Worked at one of their scrap yards, won't say which one. 
Horrible experiences with the people in the offices, always rude and nagging at employees and customers. They don't want to focus on their own jobs, instead they want to gossip and bother the men working in the yard. 
Higher up bosses didn't do anything to fix any of the issues even after multiple complaints from employees and customers about those issues. 
Overall the company itself doesn't care much about the scrap yards due to it being a mostly demolition company. 
If you are just a regular yard worker (running scales, helping customers, driving forklift, sorting metal, ect) the pay is justified ($15-$16 an hr) but they like to put you on different things (running heavy equipment, Torch cutting, ect) the pay remains the same and isn't justified at all. The job offers good experience, with the catch of horrible bosses, constantly being haggled by the office women, and no increase of pay.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Some of the coworkers are good people 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The other coworkers. The Deutsche bags in the office. Below average pay.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Mouth running, laziness, and blame everything you do wrong on who showed you how to do it. Don't teach anyone anything. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
10 hours if you're lucky. Show up late and sneak out early.

sorting metal some clean and some dirty. work environment was dusty and hazardiest to health. workers were hard to communicate with due to lack of English speaking people. breaks bad due to location and haveing walk a quarter mile to get to a break room or going to lunch and having no time because of the walk at times. talking to different customers was enjoyable.

Making decals and installng them on vehicles was new territory. Still I was trained well and cought on to the process and the computer programs. My day was spent taking orders by e-mail and phone, preparing and installing decals on all types of vehicles and containers ans well as making the conatiners and large tractors DOT compliant

Overall I enjoyed my time with D.H Griffin but I do not like what I observed within the company.  There was a clear seperation of Pay.  Latinos made the least pay with most dangerous positions.  Additionally, This was the case for the one African American(out of 85 people) that worked on the site.  Openly/verbally racist employees.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Its a real good company to work for 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Want nothin really to stressful 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Everyone is laid back an nice an respectful 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I ran a production excavator so i loaded trucks alll day

Typical day at work included moving equiptment and supplies to/from jobsites, empty containers, and operating other equiptment. Often called off one job to do another.

Steady work day starts early in the morning and stay busy until lunch. 1 hour lunch break then back to working a 10 hour day.  Plenty of overtime opportunities.  Not everyone gets along but for the most part, everyone I worked with was easy going.

Free to think creatively; but growth and financial compensation is very limited. It is a very lax environment but sadly they do not have a clear understanding of an administrative manager.
