Class a truck driver

Business Outlook

Pros

Pays and benefits are good

Cons

Drivers are "bottom of the barrel" equipment stays down more than running. Trailers and roll-off boxes have too many holes and gaps that allows scrap metal to fall out. Good company for a yard worker or contract driver but horrible for company driver

A great place to make a career choice

Manager

Business Outlook

Pros

This company has been a source of steady employment for me for 26+ continuous years. In that time, I have moved from entry level employee, through the ranks to a management position, so great career opportunities. The compensation is high for the area, including health benefits and employee profit sharing. High value here is placed on safety, integrity and performance, therefore those that share those values have a path here to enjoy not only long employment, but advancement opportunities (as I was afforded). Additionally, the company places a high value on employee retention, meaning that even though market conditions may change, the company strives to keep its workforce employed. For my part, I will say I have no regrets in the years I have spent here and plan to stay longer.

Cons

Much of the work at the Steel mill is "hands-on", therefore common sense and the ability to learn are primary skills. Those that don't have or are unable to acquire those skills likely will have difficulty understanding the work.

BAD UPPER MANAGEMENT

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The working from home opportunity.

Cons

Upper management is ruining the company by micromanaging, overworking staff, being nonresponsive, sneaky, using favoritism, and having a very negative or fake attitude. The compensation is not great, they do not care to give employees wage increases outside of their yearly percentage which is pennies to the dollar no matter inflation or cost of living.
