Pros

Senior management had a long-term approach to the companies strategic direction making them slow to take rash actions in the event of an economic downturn.

Cons

The corporate office attempted to micro-manage the operations but generally lacked the industrial experience to do this from afar. Also they did not realize the load they were putting on operations on-top of their everyday task of making steel.

Pros

Great summer experience, workers are great and willing to teach about steel making. Great place to learn about the real manufacturing industry and gain hands-on experience.

Cons

It's a little far from Richmond, and it is not the cleanest environment.
