United States Steel Reviews

Pros

The people that I worked with were incredibly high functioning and competent at their role. Most everyone was willing and wanting to help you, and I personally grew an immeasurable amount of time in my years here. My time at USS has set me up on a long term success path in terms of mental state, ambition, and perspective on life. Truly one of the best experiences of my life was working here.

Cons

I would say the inter-organizational culture is very territorial. Procurement is very protective of their data / suspicious of Accounting data (and vice versa), and there just always seemed to be efforts to make certain sub-organizations shine over others. Plus there seemed to be a massive priority on hitting deliverables/metrics, even at the expense of employee work-life / moral / long-term opportunity. In summary, I loved my experience at USS-- easily top 3 life changing experiences for the better, easily-- but I would take caution if looking at USS. Look at the individuals you'd work with / for and do some homework from current/ex employees. For example, I worked in my latest organization for about 18 months, and in that time I saw at least 10 people leave for other opportunities outside the company. Almost half of those people were under 30. Consider these vastly differing points if looking at USS, both are true.

Pros

Salary was good till they stopped paying overtime. Good benefits and severance package

Cons

Upper managements concern with short term goals resulted in plant closure. Verbal abuse from upper management on a daily basis.
