Hands on expeirience,upper management has idea what actually goes on,or how processes are executed in day today production.They have no idea of who the people are,who actually work for them.They manage through "Policy" making,and people manipulation.

Management is the worst I've ever seen
Review from Operations Dept
Middle and upper management are in their own little world, HR is terrible, bad managers and engineers are rehired, good people trying to move up are blown off.
Review from Operations Dept
Following through. Planning. Maintenance. Attitude towards employees.training
Review from Operations Dept
Alcoa is a very old fashioned company and that is a good thing in some ways, but it is not great for women, minorities or younger employees.
Stop the micro-managing and use common sense. Develope a better preventative maintenance program. Develope proactive mentality instead of reactive mentalities. It would save millions on maintenance costs.
Review from Operations Dept
Respecting employees, creating a sense of unity. Managers need to be held accountable for their teams and themselves.
Review from Operations Dept
HR Manager "Globle" and Operations Manager, Maintenance had a meeting over pay and classification. She said i made a mistake, what am I suppose to do, call Pittsburg and tell them I made a mistake, hows going to make me look.
Review from Operations Dept
Positive, focus on equal not totals be assertive not aggressive
Review from Operations Dept
They fail to utilize our talent in our company. People are put in leadership based on qoata, not skills. Hiring someone off the street instead of promoting a veteran in house
Review from Product Dept
Managing and not working people to death. The job isn’t hard but nobody deserves to work 64 hours a week.
Review from Operations Dept
leadership lacks vision, they struggle to see beyond 30 days out. leadership is NOT vested in the employees, only their own self interest
