Pros

Higher than average pay for the area and location, first day benefits, good employees to work with (but not upper management)

Cons

Horrible "management team" with no proven past management experience. No respect for the employees or their job performances. No confidentiality or trust, even though its preached. Lots of backstabbing, favoritism, lies and cover ups by supervisors and plant management. There is no official rules, policy or handbook so they can pretty much do what they want to you, no matter who you are or how good your work performance is. They make the rules as they go. If they personally dont like you, they get rid of you - even if you have more experience than anyone else there. No communication from upper management at all. Lots of secrets. Plant manager has no idea what he is doing and it shows. He is seen as a joke to other plant managers at the other facilities. Watch out. You will be thrown under the bus no matter what you do so you learn not to trust anyone in management. Employees are very unhappy here, and no one listens or cares even though they say they do. The only reason we keep going is because of the pay and there arent many jobs available in this location.

Pros

A lot of decent hard working people, mostly in non-management roles.

Cons

This place has one of the worst corporate cultures I have seen. It lacks an identity of their own, their strategy to fix this was to attend a garage sale held by USS & Tenaris and picking up all the 5 cent trinkets they could find and put them in management roles. They also have an absurd amount of Directors, most of them are completely incompetent and came from other companies from lower positions. Their lying and manipulating on safety, company strength and quality is beyond criminal. The only semi-decent thing is that will hire people with no experience as inside sales. Once they have 1 to 2 years of experience they are poached by competitors or customers because everyone knows there are almost no advancement opportunities.....mostly lies about them. The few that have moved up have had to fight extremely hard for it and even then got screwed on compensation. The is so much fighting, backstabbing, and throwing each other under the bus across all departments that its no wonder why priority number 1 is CYA and not to make any decisions that go against the wishes of management, no matter how ridiculous those wishes are. The have a horrible reputation in the marketplace amongst distributors, other mills, and even end users.
