Great Company

Pros

Great Pay. Great Benefits. They pay you very well and you're only required to do two things. Be a “World Class Supplier” of steel the safest way possible.

Cons

Long hours occasionally like any mill setting. If you don’t over extend yourself outside of work, this is a lifetime career that will set you up very well for retirement. A lot of people have negative outlooks, because they over extend themselves or rack up more and more bills due to the amount of money they’re making. Control your finances and you’ll be happy. Just because you make great money, doesn’t mean you have to spend it all as soon as you get it.

Pros

Great bonus program, good coworkers

Cons

Some of the management team need to be removed. Certain ones are unwilling to listen to the team. They create a hostile and unwelcoming work environment. Pay could be better. The plants are better taken care of the corporate employees in regards to compensation

Great Company

Pros

Not union. If you’re good at what you do and work safe, you’ll get promoted. We control a lot of our pay with how we perform. Best pay in the area. 4 on/4 off schedule is great. Been here since SDI bought it. Department leadership is solid. We just got a bunch of new supervisors and they’re all pretty good. Lots of opportunities to grow.

Cons

Shift work can get repetitive. We switch days to nights every week. Some equipment is getting old and breaks down. Seems like it takes forever to get new equipment in.

Poor management

Pros

The pay is great as well as the bonus program. I enjoy the four days off for sure but yes night shift is tough.

Cons

The management team promotes who they want in any position regardless of if another employee is better suited for the job. The cliques have got way out of control. Current manager in our area is well below an average individual for being put into a position where he has no clue how to do any of the jobs as well as no interpersonal skills.

Pay is Good - but could be better.

Recommend
CEO approval
Business outlook

Pros

Business outlook is solid and benefits aren't bad.

Cons

Even if you exceed expectations and outperform your peers, you still only get paid based on the amount of work you do, not how well you do it or if you take initiative to do more than your "title" suggests.
