Pros

Alcan takes great care of production crews and is understanding of personal needs. Very safe and fun place to work. Most of the people get along great and it is a laid back atmosphere making it an enjoyable place to work. Benefits pacaking is wonderful and 401k match is very good.

Cons

Mid level and senior level management are incompetent and unprofessional. Quick to accuse and point fingers and they set unrealistic demands. Management would be better received if they took a more active roll with all levels of the plant to help solve problems rather than point fingers when a plan doesn't work out.

Pros

Local environment is very friendly and laid back. Everyone is helpful. The benefit package is nice as well. We do get the option to purchase company shares, 100% company match up to 6% for 401k plus additional deposits.

Cons

Our company was recently purchased by Rio Tinto and their IT groups are very secular and specialized which makes it hard to communicate and get things resolved. I’ve also compared my salary to others with the same job title within manufacturing companies in my state and found my salary is way below the benchmark.
