Pros

Overall a good company to work for, good benefits and lots of work.

Cons

As a safety manager too large of an area to cover for one safety man. Area to be covered West Texas which included 1 recycling yard and a construction store in El Paso, two recycling yards in Odessa, one recycling yard in Lubbock and a construction store and one construction store in Amarillo. Extensive amount of driving and lots of wear and tear on personal vehicle.

Pros

The company pays you very well. This way you can't afford to leave when you become obsolete and they effectively turn you into a slave to your work.

Cons

No culture, no investment in employees, no growth opportunity, high school management atmosphere, and a huge amount of people who get promoted by politics or nepotism without performance. Run far away!
