Pros

They have a good culture at Dynamic. The CEO is very kind and likes to gives back to his employees with various additions to benefits and company wide wage increases.

Cons

The manager to employee ratio is a little large and tends to be over managed in some areas. The pay is lower when compared to some other companies and the wage increases are usually quite small.

Thank you for your feedback. Thank you for your kind words regarding our CEO’s giving back; we are pleased to know that you recognize the emphasis placed on our Team Members here at Dynamic Recycling. As with most growing companies, creation of new jobs is frequent, as is creating efficiency. In order to provide the best level of service possible to our Team Members we want to afford each Team Member with management that is accessible and increase efficiency in all areas of business. Our compensation offerings are quite competitive within the markets we operate; however in order to remain competitive we consistently monitor the marketplace and make adjustments as needed. I would encourage you to speak with your manager or People Operations if there are any continued concerns!

Pros

It's a job that ultimately helps the environment.

Cons

Upper Management is extremely religious and uses that to shame/blame people who don't follow their ideology. It's the "good ol' boys" that run the company. The owners' friends, classmates, and church buddies. You have to know someone to get any decent positions. The VP's and head honchos all go back to high school and college, and still act like it!

Thank you for your honest feedback. Dynamic Recycling is dedicated to creating a work environment of high integrity, service and fun and am sorry to hear that your experience at Dynamic Recycling did not match our intentions. We believe that autonomy is extremely important and do our best to foster growth and innovation through freedom of choices. With that said, like most companies, there are specific tasks and duties which each team member must comply; however we are vigilant in not micromanaging our Team Members. While it is true that most often times we see local candidates apply for positions, I’m pleased to say that our Talent Acquisition team has and will continue to identify talent not only in our local area, but also outside of our area bringing talent and resources to the La Crosse area. If you would like to share any further information please email me at hr@dynamicrecycling.com so that we can schedule a time to talk. Thank you again for your feedback as it helps us make Dynamic Recycling a better place to work by continually improving.

Pros

You get paid weekly. Offices are air conditioned. Candy bowl comes out on Thursdays

Cons

Strangely religious organization. The CEO sometimes includes Bible verses in a daily email to all employees. Micromanaging is within the company culture; they watch your every move. The interview process is months long, dragged out, and the onboarding period isn’t much better. The insurance policies are trash (cheapest being about $200 a month and a couple thousand for the deductible). Company says they “promote” from within but there are just a lot of lateral moves within the organization from department to department. They’ll lure you in with the promise of quarterly profit sharing, but I was told in orientation that could be anywhere from $0-200. Company is weirdly obsessed with building a “small town, family” environment. The warehouses aren’t air conditioned or heat controlled. Last time I checked, I wouldn’t leave my family working in those conditions all day. Productivity at Dynamic is measured in how many meetings you can attend throughout the day. Your entire calendar is monitored, and you will be presumed to be doing nothing if there isn’t “time blocked for a meeting or project work.” There are no boundaries in this workplace. Meetings do not start on time, nor do they end on time. There were multiple instances where a meeting would start, only to find a key component of the meeting wasn’t able to attend- bam, 10 minutes wasted. Always a camera-on policy for meetings, no exceptions. There are NO sick days; they’re lumped in with PTO days, which are accrued for warehouse workers. If you’re salary and sick, you have to use PTO time. PTO time can be used in increments of four- and eight- hours only. Salary employees are expected to log at least 8 hours a day into ADP, with the promise of clocking off if 40 hours is already met by noon on Friday. Let me tell you, some managers DO NOT adhere to that, despite 40 hours being hit before noon on Fridays. There are biannual performance reviews. In the interview process, they will tell you you can receive up to a 6% raise, but I would say 95% of workers only receive around 2% at each review. There is a big focus on OKRs, but lots of work to deviate from meeting these OKRs. You will not get higher than a 2% raise.

While we’re sorry to hear that Dynamic wasn’t the right fit for you, At Dynamic, we work hard to create a workplace that balances structure with flexibility, and collaboration with autonomy. We understand that aspects like meetings, performance reviews, and workplace culture may feel different to each individual, and we strive to ensure they are meaningful and productive. Our goal is to foster an environment where team members feel supported and engaged, and we recognize that there is always room to refine our approach. Regarding career growth, we take pride in promoting from within whenever possible, with over 50% of promotable positions being filled internally.
