Pros

Company has great, dedicated employees at the mid-management level (site management to regional directors) and field based support functions. Great benefits package (insurance coverage, low premiums), generous annual PTO balance, 401k match.

Cons

Company has great, dedicated employees at the mid-management level (site management to regional directors) but their input is often overlooked and not requested. Perception is that corporate salaries (non-revenue generating) rise disproportionately to the salaries of the front-line employees who drive revenue as well as adding corporate personnel which increases the overhead costs. Recent layoffs have shaken employees faith in the company and belies the core values. Salaries not competitive.

Cons

Take three minutes and review comments from current and former employees before applying. I have been here for seven years and atmosphere has progressively deteriorated. Schnitzer had a strong operational group when I arrived but as people said two presidents left multimillion dollar job without another job lined up. Think about how bad your boss and job would have to be to walk away from millions. Multiple media outlets highlighted that our CEO lives in Portland, Oregon and that makes sense since headquarters are in Portland, Oregon. Employees know that is untrue and the ceo lives here on the east coast. Question for the company - Does the CEO live in Portland? To summarize, with any corporation management sets the tone at the top and at Schnitzer there is a lack of ethics and appreciation for doing the right thing which trickles down to every level of the company. High turnover and CEO approval rating on this website is representative of those facts.
