Pros

This is an astounding statement considering the company rid itself of most of the "long-term" (3-30 years) back in 2011-2012 who worked 50-80 hours weeks. Based on the recency of reviews nothing has (ironically) changed with all the newbies.

Cons

This company has a pervasive cultural issue that starts with the senior management. The executive staff isn't there to serve the people and make them better as in most progressive companies; it's the other way around. So until that (ironically) changes this company will be at the mercy of glass door and social media pundits in general as well as the increasing Schnitzer diaspora.

Radius Recycling Response

First, thank you so much for your heartfelt feedback. As a company that is reliant upon healthy overseas economies we, like many companies, had to make some very difficult decisions to ensure the long term health of our organization. With that said, we are proud of and dedicated to the 3,000+ employees of Schnitzer Steel. We will strive to improve and continue to celebrate those employees. We are excited to celebrate the 125 employees who have been with us for more than 25 years, and particularly the 8 employees who have been with us for more than 40 years. We wish you continued success in your career.

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.
