Pros

The yard managers were great to work with. They're direct to the point, and don't sugar coat much which I appreciate it. They encourage you to work independently or as team and don't micro manage you. They provide lunch or bbq's for us periodically for various reasons such as so many days without injuries ect which makes us feel appreciated. The small tight knit group of employees knows each other on first name basis and for the most part have a positive re pore with each other. They work well together ensuring a positive yard experience for customers and successful team. I enjoyed working with all of them and considered them my 2nd family. Although the bonuses and raises are little to be desired, they pay is decent and the benefits are good. A combination of all making my experience there a valued one.

Cons

Corporate has a hold on the yards from a far and doesn't take into consideration the needs of the individual yard. They group the yards together and rather than looking at each yards success and struggles which has hindered the yard. The raises and bonuses are minimal at the yard level employees while corporate level employees are receiving large bonuses and lunch on the company everyday.

Pros

Good location for transportation and competitive salary with a small bonus, but the nasty depressing culture that exists overwhelms any positives.

Cons

Very negative morale, nasty management style with no positive corporate culture. I have never experienced a company like this where most people were outright miserable.

Pros

The pros are for their competitors. They get to employ all the expirinced ex schnitzer employees as they expand where schnitzer shrivels.

Cons

In one year I worked under 4 managers and 5 assistant managers. I was trying to move to the area that we worked in but couldn't get a wage that would sustain even rent in Ft MacMurray. They made no benefit for me to move there, even though my offer would save them 2000$ a month in expenses. I quit because I only spent 14 days in my own bed that year. The rest was time spent away from family. One of their core values. We moved an average of 5000 tons per month now the numbers are 2000 tons per month and the latest I've herd is they are pulling out. Poor management from top to bottom in Canada. And even poorer direction from the American dictator ship that has hamstrung the company's they bought with terrible direction and changes to a system that worked.
