Cons

Working here is what I imagine working in the 1960's would feel like. Very old school management that is highly resistant to change. It is the norm to hear racist, homophobic, or sexist statements in the mill with no repercussions. The company will act like they are promoting a new "culture of caring" yet keep promoting the same managers who allow the hostile work environments to continue. US Steel can cry and moan all they want about unfair foreign competition but really all their inefficiencies and competitive disadvantages are a result of them refusing to change and adapt. The only way to move up in this company is to be part of the "ole boys club" and dedicate all your free time to being in the mill. An employee who spends 12 hours a day at the mill (even while adding no value) will get better reviews than an employee who works only 9 hours a day but actually adds true value. Promotions are few and far between, raises as of 2018 are basically non existent (1.5% for the average employee), and work environment is extremely hostile. Because of this, USS has terrible high turnover. Most new employees leave after 3 years (vesting period) which results in a revolving door of new inexperienced employees running the mills.

Cons

-On job Management, you always have to watch out for them, they are not there to help or to make things better, just to show you who is boss here.
-Hours or schedule , rotating shift or swing shift every week, you wont be able to get anything done in your life, I mean that was it for me, and you will start losing the sense of time or what day is it or how things felt, a lot of stress.
-they try to keep you safe but its not safe over there, its a steel mill.
-you gotta be someones favorite for things to get better for you, if your not ,,,, you know it, its like that all over the plane.
They force you to do 16 hours if they are short on people and you can't say no to that.

Cons

I am really disappointed with my (non-union) health care benefits. A minor medical issue such my yearly winter sinus infection costs me hundreds of dollars. As a healthy young person, I will almost never meet my yearly ~5K deductible which means that although I have health insurance, I basically pay out of pocket for everything. We had great health benefits pre-ACA, and I so wish we could return to some semblance of that. I often worry whether this is sustainable for my growing family.

Cons

Rotating shifts work, double shifts when people call off
