What is the best part of working at the company?
The costumers you meet along the way

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Being treated as if you were not human

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The management and higher The management and higher ups don't care about you and cover up for themselves. They don't do anything to help you succeed and put up fronts in order to look good. They have meetings with each other and only gossip about other employees and talk about where they want to go golfing on the weekend. They all act as if they are better and smarter than you and give off a bad energy/tension when they are around you. I have seen great and potentially great employees leave one by one throughout the course of almost 3 years because they don't treat them with respect. The pay is not good and they aren't interested in acknowledging their employees for the work that they do. They pretend to give you good bonuses at the end of the year but the reality is it's because the raises are 10 cents a year, so they deceive you and act as if they are so great, all the while making loads of money off of the good work you do for them (and not to mention the small details). You cannot count on HR or anyone on top levels for help because they seem like amatuers with no experience or understanding of their jobs. They as well, also cover up for the company and don't help with any serious matters. They let their employees get abused PHYSICALLY and PSYCHOLOGICALLY by their managers but only care when you get hurt on a machine for example, because they worry about OSHA getting on their case. They invoke bad behaviour and don't try to help you in anyway that doesn't benefit them. Literally the most unprofessional company I have ever worked with. I would consider what I said an absolute understatement on my own behalf and they should be ashamed of themselves. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Meeting great costumers and trying to serve them the best way possible, all the while getting harrassed by a manager who sits on his phone all day and cusses, throws objects at the walls, physically hurts you and gets in your face.

Working 12 hour shifts. Soon as we click in have a morning meeting about what product we were running for the day or week. Learning what percentage of different materials we needed to get loaded up. What I learned was what different scraps  did and hoped out with the product we were running. Had the opportunity to learn different types of machinery we worked with on a daily basis. Learned to time witch cars wood be unloaded first and last. Management was ok I would say. It was either do it there way or not. Never took shortcuts due to get a job done faster. SAFETY was our main priority and t h.g.h e safety of my coworkers.  Everybody had a great attitude on the job site,  really couldnt let other or personal problems get in the way of the job or somebody would get hurt. Coworkers listened and helped each other with getting the job done safely and right. U would say the hardest part was being there almost 24/7 and not getting enough rest, and when a personal problem would occur,  higher up managment did not want to help or hear about it. All they could ask is, are you gonna be hear no matter what. Took away time from my wife and children  working both days and nights. When we expressed that to them , they had the attitude of We Don't Care , none of that matters to us. The only thing that matters is you doing your paid shift and you being here on your days off, with only one day to rest. What I do miss are the brothers I made there working together and the great environment we had working together . Helping each other out so we can do the next job, sitting back when we could and converse.

Every day is a new adventure full of exciting problems and interactions. While working here I learned a plethora of valuable soft skills that put me ahead of other candidates in my field. The work is tough and demanding on the body, mind, and character; but by working here you learn to become an unstoppable force.

People here care about you as long as you are willing to show that you care about them and the work at hand. The workplace culture was not the best at first, but it is changing and heading in a very positive direction. Here, bonds between co-workers can feel almost as strong as bonds between family members, but you HAVE to be willing to put in the work. 

The hardest part of the job is probably the ability to balance work and outside life. It is possible and some are able to manage it, but it is difficult. Production is non-stop and you need to know that when you don't do your job someone else suffers. Everything works on a timer and you need to run with the time otherwise you fall behind; falling behind leads to late days, working weekends, etcetera. 

The most enjoyable part of the job is satisfaction in knowing that what you do matters. You are a contributor and what you do adds value to the mill and what the mill produces adds value to the country and the world. The people you work with are some of the most interesting characters and the bonds you forge by overcoming obstacles are unbreakable.

Definitely a very good first experience for any recent graduates, but do expect to put in a lot of time, work, and effort from the start. 

Our location was an acquisition. We were previously Tendon Systems. There have been a lot of role outs for new systems, and everything is completely disorganized and chaotic. Our work environment, at least at our location, is extremely high stress right now. Our location management is great, but the things coming down from higher up and corporate are what is causing the most issues. The pay is extremely low for market average, and it is not something they will negotiate at all. They try to pay out bonuses every year. Hourly 5% twice per year of the amount made in the past 6 months (including OT) and salary 10% once per year of your salary. I believe this year for salary was about 7.3%.  The one thing they definitely have going for them are their benefits which are fantastic. I think it's 2 weeks PTO until 5 years, and after 5 years, you get 3 weeks. After 10 years, you get 4 weeks of PTO. I could be wrong, but I do think that is the cap. They have something called the lifestyle benefit that reimburses you up to $500 per year for health wealth and wellbeing things. That can range from workout equipment to getting your nails done to park passes and even spa memberships and or massages.  Overall, I gave them 2 stars because the benefits are great and the paycheck is steady, but it is a super stressful environment that is being felt by all at our location. At CMC, it truly feels that you are just a number and are easily replaceable. I do truly hope this gets better over time, but at this point, I'm not feeling too optimistic. 

I worked there for 6 months.
The 'cool people club' was kind of annoying.
I would  try to get supplies from the supply room and it was common for them to not have things in stock. Despite having a half dozen suppliers in the area it would still take a month just to get a hack saw blade - I had to cut PVC pipe for some chemicals plumbing and I had to use electrical wire to cut the pipe, just ridiculous.
Tools; if you were the right person you could have tools, otherwise you would have to supply your own (drill, hole saws, etc) tools in the store room were most often broken/in disrepair.
I remember a manger refusing to follow instructions while he was operating a crane, another man's hands could have easily been crushed.
Overall an unsafe place to work. Several years ago a man was burned 90% of his body with 3rd degree burns - to this day you still cannot find a leak bottle anywhere in the place (to check torches).
Had to wire a new machine (large process water filter) was given wrong instructions, had to wire it again (24 vdc wire HAD to be blue, not 'whatever you can find (black)'
Hire inexperienced people (one guy I'm thinking of had trouble using wrenches correctly).
They have people assigned to Safety training positions, 90% of their day consists of sleeping in an office.
A couple times I saw the Efficiency/Lean Dept guys use a $25k laser aligner, when done their last step was to bolt down the pump.

This is by far the worst maintenance job I have ever worked for. Management has no clue how to professionally run a business. The only thing that matters is steel out the door. Any progression in your career is rare, raises only come once a year in the form of “performance raises” but that is just another word for “cost of living increase.” Even then, the benefit costs increase every year almost nulling out your raise. The bonus each year is based off of the entire company as a whole (including the Poland mill) so it doesn’t matter how many records you break at your mill. They will always tell you the company is “cyclical” and worldly factors play a role in your bonus. There is no cohesion amongst mills so you can forget about any standard method of operation. Safety is only a priority on the surface but when you get into the trenches it is far from the forefront. There is no communication amongst departments so from a maintenance standpoint good luck communicating any changes or problems that may come up. They will pay multiple people for one position for years while they “retire” and turn around and RARELY if ever give out of cycle raises to employees doing well. Lastly, accountability. There is absolutely zero accountability here. People have the ability to simply not try, say they don’t know, or do the absolute bare minimum. No matter how much you want to make a difference it always ends up being a case of let no good deed go unpunished. As stated in the title, I wouldn’t recommend this place to my worst enemy. 

The benefits and pay were decent but they over work you and treat each other like garbage. I was told a different pay rate when I interviewed than when I got the call letting me know I got the job. On the first day of employment I was investigated by management about two other employees that had got into an altercation in which I played no role in. Management was not flexible when I encountered a serious family emergency and then went back on it after I put my two-week notice in. The guy whom I took most of the direction from there would erroneously tell me to do a task and then come back and chew me out after that task had been completed. He would come into my department yelling and throwing doors as if the job itself wasn't stressful enough, much less his mistake. You are expected to do a fast-paced job on a time sensitive schedule for a job that was originally designated for two people and you are belittled if you make a rectifiable mistake, even if that mistake isn't your own. On your final day of your two-weeks they will let you go before the shift starts as a "we let you go, not you quit on us." I was there two months after getting hired on and while the job could have been suitable for me, I felt that I had compromised far too much for the pay and the treatment I was receiving there. Management focuses too much on what employees do outside of work and not enough on what happens on premises --> and no I never came into work hung over. Would definitely not recommend this place until they let some bad apples go.

As a DOT Trailer mechanic (the position doesn't really exist anymore; they are "upping" the requirements/expectations,) I'd show up to work, check in with the lead mechanic, and, basically, do what needed to be done.

I learned so much there. I learned more there in my two and a half months working there than, probably, than over two years at my prior employer. The biggest thing I learned is I need to step up my wrench-turning skills. I'm doing that in my current employer's role for me.

My particular management was fine. She had high expectations that she felt that I didn't fulfill. I'm not arguing if this is or isn't correct, but I'm far from done trying to learn and get better.

The hardest part of the job was, well, the drive for me. I worked from 7 a.m.-4:30-ish, Monday-Friday. I had to wake up at 5:15, start driving by around 6 and drive an hour at varying speeds. It wasn't that fun.

The learning environment was intoxicating at times, but great for the most part. The pay and benefits are also outstanding.

Working at Commercial Metals has been a great place to increase my knowledge in a number of different things like: Capitol Expense planning, Business planning, financial reporting, and human resources. The day always goes by faster than expected due to the face pace business. From dealing with customer needs/complaints, to assisting team members to broaden their horizon to advance with in the company it was defiantly a job that I enjoyed.
    Management was very supportive in the growth of the employees, customer service, and a team driven goal system. They communicated goals, ask for our input, and then we would collaborate to achieve our goals as one. 
    The culture was treating everyone with dignity and respect all of the time, and they stood behind it with an ethics hotline that employees could call in anonymously to report a complaint. It was a very diverse group, which worked well together.
    The hardest part of my job would be terminating someone. I have been with CMC for awhile, and hate seeing someone with true potential just let it go to waste. Then I think about the hardship that the family will endeavor, and  hope they find a path in life that they can excel in. 
     My favorite thing would be team building activities, and watching an employee promote up with the company. I enjoy watching employees set goals, and work to achieve them.
