Pros

Independence since the CEO is never around

Cons

Job seekers-CEO is documented liar. Our billionaire CEO Tamara says she lives in Portland. Everyone including her boss John Carter understands that’s false so ask why. Human resources is in cahoots with Ms. Lundgren and HR is not your friend at this company, read reviews. The company loses money every year and Mrs. Lundgren still receives her annual $10 million dollars.

Pros

We Get a Discount on Some Stuff

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.

Pros

99% of the people are great offices are nice technology is good

Cons

HR is useless. Don't keep things confidential. HRBP never gets back to you. he is never at his desk. CEO doesn't live here and doesn't know how to fix anything that is wrong. Laid off people last spring. laid off a bunch more in february and are going to lay off a bunch more this summer. They are losing money like crazy
