Pros

Alcan takes great care of production crews and is understanding of personal needs. Very safe and fun place to work. Most of the people get along great and it is a laid back atmosphere making it an enjoyable place to work. Benefits pacaking is wonderful and 401k match is very good.

Cons

Mid level and senior level management are incompetent and unprofessional. Quick to accuse and point fingers and they set unrealistic demands. Management would be better received if they took a more active roll with all levels of the plant to help solve problems rather than point fingers when a plan doesn't work out.

Pros

The only reason to work at this plant is if you HAVE to live in the area and don't want a commute of more than 20 minutes.

Cons

No support at all from management at the department level. This plant is an environmental nightmare. You would think that a multibillion dollar company would have more environmental safeguards in place.
