Pros
Cliffs' culture generally promotes a good work / life balance.
Cons
When economics get tight, Cliffs' is quick to focus on cutting staff rather than looking for less disruptive cost reduction options. When economics are good, Cliffs is quick to spend on growth through acquisition rather than strengthening the core and investing in improvements that would aid in weathering the down cycles in a very cyclical business.
