Come in, make sure you get your 40 hours, adhere strictly to the schedule and if you have no PTO to cover absences, get side eyed and/or scolded.  Pretend to feel good about the incentive program they give you to make more money, meanwhile management schedules the numbers to be beyond your or your team's actual reach (effectively / realistically).  

Management says they don't micromanage, but it's kind of more subtle with just the guilt and overall attitude / employee atmosphere.  

Some of the actual employees there, short term and long term, are legitimately good people and some have decent attitudes.  But how undervalued and replaceable and underpaid you are for hard work will get to you after a while so everyone who's been there long enough seems to have a pretty low baseline mood most days, with how thankless and deadend the job feels for everyone.

Forget about personal comfort while you work.  You're going to hurt from standing all day or moving on hard concrete, and you're either cold during the winter or hot during the summer, praying for a moderate weather day (which hardly makes a difference in the winter since the concrete holds all the cold).

The working conditions are passable overall, but the air quality and lack of filtration and environment control will slowly kill you because the building is so out of date.  I can't confirm or deny if there's gonna be like microplastic in your lungs or something, but the air quality and lack of modern facilities will literally make you sick.  Literally.  One girl said to me, "Yeah this is about the time of year where a bunch of people get Bronchitis."

That's if you don't hurt yourself from being overworked for fake-goals that aren't actually attainable.  In my short time there I saw 3 different people need to have surgery for hernias, with probably another 2 or so that will be in the same boat soon.  Not an exaggeration.  Literal surgery.  Which I hope you have good secondary insurance for, because their benefits program is a joke other than Vision.

The only real upside for comfort is that employees are allowed to listen to music or whatever on their phones.  You don't directly have someone always watching over you, managers seem chill overall at times, but they also have cameras everywhere (understandable, given the job, but it doesn't help the vibe).

Take the job if you really need it, but don't expect to last long or stay happy.

Unless you are in the office you have no room to move up. They say they like to 'hire from within' but that is a lie. Only 1 current supervisor was 'hired from within' and they are a "favorite". You are paid slave wages and try to work hard to show them you're worth, but all you'll be left with is more responsibilities and no pay to compensate you, and the sad part is there is a few veterans that aren't even making starting wage pay. The work conditions are horrible. Toner, dust, metal and glass fragments and anything else you can think of are floating through the air that you breathe. Favoritism is rampant and if you are not on their "good" side you will be watched like a hawk and you will get written up or fired for the smallest little things. Drug use is also rampant there. Fork lift drivers driving around high is the biggest issue and major safety hazard. Benefits are horrible, don't even bother with the insurance because it is a joke and you will go broke because you it especially if you are one that needs to go to the doctor often enough. I could go on and on, just please do yourself a favor and don't apply here. It seems great at first but you will quickly realize how backwards this place is and it will literally suck the life out of you.

I thought highly of the place when I went through the office lobby doors. Seemed like a place of somewhat specailty. That is true if you work in that area of the building. Then I was introduced to the warehouse and my new job as a sorter, or as they advertise the position, an "electronics handler". Sounds like a decent job until you realize you are going to sort through huge bins full of people's unwanted junk, ten hours a day fifty+ hours a week,  as to find what the company determines as "value". You will find yourself slaving, and sweating, over these bins for a poor hourly wage to find these value items such as lifting 200# TV's and cutting vga cable ends "gold ends" off to collect the precious gold from them.  Overall a quite cruddy job with way to low of pay for how much they expect you to do. Plus if you have a good work ethic and pace you will find yourself picking up after a bunch of lazy guys and listening to the same super loud rap songs over and over all day long.

Staying here longer than necessary came from false hope that things might finally improve. 
That improvement never arrived. Pay remained painfully low compared to the physical and mental effort demanded every single day. Promises of advancement sounded encouraging at first, until reality hit and the raise turned out to be barely noticeable while responsibilities continued to multiply. Management relies on shallow incentives and empty motivation tactics to keep people pushing forward, yet none of it changes how punishing the work truly is. Conditions are miserable. Heat, dust, and exhaustion become part of daily life, and workers are thrown into demanding tasks with little concern for how it impacts their well-being. Supervision feels cold and demeaning. Walking the floor with the attitude that anyone can be replaced takes a heavy toll and slowly crushes morale. At the top, the owner's obsession with control and money is impossible to miss. People are treated as tools instead of human beings, and respect is nowhere to be found.

Pay is low and does not improve, no matter how much effort you put in. They promote bonuses, but the expectations are unrealistic, and even when people come close, there is always a reason not to give them. It feels blatantly misleading, especially when the actual pay does not match what was advertised.

The working conditions are difficult to handle, warehouse gets extremely hot, and the air quality can leave you feeling sick after a full shift. Sick time builds up so slowly that taking time off is not really an option when you need it.

Doing well just leads to more work. I ended up taking on extra duties like helping train new hires without any increase in pay. It starts to feel like effort is punished instead of recognized.

Management can be very verbal and harsh when things go wrong. There is no clear path to move up, and the environment makes you feel more like an enemy than part of a team. Overall, it is a place most people should avoid.

It is extremely easy to get your foot in the door at this job. Once you begin working there, you'll realize why. The compensation rate is abysmally low versus the effort you're expected to put in, and it is extremely unlikely that you will see any significant increase. They justify the low pay with the promise of quarterly bonuses, but the expectations set for receiving those bonuses are unrealistic, at best, and unreasonable at worst. Any sort of effort or care you put into your work will just result in you being saddled with extra expectations at no benefit to you. The conditions in the warehouse are terrible, extremely bad air quality that will cause you to get sick, and pto accumulates so slowly that you likely wont have the time to cover it. In addition to this, the warehouse has no temperature control, so you will be expected to endure freezing cold temperatures in the winter and nearly 100 degree heat in the summer.

I truly enjoy working here, not just because of the job itself, but because of the people and the purpose behind what we do. I’m surrounded by individuals who are passionate, supportive, and committed to making a real difference, and that creates an environment where coming to work each day feels meaningful. The work we do goes beyond routine tasks—it directly contributes to protecting the environment and promoting sustainability, which gives my role a deeper sense of purpose. Knowing that my efforts help reduce waste, conserve resources, and create a positive impact makes even the challenging days worthwhile. It’s incredibly rewarding to go home each day with the feeling that I’ve contributed to something bigger than myself and that my work aligns with my values. That sense of fulfillment is what makes this place more than just a job—it makes it a place I’m genuinely proud to be part of.

If you're looking for a job with good career advancments along with decent wages, work conditions, management relationships, and rewarding work then turn around and look some where else. At a glance EWASTE+ seems like a great place to go and learn a little bit more about how Electronics work, and it is[!], but underneath is more subtle monster. Dust and magnetic toner fill the air, causing you to develop bronchitis within your first few weeks. If that doesn't scare you, no heat in the winter and no air conditioning in the summer. New hires make more than people who have been here for over a year. There is one person in management who is on the workers side, otherwise its a joke. There is no real incentive to do better and wherever you end up is where you stay.

This place is a joke. Don’t apply to anything but the driver helper position. The driver helper is the BEST position possible. Everything else is a joke. The sort department is something to stay away from. Back breaking work an you’re paid like garbage. Actually, that’s an understatement, garbage men get paid more. Every department has some kind of issue and people are quitting left and right. Management is honestly a disgrace. You get in trouble for not being a push-over and for standing up for yourself. You’re told “keep your head down, mouth shut and follow orders”. So if you’re a pushover, this job is for you! I honestly don’t know how people can work for a company who doesn’t care about their employees. 

I worked on computers. They push at least $10k in revenue with computers per day, maybe less, if they resold the components. Despite this, you are paid a barely living wage. It seems that the company philosophy is to bring jobs near places where the commute to other jobs is so absurd you're better off working at this facility.

The warehouse is worn down and is basically minimally functional. There is a ton of clutter and damage all over. Air quality readings from heavy metals/dust is not available to employees, however you can get the sense of how bad it is from the fact that working there was the first time I had black snot.
