Pros

I don’t work here anymore and can share just how bad this company is to the world, without fear of internal retaliation. There are some decent people who still care.

Cons

Unstable and uncommitted corporate leadership and site leadership. Company needs 10’s, if not 100’s of millions in upgrades to obsolete equipment, obsolete financial systems, decaying and depressing office spaces at manufacturing sites, and commitment to employee welfare, yet the CEO decided to spend $700 million buying back shares. Most leaders have been with the company 15-20+ years and have no perspective on how horrible this company is to work for compared to just about anywhere else. No opportunity for modern flexible work arrangements. Raises got cancelled for all non-managers despite the company having a profitable 2018. It’s now damn near impossible to get sorely needed capital spend approved, because sites and divisions can’t make final decisions. Unrealistic growing revenue goals because we can’t get necessary capital improvements. No opportunity for employees to provide feedback

Aluminum manufacturing provides exciting and challenging opportunities to test and reward engineers for all disciplines. You will never stop learning; life will never be mundane.

Unexpected equipment failures will happen at the worst possible time, Time and effort is required to recover back to full production.
