Pros

You are free to excel, improvise, implement, and execute YOUR ideas to make the operations better, you can earn "points" for YOUR ideas which can be turned over to $$$$, VERY GOOD starting pay, VERY GOOD benefits, YOU WILL be fired for safety violations, drugs, alcohol, etc.... ON THE SPOT! This is good for the safety of others) Advancement opportunity's are there also if want to go for them.... choice is YOURS! Overall... good stable employment, With a very decent pay structure, starting pay is about double of minimum starting elsewhere....

Cons

YOU WILL be freezing your butt off in the winter if you are blue collar worker out in the mill or melt shop, YOU WILL be sweating your butt off in the summer if you are a blue collar worker in the mill or melt shop, but........ the money is there, if YOU are willing to work,

Pros

Large company but intra-organization communication is excellent. You don't get that 'siloed' feel. If you need to reach someone in another division or location, you usually hear back promptly. Goals were clearly established and you're given a lot of flexibility in how to develop your market.

Cons

Some of the operating systems are complex. However, there are locations across several countries so the system has to be broad enough to accommodate.
