I’ve learned so much over my 16 years working in the cold mill. Knowledge that gets passed down from old school to new school can’t be learned in a classroom. Ive learned by getting my hands dirty, listening, and being attentive. From coworkers, to shift supervisors, to Coldmill managers all got me to where I am now. Knowledge is key
Cons
There’s always negatives. Everywhere. Just depends on wether you wanna focus on that.
