Business outlook
Pros
This company, in terms of individual employee competencies, has some of the best in the steel biz. There's opportunity for broad experience/advancement. Industry has stabilized. CEO understands the numbers and the biz. Makes the right calls financially.
Cons
Just too big. Lack of top to bottom communication. Limited/No promotional opportunities in non-production jobs Grew through acquisitions, and there are still cultures/cliques from the predecessor companies that interfere with effictiveness. Several "Peter Principle" employees VP/GM level that limit effectiveness. Technical biz run by an accountant. Often poor grasp of foregone opportunities Attitude towards HR and Employee Engagement is "you have a job, don't you?". Just awful!
