LOGAN ALUMINUM

Politics. Teamwork. Family or friends. Outsider. You're screwed. You better have friends or family to pull you through. Done well through most of it. You have to play the game. Takes days to get through the process of getting hired. Can take weeks to get hired. No composition. They think they are God.  If you don't have friends and family all ready there. You are most likely doomed. The test, interviews, and a day where you are feeling warm about the place. You go through some simple, who are you in a group session? Tour the plants. Pretty cool. Then you get through the team scenarios. Better know production and human resources. Have you built legos when you were a kid? Better start. You have about 4 people who are judging you. Can't talk to them. Not allowed. Intimidation. Walking around with notepads. Not a word is said. They keep writing and making you nervous. Most know what to do. Like they were told how to act. Maybe because their dad or uncle worked there. Odd! Act. Like it's your high school musical. More drama the better. Play it load. It's a joke. They will only hire who they want. More than likely family or friends. Buddy system. Then they introduce their selves as being Logan Aluminum elitists. 20-30 years veterans. Smear it in your face. Even if you have that many years somewhere who company moved to another country. But they are better than you. Team, they call it.  That's why they have how many family members you have working here on the application. If you have 0 you are screwed. It's good money if you can make it. Good luck. Don't feel bad if they pass you up. You just weren't part of the team. Acting lessons might help get on. Be excited when you interview. You have to be A TEAM PLAYER!!!!! #1

Low management, teams manage themselves.  Excellent pay.  I worked either the dock or packing line.  On the dock, I would load trucks according to order utilizing either overhead crane or extra large forktruck. (2 piece loads=40,000 lbs)  Inventory management, computer programs and SAFETY procedures.  The line consisted of running the crane to load the line and follow customer requirements to finish packaging requests.  Every person on the team represented a company focus each year; quality, safety,  production, HR or wellness.  You would then attend meetings and relay appropriate information to your team and manage the functions for your team to upper personnel.

I liked working at Logan because of the life lessons and culture ( the workers will call you out on your BS and wont tolerate horse play ). It is a as relaxed as an environment could be under the aggravated moving parts of the process. The work is hot and dangerous ppe and safety are of paramount importance. Making safe choices by stopping and thinking before proceeding is a necessary part of the culture. the Hours are difficult to get used to, swing shift and long weekends but the overtime is worth it. The people are salt of the earth and I wish I had done a better job for them unfortunately I was not prepared . I like the speech about the frog and learning to fold shirts.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Pay and benefits.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Extreme heat 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Team based environment. Teams make the daily decisions necessary to keep production moving with input from staff personnel 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Team meetings for first 30 minutes of shift and then to the production floor to receive shift turnover from previous team. Check the status of the casting line if’s casting or in ‘turn around’ mode. Monitor temperatures of molten aluminum during cast. Pull ingots with overhead crane at cast end. Prepare caster for next cast

 Amazing people work here. Extremely team based, my team is family to me. High expectations that are not typically required at other places. As an operator you are in charge of hiring, interviewing, handling timesheets, managing vacation schedules and creating and conducting peer appraisals for advancement. You are a deciding factor in whether your team mates get their salary increases, which is great until it’s not. You are expected to handle personnel issues that HR would typically handle. You are expected to attend meetings on your off days and take a lot of work home with you working on mandatory projects. 

Overall a good place to work. Benefits and pay are great. Work life balance can be strained due to swing shifts. Overtime isn't to bad, but do expect it from time to time. Benefits start day one of new hire. Everything is handled within your team's and open communication is a must. Seniority is not a problem and everyone has a valid and open space to provide input or ideas. Very hands on environment. You are not stuck in on position every night. Rotation of jobs and cross training is a very important aspect of the job. Overall a very good culture to work in.

A modern aluminum casting, rolling and processing mill. As a metal processor plant well maintained, clean and safe.
Ample opportunity, freedom and resources to solve problems.
Good workforce with team environment.
Fair compensation. 
Small town environment.

At Logan, you're expected to put your best foot forward. Their hiring process is stringent for a reason; they only want the best. Be prepared for a swing shift, and expect to work in one place for a long period of time.

My 25 year employment with Logan Aluminum has been very gratifying and rewarding as I have advanced to the management level in supervising more than 140 technicians in skills of maintenance, team administrative duties, and safety while maintaining the reliability of the site's operating machine centers and ancillaries.

It’s a great job I loved doing the work that was required of me to do. Great benefits, great pay , and plenty of time off when needed. It is team oriented so you and your team makes most of the decisions.  But in order to get your raises you have to be a kiss butt . And that’s not something I’m comfortable with.
