United States Steel – “Great Benefits if you dont mind working for a company who still thinks its 1970”

Pros

Salary was good and the benefits were fantastic.

Cons

Most of the bosses were apart of the bad years so a lot of them are quite bitter.Nepotism is extremely high and they will hire based on it. Promotions are a joke and their hiring and promotion practices make me question this company's ethics.

There is no internal hiring system so its based completely on who they like. Company is extremely biased and it they will overload you with work sort of recognition. Some managers talk to you as if you are not entitled to basic human rights. Its absolutely ridiculous. There are good people at the company..but very few of them actually have any sort of control.

Advice to Senior Management

The 70's are over. We are in a recession right now, but as soon as things get better all of the real talent will leave for companies that treat people with respect. How about you create an internal hiring system and base performance reviews on issues relevant to the job and not how much your manager likes you.
