Pros

I left my last job looking for a greater sense of purpose and meaning and I've found it with Pacific Steel & Recycling. As a 100% employee-owned company, I've always felt like my opinion has been valued and Pacific has empowered and supported me to make the company better. The cherry on top is that the more ways I can make Pacific better, the more I get to share in the profits and success through our employee stock ownership plan (E.S.O.P.) It's awesome! With 40+ facilities in 9 States, there's a ton of opportunity for advancement. Give yourself to Pacific and add value and Pacific will give it back to you. Pacific Steel & Recycling isn't just in the metal business, we're in the people business. I'm not going anywhere!

Cons

Our business isn't the sexiest of industries and at times it can be hard and dirty work depending on the position. At the end of the day though, hard work equals profits and an awesome retirement and you can always wash the dirt off your hands after a hard days work.

Pros

Employee-owned means you’re not just clocking in — you’re invested in the success of the company. There’s real pride in working here, and it shows in how teams step up for each other. Every day brings variety, problem-solving, and chances to learn across different parts of the steel and recycling business. Leadership is approachable, and there’s room to grow if you’re willing to put in the effort. The culture balances professionalism with plenty of personality, which keeps things fun even when the workload is heavy.

Cons

Like any fast-paced industry, it can get busy and a little chaotic at times — but that’s part of the challenge and what keeps the work interesting.
