Pros

There are not any from my point of view

Cons

The company is a joke, some people work hard because of their ethics and then you have those that do absolutely nothing and what is said by the managers, nothing. The managers want you to shut up and work harder for those that do nothing and they reward the lazy ones by not writing them up or making them do anything, they work around them and for the hard workers they look at you to pull all the weight and when you get to a point you decided not too they want to write you up.. They have people running things that no nothing and I mean nothing, they go by their feelings on making decision. These people fuss about them putting people in charge because they have education, well I rather have an educated person who can learn something then a uneducated person who thinks they know everything. They run the business like they run their lives and this is with very little thought process. That is why the company has been going down the drain for years and no one bother to stop it because all the managers cover each other and put in position those whom they knew would go along with their antics, now that the company is taking a nose dive, they have the audacity to wonder why. They judge everyone the same way when it comes to evaluation. The person next to you can sit in breakroom most of the shift, sleep on the job but they will get the same evaluation as you because they clocked in. There is no incentive to do better then the next man and promotions, another joke, it is about who you know, not what you know and that is sad because some very good workers get overlooked because of this.

Pros

Great summer experience, workers are great and willing to teach about steel making. Great place to learn about the real manufacturing industry and gain hands-on experience.

Cons

It's a little far from Richmond, and it is not the cleanest environment.
