Pros

Pays more than Walmart and that's pretty much the only pro in this company

Cons

It's a negative work place all around employees get treated with hardly any respect from upper management and behind closed doors they are continually talking about the employees making negative comments that have no real importance to their work ethic, employees are continually called lazy and unproductive when in reality the management can't give proper instruction or direction to let employees know what they need to get done or provide the proper tools to get the job required done, then complain that nothing gets done when in reality no expectations are communicated. There is little communication between management and staff because they have more important matters to attend to such as stealing company time on the clock using their computers to browse the Internet to search for an upgrade for their personal cell phones or buying themselves personal items for personal use. When during conference calls for management they won't open the door for us to ask questions or provide us with items we need to do our jobs properly. On the occasion upper management from regional or district managers are coming to visit the day before hand all employees are cleaning up messes and making it appear that we have been doing our jobs properly the whole time when in reality we are instructed to do things improperly to save time and meet our unrealistic goals. It seems upon looking at the previous reviews all locations are very similar and something obviously needs to change.

Pros

Hybrid work. Great people, No drama. OT around month end is not crazy. Good work/life balance.

Cons

Recently acquired by Toyota Tsusho so some layoffs and turnover are inevitable. Feeling cautiously optimistic but the transition is still playing out.

Pros

Provides experience working in a rapidly changing and highly controlled environment.

Cons

This is a terrible company to work for. Not only do they constantly change their practices/procedures, they have a lack of transparency for their employees. With several massive waves of lay offs within two years, roles were constantly changing without any proper training. Furthermore, employees who had been with the company for over ten years simply lost access to their computers rather than having a conversation about lay offs. The general lack of consideration for employees is blatant. Not only that, managers (specially west coast directors) are extreme micro managers. They will want to control every decision, from basic reporting files to everyday labor hours, all while being unavailable (refusing to answer phone calls). They will work against you at every opportunity given, truly the worst kind of people. You are not empowered to make decisions, contact your manager, or grow as an employee. They do not value any employee feedback whatsoever. Even as going so far to make drastic changes to documentation storage without consulting those who use it daily. The constant changes are just one minor example of their toxic work environment. They continually penny pinch. The company is not transparent, nor do they care about their employees. Don’t agree with my poor review? Look at the facts: this company has less than 28% of employees recommending it, they have high turnover rates and multiple past employees warned me of these issues during my employment. (If there are multiple people who hate their boss for specific reasons, listen to them. This is not a good person, it is time for retirement). TLDR: Schnitzer Steel dba Radius Recycling is an awful place to work. You are set up to fail. I would not recommend this company to anyone.
