Pros

New CEO seems to be focused on operational improvement, which is very important for a manufacturing company.

Cons

People are overworked and underpaid - especially in Finance. Many people blame this on the CFO having no direction. Former CEO (who was fired after a long proxy battle with Elliott Management) led the company to focus on perception rather than true improvement. Hard to be promoted within the company. Many people have been laid off recently, which still is not leading to upward mobility, just increased work with no additional compensation.

Pros

Aluminum manufacturing provides exciting and challenging opportunities to test and reward engineers for all disciplines. You will never stop learning; life will never be mundane.

Cons

Unexpected equipment failures will happen at the worst possible time, Time and effort is required to recover back to full production.
