Alcoa – “Pros and Cons of Howmet

Aug 22, 2009

1.0

Alcoa Anonymous in Exeter, England (United Kingdom):   (Current Employee)

Pros

You can work 8 to 4 with 2 coffee breaks and a lanch break. There is a lot of independence in how you do your job and no one checks what are you doing.

Cons

People skills of senior management are close to none. The company does not care about recruting right people, therefore level of overall performance is very poor. There is no training scheme for employees.

Advice to Senior Management

Improve people skills and start engaging people. Redesign recruitment practices to get only the best people. Create a training scheme and let your employees develop.
