United States Steel Employer Reviews

I learned very valuable information by working for a large corporation and gained confidence in my abilities to succeed in a fast paced work environment.

This place is bad bad bad. they arent eco friendly even though they try to be. Its all just a front. they fire you for no reason and then make stuff up about it. they lie cheat and belittle there employees. I worked there for a year and got fired for nothing.

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 Very outdated technology and very little engineering.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.

Union are great ensure we work safely daily basic.

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

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

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.

-repair and maintenance within the three mills
-production was 24/7 and crews covered all three shifts
-basic crews consisted of millwrights and lube engineers unless involved in an overhaul or major break down, in which time other crew members were added, consisted of plumbers, electricians, laborers and riggers

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.

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

Don't Trust Anyone! Back stab and leave you for dead in a heart beat.

This place was a very good place to work. The pay was great... but the work could be dangerous if not careful..

Learned how to take a responsible worker and learned some skills that I unfortunately was not able to use later

A stable work environment
Excellent career development
Nice co-workers
24/7 job responsibilities

Busy place to work, lots of over time, great benefits, industrial environment.

It was a job at the time i had money coming would I do it again no
The company was not professional they did not care about the workers

I was very young when I worked fro U S Steel, people watched over me as this was a underground coal mine and had it's hazards.

They hire you and place you where needed, regardless of experience. If you open your mouth about anything they want to fire you even about safety issues. Every safety meeting I attended started off with "Do you have anything?" As if I had been there and know what took place since I left the previous day. And one last thing.... if you have a family, – more... you will never see them. So don't work here unless you have to... – less

a typical day is a 12hr work day, 7am - 7pm, or 7pm - 7am. 30 min lunch in between. i learned that protecting yourself and others in hazardous work areas and everyday activities, is very important. an individual,no matter what the circumstances can never afford to lose his/her life or limb. management, no comment. the hardest part of the job, is working – more... the longer hours and adjusting to the shift change in less than a 24hr period. the most enjoyable part is having the benefits and insurance for yourself and your family at reasonably low cost. including dental and vision. and not having to worry about living from check to check, or how you're going to pay expensive medical bills – less
