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.

Pros

Working for Pacific Steel has been full of opportunities and experiences. This was a field of work I had never considered until I landed here by chance! I am working side by side with some of the best people (and customers) in the world. We are an employee owned company which has tons of benefits on it's own, and we are regularly working to improve the communities we live in. I love having a regular work schedule with benefits and, one day, the ability to retire secured!

Cons

Like any job, there are slow seasons. Sometimes those can be a drag, but if you are able to stay motivated... it's only temporary. Being an ever changing field (price increases, tariffs, etc.) it is a constant learning curve.

Pacific Steel & Recycling Response

Thank you for sharing your experience with Pacific Steel! We're thrilled to hear about the opportunities and positive experiences you've had. It's wonderful to know that working alongside some of the best people and customers in the world has been so rewarding for you. As an employee-owned company, we take pride in the benefits and sense of community we offer, and it's great to see that reflected in your feedback. Staying adaptable in all markets keeps us growing forward!
