Business Outlook

Pros

Mostly really good people working hard. Leaders are smart, caring and know the scrap industry. The scrap industry is short of good employees to run the business as many are going to retire in the next 10-15 years.

Cons

Metals are cyclical and global markets are tough.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great pay, lots of paid vacation, opportunities for advancement. Great hands on training.

Cons

Health benefits have decreased over the years. Lots of scrutiny on your job, lots of accusations of theft, nepotism, not enough investigation by HR when there are complaints filed. Many employees fear retaliation for reporting code of conduct issues.
