Pros

None. A big company name on your resume.

Cons

Absolutely brutal culture, no bonus, no raise, no promotions. Please stay away from this company as they will try to screw you any ways they can, if you try to leave them. Company has 3 presidents of the Metal Recycling Unit (90% of the revenue) in Last 3 years. Last president quit without any reason according to Schnitzer Steel SEC filings. Shares are trading at a all time low.

Thank you for your feedback. Yes, we have had three people in that Role in a very short period of time. The first person had been in that role for 7 years, the second had been with Schnitzer for 6 years prior and had received a number of promotions before being named President. Our current MRB President was promoted into the role upon the departure of his predecessor. We were pleased in 2014 to pay out bonuses to our employees and proud of the many employees who earned their well deserved promotions and raises.
