Pros

Great benefits that are affordable, health insurance cost is the same for a family of 1-5 children. Good work/life balance. Paid weekly.

Cons

Management is inconsistant with policy enforcement, Brazilians are given preference for every salaried position, seemingly impossible for a domestic hourly worker to be promoted to a salaried position, hourly employees are micromanaged. Upper management has their favorites and targets those who show their opposition to such culture.

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.
