Pros

Peers are wonderful New CEO is taking company in right direction

Cons

If you don’t make your deliverables, regardless of fault, you need to be video taped physically dropping an object and say that you were not successful. This video is then shared to the entire site. The company (Arconic Technology Center ATC) tracks when you badge in and badge out every day and runs a report to see how long everyone is working. They use this against you in evaluations. If you don’t regularly put in 50+ hours/week you’ll be told you won’t advance. If you miss submitting your time card, you go on a “Timesheet Offenders” list that is available to everyone to see. Only after I left did I truly realize what stockholm syndrome I had working at ATC. Stay away if you want to grow your career.

Pros

Good benefits including a strong 401k match. The company places a real emphasis on safety, which is important in a manufacturing environment. There are opportunities for professional development and advancement for employees who are motivated and willing to take on additional responsibility. Many teams have experienced employees with strong technical knowledge, and there are chances to learn a lot about large-scale manufacturing operations. Overall a stable company with structured processes and clear expectations.

Cons

The culture can feel somewhat typical of a large corporation, with a strong focus on metrics and production targets. Some strategic decisions can feel short-term focused, which can create frustration at the operational level. Communication between leadership and employees is not always consistent. Like many manufacturing companies, employees can sometimes feel more like part of the system than individuals.
