Pros

The 401k is decent and that's about it. Other than that, this place is all negative. When I started, the company was owned by a different outfit. From the day ATI took over, it went downhill fast.

Cons

When I started at the company, it was Pacific Cast Technologies. PCT was a fantastic place to work. Then ATI happened. As soon as ATI came in our insurance changed, the management changed, and worst of all the schedule changed. The 3 on 3 off shift is the worst. There is no reward for seniority and everyone works the same amount of weekends. If you enjoy time with your family, this shift will destroy that. Also, the pay is not equitable in all departments. There has not been a cost of living increase in years. I left the company because of the 3 on 3 off schedule, and I still keep in close contact with dear friends who work there. It appears the company is completely unwilling to change the shift despite repeated pleas and complaints and even suggestions of alternatives by senior skilled operators. This shows that ATI is willing to put it's employees second to it's ego and pride. Staying on this crappy shift has nothing to do with profitability, because ATI made more money with less people on the 4-10 schedule. Any company that is willing to lose money in order to prove a point and keep their people down is no company I want to work for.

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.
