Great company

Pros

There are opportunities for advancement and they offer competitive salary and benefits. Co-workers are nice and professional and I appreciate the management style. It is very organized and they strive to improve operations each year, and involve employees in this process. They are really trying to listen to what people have to say. Their is a big emphasis on safety, the ultimate sign of respect in my opinion.

Cons

There are some major cultural differences between corporate HQ and North American locations, but that is a given for a global company. Leadership is working to improve this situation and I really think it is getting better.

Pros

Great co-workers and Managers promoted a very positive environment and culture

Cons

Not so great company culture as the recession impacted the company tremendously. A sense of distrust was also cultivated unfortunately.

Pros

Pay, benefits, "hands on" approach

Cons

Management doesn't like new ideas unless it is their own. Everyone is only looking out for themselves including higher management. No sense of team. People who show good work skills are overloaded with projects until they break while people with bad work skills have light loads and continue to get raises and promotions. No one is treated fairly. Corporate has a disconnect with the actual mill locations and only think in ideal situations when implementing new initiatives, when a steel mill is anything but ideal.
