ALMATIS

Almatis was a great learning experience for me. I've always been a hard worker, and dedicated to my job. It brought my work ethic to a whole new level. Although it is a very old plant, and needs major updating, you are able to learn a lot of different things. It was the first "Plant" environment, and industrial job I had ever had. The hardest part of the job was having to swing a maul to open and close valves. Almatis taught me how to walk down the plant, how to learn the different flows and processes of the plant. A typical day at Almatis is not your typical day to day at any other job. The work is strenuous and difficult. The plant is old, so everything is manual for the most part. I learned how to run a Control Board, swapping pumps, how to take samples of various things from caustic strength to mud samples, density, and the process of turning bauxite into alumina. I enjoyed most of my coworkers. I worked many many hours of overtime and moved up very quickly there.

Would be a much better place to work if the union was decertified.  As it is now, there is a very negative union-company relationship.  A large part of this is due from retaliatory behavior from parts of the union.  This has created more hardship than good.  This “leadership” condones inappropriate behavior.  If you are an honest, hard-worker the company will treat you right; however, you will be looked down on by the union.  If you do apply, fo not let any union official steer you wrong.  Ask questions and talk to others.  If you give an honest day’s effort, you will get an honest day’s pay and job security.  

This place is a very toxic place to work, management (if you want to call it that) is so dysfunctional, they love drama and moral is non-existent. There are about 3 people in the office that actually care about employees on the floor, the current Plant manager has 0 communication skills and has absolutely no control of his employees, I highly recommend not working here, very bad for your mental health, they took away all the bonuses from hourly employees and divvyed it up amongst themselves, no work incentives whatsoever, terrible place to work!

What is the best part of working at the company?
Extremely poor upper management. They want you to meet production levels, but fail at fixing equipment for months on end. Pay is descent if you don’t mind doing the person’s work that you follow, a lot of lazy employees and the supervisors fail to hold the accountable.

Punching in daily and working behind lazy employees.

They claim safety, however you’ll hardly ever see the safety representatives in the plant.

Running like crazy trying to get equipment operating properly.

Worked in Neville Island plant as labor filling various bags with alumina powder in hot outdated facility every time you make a suggestion they shoot it down every attempt to accomplish a task is criticized coworkers are incompetent most between the ages of 18 + 25 definitely a physically young man's job 12 hours a day 4 days a week climbing inside of machinery NO air cooling system NO air filtration system this is a job the Chinese can gladly have

I packaged and cleaned up material. I've learned how to run a lot of heavy machinery and fork lifts and cranes. The management was ok besides the fact that they never praised their hard working employees.  My coworkers were all good personally, but the majority of them were lazy.  The hardest part of the job was watching the lazy workers get the praise, and also health concerns because of the constant alumina dust in the air that you can't help but breathe in.  The most enjoyable part of the job was the pay.

Almatis is by and large, a nice place to work that very rarely lays off workers. The work intensity is mostly medium to heavy, based on product demans.
