Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay, union job, good benefits. BBQ once in-while. New Managers and HR to hopefully make positive changes. If you can survive the layoffs you could maybe move up.

Cons

Turnover is high, quarterly layoffs. management needs to talk to us more. Safety is first but not with new lady. She needs to come in the yard and see what's going on.

Pros

Excellent Benefits, Overtime, holiday pay, 401k with match, part of schnitzer steele= discounts for lots of companies and services.

Cons

Drama, chauvinistic minded people get promoted and good managers get retaliated against. Basically it who you know and are popular with that gets you ahead in this company, not so much your work ethic or by following policies. Garbage store managers in area and regional director.

The worst employer I have ever worked for.

Business Outlook

Pros

The only thing good about working for PnP was the people. I made some strong friendships while working there but that is all.

Cons

Work life balace was horrible. The President of the company was burnt out and didn't really care much about the employees at all. Management and HR were not on the side of the employee at all. Schnitzer Steel isn't any better than their subsidiary. I would discourage all from working for this company. Or just use it as a stepping stone in your career. Hopefully they won't drag you down.
