Pros

Stable company that makes aluminum in forms of plate, sheets or coils used for numerous products. Biggest customers use our product for airplane, auto, boats, trains. So demand will always be there. Company isnt going anywhere. Higher waged employer with solid benefits.

Cons

Upper management doesnt free funds for fixing stuff, middle management is yes men to upper management, lower management has high turn over which leads to incompetency. With a push from production to do more.....management doesnt do more. Tension is building.

Pros

Ability to work 100% remote.

Cons

ITAS OTC Manager has no clue how to manage, encourage development, or plan growth. He was too busy trying to keep his skills up and not actually cultivate newcomers and manage well. I felt alone and not supported by my manager. The environment is not great for newcomers to the company. The team supposedly has so much work, but was able to lay me off after returning to work from health event. Complete and utter joke. They do not honor their core values. Beware of this place.
