Pros

safety is their number one and only concern. They communicate their profits/losses.co workers are the best. vacations sick days fmla.

Cons

Alcoa is running our company (TRACO ) to the ground. They approve defective windows to go to the customer then they complain about the amount of field work.They make us work OT and then we wait for metal. They change our shifts like a person changes socks. The pay is horrible, the benefits are alot worse than what we had with a family owned business. They give us unattainable goals to meet.

Pros

Ability to work 100% remote.

Cons

ITAS OTC Manager has no clue how to manage, encourage development, or plan growth. He was too busy trying to keep his skills up and not actually cultivate newcomers and manage well. I felt alone and not supported by my manager. The environment is not great for newcomers to the company. The team supposedly has so much work, but was able to lay me off after returning to work from health event. Complete and utter joke. They do not honor their core values. Beware of this place.
