EMR USA Metal Recycling

Managed up to 40 employees in two different locations with the main goal being to purchase as much scrap metals and precious metals as possible.
Researched competitor pricing to make sure the company was the leader in the industry within the Region I was in charge of.
Focused on all of the yard operations to keep material coming in and shipping out in a cost effective and timely fashion, while keeping inventory as low as possible to keep up with the current market.
Performed a daily inventory of both the ferrous metals and the precious metals to make sure all employees were doing the job not only quickly but honestly.
Responsible for all safety training and toolbox talks with employees on a weekly basis

for my role, a typical good day would be full of interview calls and communication with management.   The work you did the day before would be directly connected with the success of your week. Management will let you do your job, as long as you get results. Work place culture is great! Company is not cheap. Hardest part of job was finding candidates that not only fit the role on paper, but also met expectations when hired. Most enjoyable part was the coworkers and team dynamics. Company is very involved with community and local colleges. They are always looking for ways to partner. Yes, I would go back if the right opportunity presented itself.

I have been with the company for about 5 years now, started as a crane operator and am now running the site. There is room for growth in this company as they are constantly getting employees trained and certified in everything possible from equipment to first aid and OSHA training. It is a large and growing company but they still care about their employees by making sure they are taken care of and the sites are as safe as possible. The work is fast paced but you get use to it and it doesn't even seem like you are at work most times. Small tight knit crew that's like family. i would recommend working here to anyone who's looking for a career and not just a job.

I applied to the forklift position and there was little to no training for it . Got into trouble the second week of operating for being unsafe on it , basically for not knowing what I was doing . Before they put you on the forklift all you do is labor work before  probably a few weeks before being allowed to operate the forklift . And if you don’t know Spanish they talk mess about you constantly . Very stressful work environment . And at 16 an hour not worth it. 

Most staff have work together either at EMR or other companies. When they get together, you have no idea what or who they are talking about. No very inclusive. When the President stops in, he invites those he needs to talk to which is okay, but you would think he would extend the lunch offer to all the staff. Production is paramount regardless what EMR expouses. Been there, suffered there.

Lots of shouting and cussing when things get hectic. The different departments do not cooperate but rather actively work to empty their plate onto others. 

There is also an atmosphere of extreme suspicion as many employees are acquired in the acquisition of smaller companies. 

Efficiency is a major problem on the local level. The company is almost too big for it's own good, stretched too thin. They seem only concerned with major hauls, and growth, ignoring loyal, smaller or potential new customers.
