Pros

-Great culture and corporate dedication to safety of employees! -potentially great benefits. Stock options/stock unit awards, profit sharing, incentive bonus (when the company makes money). -Advancement opportunity/upward mobility -Competitive Salary -Paid vacation

Cons

-Lack of specific direction from upper echelons causes a lot of variance between facilities -People in the wrong positions tend to stay in them for too long, getting fired or demoted is not easy, even for underperformers -Work life balance is poor at times, and often times, the people working some of the longest hours do not get overtime or as frequent incentives -pay is probably more than adequate for field/average compensation for position, but not always reflective of the workload being done by that person -while advancement opportunities are plenty, relocating to advance is basically a requirement, limiting alot of good employees to their current roles.

Great Company

Pros

Great Pay. Great Benefits. They pay you very well and you're only required to do two things. Be a “World Class Supplier” of steel the safest way possible.

Cons

Long hours occasionally like any mill setting. If you don’t over extend yourself outside of work, this is a lifetime career that will set you up very well for retirement. A lot of people have negative outlooks, because they over extend themselves or rack up more and more bills due to the amount of money they’re making. Control your finances and you’ll be happy. Just because you make great money, doesn’t mean you have to spend it all as soon as you get it.

Good pay and autonomy

Business outlook

Pros

-Really good pay -Not a lot of micro managing, pretty self determined -Good company values

Cons

-Some micro managing, not from on-site management, but from corporate leadership that has made certain promises to customers -Depending on area, work life balance is not great. Need to be available 24/7, including call-ins in the middle of the night. Work load is a bit much but the pay matches that so you're not putting a ton of hours for nothing.
