Too much micromanagement - Production NLMK Employee Review

Pros

Pay is decent and obviously as a smaller mill the pay will not be the same as the big mills next door. The insurance is awesome too.

Cons

Everyone at every level is micromanaged by the manager and VP. There's absolutely a break in the chain of command. I actually think out supervisors have it the worst. Not only do they have to deal with every problem but they also (and this is the break in the chain of command) have to call the VP themselves to get yelled at when the ancient equipment breaks like they are personally responsible for it. I don't know why any of them stay.

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.
