job is perfect, NLMK was pretty solid. It's the steel business so there are always ups and downs, but that also means that the pay is very competitive and the benefits are great. I think if you are considering a job, there are much worse places than NLMK to work.

Cons

The business model opens it up to tariff struggles and that can be worrisome. As a few other people mentioned, there is a lot of nepotism and that can be frustrating. Everybody has got their people right, and if you aren't one of them, its difficult to go anywhere. Also, many of the complaints on here reflect more on the union leadership than the actual management. The union leadership is less than stellar.

You’re right—steel can be a tough business with its ups and downs, but we’re proud that we continue to offer competitive pay, strong benefits, and a solid team that makes it all worthwhile.
