      Summer Haul Truck Deiver

      Summer haul truck driver

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Driving a large haul truck was an interesting experience because of the enormous scale of the work environment. Operating a million pound piece of machinery is a very unique experience.

      Cons

      I was not adequately compensated for my work. At times I felt like I was treated unfairly because of my job title despite my abilities.

      Leader in the cosmetic packaging industry

      Sales coordinator
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Offers flexibilty in balancing the work and the personal. Great learning opportunity to learn about all aspects of the cosmetic industry from sales to product development to production. New York office is centrally located in the heart of midtown.

      Cons

      Inefficiency permeates every department. Lack of internal communication. Resistance to positive change. Old infrastructure; accounting still uses AS 400. Reluctance to invest in time and money saving systems. They cut costs in counterproductive ways.

      Good place to work overall.

      Project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Alcan was a great place to work before it was taken over by Rio Tinto. People there were very friendly and helpful and there are a lot of team work. Sometimes, there are some office politics, but I don't believe it is worst than any other places that I worked previously. It is a very multi-cultural place to be and they are very high on family and life-work balance.

      Cons

      Because of the take-over and the economic crisis, there has been a lot of uncertainty in the Alcan group. A lot of people have left the company or is planning to leave. Sometimes, the pace is a bit slow. There are a lot of employees who have been with the company for a long time.
