      Pros

      Pay is typically better than similar positions in the area. Safety is a high priority.

      Cons

      Company is not employee focused. Upper management is constantly changing. Metal markets are cyclical which makes the jobs also cyclical. Layoffs happen every few years which is very stressful. Middle managers are typically yes men with no regard for the people under them. For most positions job performance is not important as long as you play the corporate game and bootlick the right people.

      Pros

      Great Pay, Great Location. People are generally nice and easy to work with.

      Cons

      Lots of red tape because of upper management and corporate structure. A lot of he said/she said dynamic...easily changed when people just take the time to pick up the phone and talk to other departments!

      Pros

      Decent pay for the work that we are required to do, and some advancement potential, but not a lot. But would like to be challenged.

      Cons

      Not so good place if you are not with the "in crowd" as there is a lot of favoritism that goes on here unfortunately. No recognition ever unless you have an incident then you're on everyone's radar.
