Liars and politicians
Be union. Don't ever take a company job. Liars liars liars liars. The entire management team is full of the good old boys clicked up and they love a yes man, do not for any reason tell them a better way to do something. And heaven forbid if your workers like you, the company doesn't want their supervisors to be friends with workers....
ProsMoney
ConsStress. Drama. Rumors. Lay offs. Strikes. Prices of aluminum.

Relaxed place to work but has its quirks like any other plant
Excellent pay and benefits, but management gets flustered easy and affects shift performance. Vacation time starting out is pretty good 5 days paid but don’t get anything more than that until 3 years of service. Long shifts and depends on where you work in the plant but might be the easiest money you’ve ever made. Seniority gets favored over new employees as far as leniency in discipline and shift pick.
ProsPaid lunch, excellent compensation and benefits
ConsPoor management, long shifts, political union

Great place to work when they had work
Extremely interesting work I learned a lot about the Oil and Gas, Non Destructive Testing Welding and Document control requirements of Oil and Gas.
If they were going hire again I would go back to work for them again

Difficult work enviroment.
Very demanding, Union enviroment, exposed to the enviroment all the time either hot or cold. Learned that there is a better job that might pay less money. Management was very easy to work with and for they focused on training and safety which was good. Hardest part of the job was the work schedule which was the 16 hour shifts just distroyed your body and life in spite of the good money. Most enjoyable part was the good money.
Prosfree food
Conswork enviroment.

hostile work environment, constant harasment from management.
At one time ALCOA was a good job but as with time things changed for the worst, from mismanagement to constant haresment to its employees. This is an employer that I wouldn't recommed for long term employment.

un jour avec et un jour sans
C'est dur de donner un avis qui est changeant selon les gents et les impératifs du moments
Globalement c'est pas si mal...mais c'est lassant de ne pas savoir si on va passer une bonne journée de travail ou non
On peut toujours trouver pire,mais c'est pas le but il doit y avoir de la prod ou ça se passe mieux.
C'est tout de même une bonne entreprise mais l'ambiance n'est pas toujours positive et les horaires devenus "bizzar"n'arrangent rien dans le sentiment de parfois se faire "rouler".
Prospossibilité de faire ses "armes"pour les nouveaux
ConsEmbiance pas terrible, horraires en 3x8, ne dites que oui oui pour avancer
