Decent money Great insurance - Millwright NLMK Employee Review

Pros

Make decent money and really good health insurance

Cons

21 turn schedule. Can't schedule a doctor's appointment 3 months ahead because you have no idea what shift or day you'll be working. Forced doubles if someone calls off. This 'NPS' stuff is absolutely ridiculous! Should not be mandatory. Of all the things I've seen companies waste huge amounts of time and money into this is by far the biggest. I don't need to know if 10 people can lift a pipe with their fingers and not let a marble roll out. Spend that time, money, and effort in making sure a new guy can run some pipe by himself and I'm all for it.

As you know, the 21-turn schedule and occasional mandatory overtime can be challenging. Our operations require flexibility, but we are always looking for ways to balance business needs with employee well-being. Regarding the NPS program, we appreciate your perspective. Our goal with these initiatives is to build stronger teamwork while including your voice in the way we manage. That said, constructive feedback like yours helps us evaluate and adjust how we implement programs so they’re as meaningful as possible.

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.
