Pros

The pros are for their competitors. They get to employ all the expirinced ex schnitzer employees as they expand where schnitzer shrivels.

Cons

In one year I worked under 4 managers and 5 assistant managers. I was trying to move to the area that we worked in but couldn't get a wage that would sustain even rent in Ft MacMurray. They made no benefit for me to move there, even though my offer would save them 2000$ a month in expenses. I quit because I only spent 14 days in my own bed that year. The rest was time spent away from family. One of their core values. We moved an average of 5000 tons per month now the numbers are 2000 tons per month and the latest I've herd is they are pulling out. Poor management from top to bottom in Canada. And even poorer direction from the American dictator ship that has hamstrung the company's they bought with terrible direction and changes to a system that worked.

Pros

The pay, but in the end not worth a terrible work environment. Management continues to speak of investment in employees while they continue to do layoffs and routine organizational changes resulting in zero stability and zero confidence from employees.

Cons

Almost everything. Human resource management completely contrary to what the title stands for as is CEO's 'dedication' to those that work here. Her management style directly reflected by senior and junior management staff resulting in depressed, unhappy and unmotivated morale.

Thank you for your honest review. Though painful to read, it's important for us to hear. With that said, have you discussed your concerns with your HRBP? We encourage you to do so. The only way we can affect change is by knowing what you are experiencing.

Pros

I have been told by hr that we have good life insurance.

Cons

As the Senior Human Resources Specialist said, “The challenges of the market have limited the bonus pool over the last few years.” They are right since I only got a lousy $.30 raise this year. What makes it worse is that our CEO made over $11 MILLION DOLLARS this year! My boss said we all received small raises b/c our company was doing badly. But our CEO got a $5.5 million bonus. I agree with other reviews about the good old boys club with the company. Also it’s suspicious that when the company began replying to posts that is the same time when there were 5 star reviews! Too bad Schnitzer Steel doesn’t spend that time helping employees rather than weird attempt to improve there rating!!

First, thank you for commenting. It is true we are dealing with market conditions that are less than favorable, and yes that does affect all aspects of the organization. Second, there is no coordinated effort to improve our ratings. It's an interesting theory, but is not the case. We are replying because we are aware of the challenges we face and how it reflects upon the organization. Change is not always easy and it takes time. We are working to make Schnitzer a better organization for our employees and our customers.
