Alcoa – “The company is solid and the product is great. There are corporate ties but each business is managed as its own entity.”

Pros
Good salary and benefits including a pension plan. Lots of autonomy to make decisions and lead projects. Opportunities to apply for other positions within the organization. Educational assistance available. Will hire experienced mature employees.
Cons
Since each location is managed individually it is not unusual to see a lot of nepotism and favoritism where you see a manager bringing in his entourage as he/she is assigned to a new location regardless of qualifications. This company is an old fashion manufacturing company where the old boy network rules not the best place for professional women to grow. Not a lot of employee recognition.
Advice to Senior Management
Improve HR in each location and value employees dedication and loyalty. I would suggest a 360 review of each Plant Manager and to be suspicious of locations where HR personel is going through a revolving door.
