Pros

You are free to excel, improvise, implement, and execute YOUR ideas to make the operations better, you can earn "points" for YOUR ideas which can be turned over to $$$$, VERY GOOD starting pay, VERY GOOD benefits, YOU WILL be fired for safety violations, drugs, alcohol, etc.... ON THE SPOT! This is good for the safety of others) Advancement opportunity's are there also if want to go for them.... choice is YOURS! Overall... good stable employment, With a very decent pay structure, starting pay is about double of minimum starting elsewhere....

Cons

YOU WILL be freezing your butt off in the winter if you are blue collar worker out in the mill or melt shop, YOU WILL be sweating your butt off in the summer if you are a blue collar worker in the mill or melt shop, but........ the money is there, if YOU are willing to work,

Pros

Great summer experience, workers are great and willing to teach about steel making. Great place to learn about the real manufacturing industry and gain hands-on experience.

Cons

It's a little far from Richmond, and it is not the cleanest environment.
