      ALCOA is a good company with long term employment opportunities.

      Pros

      The benefits negotiated by the union set the pace for all employees of the company. Therefor employment at ALCOA was very good for me

      Cons

      The management staff were not professional. This company tends to promote form within. They do not, however, train them on how to manage or the need for diversity in the workplace. Thus, minority employment can be very difficult to maintain.

      Pros

      Good pay, decent health benefits.

      Cons

      Really poor work/life balance, pressure to put profits over quality, poor safety on the shop floor, managers don't listen to the people performing the actual jobs, bullying by management, loss of holiday/vacation time, not enough sick time to compensate for being overworked (and therefore, getting sick more often), management lies a lot.

      Pros

      Co-workers are great to work with and policies are great for salary workers, i don't know about hourly. Overall good company

      Cons

      Yes it is a great place to work in due to the fact that they make you feel like family but pay is extremely low for engineers
