Pros

Weekly pay. Awesome employees, Great rate of pay.

Cons

Groups, Cliques and the Good ol Boy System are all in play here. If you are not a member, you'll be made to quit or fired.

Pros

With hard work and dedication the advancement opportunities are endless. A decade of experience with this company and always new opportunities to learn everyday, fast paced, overtime and bonuses, good pay, paid training. At the company level the environment was comfortable and familial - sometimes dysfunctional like most families are! Proves that lifelong employment is still a possibility in todays world. As a general rule with dedicated and uniquely skilled employees there is a reciprocal commitment.

Cons

For those who do not understand the steel industry is a roller coaster and if your only in it for the good times this is not the place for you - cutbacks are always eminent during slow times. The corporate office only cares about a results, sending the message everyone is expendable (sometimes with very little or no warning). This attitude often trickles down causing a "running scared" environment in management and can lead to poor treatment of employees. When times are busy it's high stress, high expectations, often asking the near impossible - for average pay. However, all said none of this seems uncommon in the industry and people who meet these high expectations are generally "safe" - though they still have to live in the panic-culture.

Pros

Last conversation I had with my supervisor, Martee said "Production is more important than safety." This reflected the attitude of the plant management at plant 110. Also, they use "bullies" to manage their employees and co-workers. I notified HR of workplace violence incident and they sat on the information without doing a proper investigation. Trinity policy was, and still is, zero tolerance for workplace violence yet Lee is still working there. Also, all of the witnesses I named to the incident have been fired or reassigned to other positions. Does that sound like somewhere you would want to work? Compensatory benefits are great. Company values safety first, yet plant 110 had live electrical cords laying across the concrete in puddles of water. You also had the same supervisor who denied an employee legitimate access to the restroom. The supervisor was a black male, employee was a white male, and there was at least one black male employee who was waiting in line in the restroom and was not denied access by that same supervisor. None of this information was addressed in the final meeting. I have more but that is enoughfor now.

Cons

HR is unsatisfactory, they are discriminatory in their actions.
