Do not work here!
Welder/Fabricator (Former Employee), Nanticoke, ON – April 25, 2013
This is where tradesmen and women come to lose all self respect! I've worked for USLess steel for the last 6 Years! You will be disrespected, and suffer some of the work working conditions you can imagine, and heaven forbid if you cut you finger! Do not work here.

Interesting Job. Terrible: conditions, pay, management and job advancement opportunities,
Utilities Operator (Former Employee), Lake Erie Works, Nanticoke ON – July 15, 2012
Pros: interesting job, massive industrial facility.
Cons: everything else.
I cannot not say enough bad things about this company. The only trades people that should consider this place are people with no experience or no other option. This company has no interest in investing in their employees. Do not expect any help with advancement. Getting them to sign off on your experience time will be like pulling teeth. The draconian – more... actions of the company as a whole will quickly poison your attititude and it will take years to go away. The place is freezing in the winter, sweltering in the summer and absolutly polluted every day.

I did enjoy my job day to day job, but the company made the work enviroment unbearable. The pay definatly does not compensate for amount of pollution you encounter on a day to day basis. – less

Tough environment
RCO Tech 1 (Current Employee), Ecorse, MI – June 10, 2013
Pros: decent pay
Cons: turnover per department
Tough environment. Work day is tough. Co-workers are great. Employee moral is noticeably low. Most enjoyable part of the job are the people I work with. Management is not the best.

If your married with children expect to divorce them as this company will become your new found love
Management (Current Employee), IN – May 8, 2013
Pros: pay in management includes salary plus overtime, great safety program
Cons: too many to name
Not a good place for Engineers especially in management. Very outdated technology and very little engineering. No work/life balance at all. No structure for promotions. Your career and future lies in the hands of the bargaining unit. They run the company.

Very productive environment with a welcoming culture
Quality Assurance Engineer (Current Employee), Lorain, OH – April 11, 2013
Pros: excellent insurance and benefits
Cons: overtime worked is not paid ot.
Everyday has something new to offer. My responsibilities are very challenging which makes the job rewarding. In one year that I have been in my position, I have not had any two days be exactly the same. I really enjoy working for U.S.Steel and would highly recommend anyone interested in working for U.S.Steel. I have learned a plethora of information – more... while here from ,OCTG specs to new tricks on Excel. My Co-workers are all mostly pleasant to work with. They are part of what makes work interesting. The hardest part of the job is trying to fit 25 hours into a 24 hour day. There are just too many responsibilities and not enough time. The most enjoyable part of the job is when something gets done and you get recognized. – less

A very enjoyable, and challenging place to work.
Induction heating technician (Former Employee), Lone Star, TX – April 2, 2013
Pros: the best job i every had.
Cons: hot
I maintained 30 induction heating units. 24 of these units were over 30 years old that required the induction heating technicians to repair the old surface mount circuit boards. The other 6 units had new intergrated circuit boards that we changed out the entire board if it failed. My co-workers were very knowledgeable in the repair of the induction – more... heating units, and they taught me a lot. The hardest part of the job was the ambiant heat in which we had to work, but the most enjoyable was the challange of the job. – less

Great Pay, but no life.
Utility Tech (Former Employee), Ecorse, MI – March 24, 2013
Pros: pay & benefits
Cons: management, work schedule and quality of life.
Worked there for 15 years and upper management was terrible! Treated employees with no respect, with no room for advancement. Most of the jobs required rotating shiftwork, which takes years off your life. If you value spending time with your family and having a life, this is NOT the place for you to work.

If you don't want a lfe work here
sales (Former Employee), pittsburgh pa – February 14, 2013
Pros: benefits
Cons: everything. see above managment is horrible
If you want to work in a place that degrades you, demands your time no matter what you are doing, calls you in on vacation time, and yells at you this is the place to work. They only promote the people that have no experience in management and not the ones that have degrees go find another place to interview they are behind the times
I got my 30 years – more... and out along with alot of my other co workers. Management works too long and is burned out and can't see the light of day for new ideas – less

When your relief doesnt show up you are are stuck doing their shift right after your own 8 hour shift which happens very often. Management has no clue how to actually manage.

Physical labor, hard work and demanding
Safety Team/Utility Technician (Former Employee), Gary, IN – February 14, 2013
Pros: automobile purchases were discounter
Cons: shift work and no union representation
I would work as either a laborer on the Blast furnace or as a train operator in any type of weather conditions. I was also chosen to become a member of the Safety Team. This gave me the opportunity to rewrite and prepare the new safe job procedures for the new blast furnace. The hardest part of the job was the shift work and overtime. The most enjoyable – more... part was that I was chosen to go the Pittsburgh and learn about new equipment so that I would be able to write the new safety procedures for the furnace. – less
