Pros

6 figure income mandatory 6 day 12 hour work weeks constant they supply everything to a limit fresh air hoods, suitcase welders issued.

Cons

Racist favoritism, don't file a grievance against a tiktok lead cause you could be the hardest worker in the shop but they will back door you for telling the truth about the lack of work these so called leads do. Lack of QC and no weld parameters at all and I'm surprised Freeport hasn't came in there and pulled all there components out for improper weld procedure, zero welder parameters weld what your comfortable amperage and no welder audits whatsoever. Quality is gonna get that place shut down with the lack of quality procedures being followed never preheating 2 inch or above material is very wrong.

Pros

A name brand company is always nice to have on a resume, Employees are generally nice. They care about safety. They have a lot of "town halls" to give you updates about financials. They want internal employees to apply for jobs if they become available. Benefits are decent - they have the minimal to entice good employees.

Cons

Four days in office, even if you were initially hired into the company as a 2 day remote employee. Office is loud and cold. There isn't even enough space but you must come into office to sit on the meetings on Teams. You will get between 0 and 3% raises and you will be told that there is not way to "exceed expectations" but you will be required to and will ambush you to create performance reviews. A giant issue is on it's way to Komatsu - all of their employees are retiring. They are all retiring right now and they are not training others to fill the roles and the next 5 years are going to be painful. Those retiring - they've seen the company go from an amazing company with pensions, extra time off, and extravagant Christmas parties to what they are today - greedy overlords with BYO food for a mid-day Christmas party lunch. It's unfortunate.
