      Pros

      Good pay, good support until you're considered to valuable to promote. It's sad to see people put in 40 years of their life just to get the cold shoulder from management.

      Cons

      Don't do your job too well, or else all your future job bids will be thrown in the trash. They are all about "cultivating internal talent" but when someone is excelling exceptionally in their position they gridlock you in an effort not to train a new person. It is a real shame to be honest. The pay is great but I for one was not happy making 65k-75k a year for the rest of my life doing the same thing year in and out.

      Pros

      Decent pay if the plant is running good. Benefits are good with a yearly bonus and good medical. They've never had a layoff.

      Cons

      Ken Iverson laid out the business model that built this company. It was built on a foundation of treat your workers good, train them well, pay them well and let them make steel. He was forced out years ago and it's gone the opposite direction since. Top heavy with butt kissing supervisors that look for every way they can to cut pay to the workers. Nastiest place you will ever work at. (it's a steel mill) It's basically a revolving door for people hiring in and quitting especially skilled maintenance people. The steel industry is all but dead in the US. Politicians have sold it out to China and other slave driving countries and US made steel can't compete. Blame both political parties for that.
