ArcelorMittal

Overall my experience with ArcelorMittal was okay. There is something new everyday. Depending on where you work you will be expected to work at least 45 hours a week, not including outages which are generally 2 times a year where you will put in 12-16 hours everyday for at least 1-4 weeks depending on projects. You will not get overtime until at least 50 hours and even then it is only straight pay. Though the salary is competitive but it losses value in working crazy overtime hours. I saw over 95 hours a week my last outage for 1 month. To me losing 40 hours of pay for that whole month is very unappealing. Recently they have leaned toward gathering new talent by trying to sweeten the deal for the younger crowd with more raises and longer vacations. Though you will always be on call and you should be expected to be called on vacation. The job is pretty much secure as long as you do not cause harm to anyone. They will also help you move to different positions if you want assuming you work there long enough and show enough passion. They also will take care of their own if anything ever goes downhill and are forced to close a plant or line. Management is okay but there is a lot of inexperienced people since it is very hard to find specific people that are qualified for certain positions. Engineers are forced to be supervisors. Young engineers, like myself, are not in best position since they do not know as much both in the field, and how to deal with 50 year olds who act like children especially if you do not want to be a supervisor at all. If you are not thick skinned this place is not for you. Pretty much everyone acts like they are still hanging out with their high school friends and the atmosphere is very casual.

Great paying job with Awesome benefits! It’s 7 days a week but it was clearly explained in my interview if you didn’t want 7 days a week all year ,every year ,you shouldn’t take the job offer! Health insurance is outstanding and cheap compared to past employers . Union stands up for fair treatment but doesn’t support lazy people which is a plus in my opinion. I can’t speak for other departments managers but I couldn’t ask for a better manager. I plan to retire from here. I don’t have a lot of family time but I can definitely provide an Awsome life for them , and the time I do get to spend with them is that much more precious and valuable because it doesn’t happen often. A lot of people that complain here obviously has never had a hard job in there life or they wouldn’t be complaining. But I will agree with statements saying being bounced from shift to shift weekly and department to department weekly really sucks and should be evaluated and fixed! And I also feel there could be a rotation offering people who would like a weekend off a month or so an opportunity to do so and people who wish not to have a weekend off could sign up for other jobs , or something to that effect  . All in all I wish I would have started here much sooner, not many places offer a pension anymore and the 401k match is nice . I work a lot but my wife and kids are living more than very comfortable and get to enjoy life and that’s all that matters to me personally. If they are happy I’m happy . This job can be very dangerous and requires complete awareness to your surroundings so it’s understandable why they do a urine test and a hair test for drugs . I’m 100% satisfied with my job ! 

I was hired as a project engineer for the Steelton plant.  During the interview I was show at a more modern mill by an engineer that ran developed and ran projects at the plant.  After moving there, getting an apartment and doing all my new hire/management training I was shown the mill I would be working at.  It was a vary neglected mill.  The walls for the furnace were collapsing, many of the rollers for transporting material were in need of replacement.  A lot of the electrical controls were old relay logic from the 1930s. Many of the cranes had crumbling stairs and uncovered electrical boxes that required electricians to stand next to the 40 foot fall to look at.  I was then told I would be a maintenance foreman and not really an engineer.  I complained and was told I could stay after 10 hrs of work to do engineering...

I immediately I tried to repair and fix these major safety hazards.  All of my plans to fix them were either shot down because of the costs or down time by my area manager.

Some of my employees rightfully complained about the safety hazards around the mill.  I was asked to participate in reprisal disciplinary action.  Such as writing people up for perform safety assessments before a job instead of going straight in and getting hurt.  Later that manager deliberately input a lower amount of hours he worked.

ArcelorMittal Global Assurance offered me vast amounts of exposure which enabled me to perform audits and sox reviews in various mining operations. Although my primary location was ArcelorMittal Liberia, i also had an opportunity to perform reviews in Mexico Mines, USA and Luxembourg. Most of my days at work were characterised by high pressure to complete audit plan and deliver audit reports with high impact issues and recoveries. This , i managed to achieve through my time management ability including the ability to work under immense pressure with no supervision. I worked in an environment with diverse cultures including working with multiple nationalities.

The hardest part of my Job was to change the perception of some managers that audit was not there to make their work and lives difficult but to aid business success through being a valuable business partner that delivers value through improved control environment. However after serious engagements and proof through findings, recoveries and avoided leakages, most of them ended up greatly appreciating the work of an internal auditor.

The most enjoyable part of my job was achieving a recovery from a review. The best moment of my work was when my thorough analytical review of a projects EPCM contract resulted in a recovery of approximately US$1 Million which the company had paid due to supposedly wrong in accurate billing by contractor.

Management oversells the plant, and then puts it squarely on the backs of the employees to sell off their rights to have any weekends or any kind of life for that matter. Several employees suffer from “burnout”, and have endured this work regimen for so long that they wouldn’t know what to do without Arcelormittal’s everyday intrusion into their lives. The job just keeps coming at you, nonstop! Management expects tenured employees to “break in” other employees on various jobs, assigning them one more duty to their already tedious, exhausting workload. The training that you receive from your fellow employees is subpar to say the least; it’s not even ample at best. Then again, it’s hard to take direction from an individual who puts little to no effort into explaining what the job entails, all while berating and belittling  you for making a mistake as they sit totally engrossed in social media or whatever other entertainment their phone is providing. Pay and benefits are good however, the trade off is the constant intrusion of your job, in your life literally, everyday. The Union there is absolutely useless; they choose to play patty cake with the company, constantly making one concession after another. Plenty of overtime available, if you want to add to your bank account and your nonexistent life to be able to enjoy any of your efforts.

Shift differential is only  .30 & .40. per hour. You will work off-shifts for about 10 years before you can hold a bad day job. Jobs are somewhat easy to learn. Insurance is about $90 a week with a high deductible. Union dues avg. $90 a month. Pay range is $20-27 plus avg quarterly profit sharing around $500. WORK IS MANDATORY 7 DAYS A WEEK!!!!
1 wk. of Vac. @ 1 yrs. 2 wk. @ 3 yrs. 3 wk. @ 9 yrs. 4 wk. @ 17 yrs. 5 wk. @ 25 yrs. No sick days or p.t.o. You often don't get covered taking individual days of vacation or you will need to cover your counter parts on the other shifts and beg or pay them to cover you when you want to use vacation. So did you really get vacation if you give back all those hours covering other people?
We have a pension which I'm glad about but your overtime(500+ per yr.) doesn't count towards it.
The pay adds up with most hourly making 70-100k a year but it comes at a cost. They are having trouble hiring decent people now because people don't want to work their life away anymore. Supervisors aren't bad cause they are stuck here 7 days a week too. Co-workers are decent but their is a lot of gossip and negativity. Alcoholism and mental illnesses is rampant.
 I've been here about 20 years and regret staying past 5 years because it's taken a toll on me. Good luck and beware of what you have to look forward to working here.

This place is amazing with thier plantation mentality. All they try to do is drive employees in the ground. They do not care about you as a person always denying doctor's slips, making you work 7 days a week year around and God forbid you want a day off to spend with your family. On average you will get around 14 days off a year that is all. While upper management gets every weekend off. There are plenty of ways to give your employees days off every week such as rotating crews for instance. You can still run your factory 7 days a week without sending people to thier early grave. The HR DEPARTMENT thinks they are running a prison force or death camp always trying to punish you for things that you thought was covered or taken care of. They are shady at best. The number of people who have had heart attacks or strokes while working here is astonishing. I wonder why? Maybe because they get no time off to relax with thier loved ones or let thier body and mind recharge. And when your forced to work every day of your life you have to deal with being treated like a piece of garbage. They steal your money by taking away your profit sharing and your life by making you work as if they own you. Please stay away from this place if you want any kind of life.

Has a clear path to advancement, standardized pay across the company for the same position, regardless of performance. Unfortunately, retention is a problem for a variety of reasons. Compensation is "average" for the industry, but does not account for some of the detractors- primarily location.

Being salaried and working with the local unions can be a problem- these specific labor unions have a habit of protecting employees, regardless of performance, and this can reduce morale across the entire division. Especially since advancement is based on seniority more than ability.

In my small group of about a dozen- I couldn't ask for a better group of engineers to work with. There is a gap between the older and younger generation, due to a years-long hiring freeze, but there is a culture of mentoring the next generation and developing them into competent engineers. I cannot say this is the same for all departments- it may be worse, on average.

I would prefer a less urban location, but this is not a consideration for most people.

It is a steel mill, so expect dirt, grease, and coarse language when near production.

I started working in the steel industry in 1977 when the culture was a mans world.  I worked hard and made a name for myself. I had no typical days at work. They varied from work preformed such as operating an overhead crane to quality checking products, unloading and logging in delivered parts, entering data in the computer, giving safety meetings, customer service, ordering materials and making sure that everyone was paid correctly, and general factory clean up.  The hardest part of the job was working a different shift every week. It was extremely hard to work 16 hour shifts when your relief called off.  You always had a smile on your face when pay day rolled around due to all the OT pay.  The hardest part of my job was being a divorced single mother trying to raise my young daughter and working the swing shifts. The most enjoyable part of my job was pushing myself, striving to be the best I could be at all the jobs I learned to do.  I, not only proving to myself but to others that I was a survivor and always would be able to handle life any way that it was dealt to me.  Many life lessons were incorporated din my career.

I had the incredible opportunity to work at AM JV in their Tailored Welded Blank division, specifically focusing on laser welding. My time at AM JV was not only enjoyable but also incredibly educational. I was fortunate to be surrounded by a team of dedicated and talented individuals who were not only passionate about their work but also eager to share their knowledge.The experience I gained during my tenure at AM was invaluable. The meticulous attention to detail and commitment to quality in the tailored welded blank division was truly impressive. I learned so much from my colleagues, and their willingness to mentor and guide me made my time here even more rewarding.I can confidently say that AM is a company that values its employees and fosters a culture of growth and learning. I am grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of this team, and I would highly recommend AM to anyone seeking a dynamic and enriching work environment.
Thank you ArcelorMittal, for a memorable and rewarding experience!
