Pros

Good 401k benefits Lower/mid level managers are still ethical, good people

Cons

Upper management preaches integrity but doesn't follow it themselves Company is undergoing takeover from another, close ATI plant and it is going poorly. They pushed all previous, loyal upper management out and placed ATI people in. The new ATI president led the company downhill. We had high hopes and on track for fast expansion but we immediately started going downhill with the new president. New upper management doesn't understand the process or what people's jobs are Not much room for advancement unless you switch departments Not keen on spending money to advance personal skills (ie: six sigma training)

Pros

Interesting work with (some) hard workers. Serious place to get real experience. Salaried employees receive a large 401k match.

Cons

Place is held together by critical staff working much harder than others, but don't expect many raises. Annual adjustments do not match inflation. Managers do not understand technical skills that set their staff apart and struggle to argue for raises when asked, losing this talent within a few years. Experience always outranks expertise (helps to be old). HR/Operations collaborate to underpay their hourly staff, keeping process changes that affect incentive pay out of union negotiations for as long as possible. HR can barely run Salaried payroll and will threaten you if you question their math (even when they owe you money). HR refuses to address racism/white supremacy within their hourly workforce.
