Pros

Decent people. Decent compensation. Decent benefits. Decent.

Cons

Corporate employees think they work for a tech company, not a steel manufacturer. Company has an aging workforce and severe brain drain. The inmates run the asylum if you know what I mean. Can’t keep any younger employees around for longer than a year. They routinely bait and switch new grads by hiring you as an intern then dumping you into a labor intensive role for the first year (or longer in my case) without a plan for career development.

Pros

Great summer experience, workers are great and willing to teach about steel making. Great place to learn about the real manufacturing industry and gain hands-on experience.

Cons

It's a little far from Richmond, and it is not the cleanest environment.
