Electronic Recyclers International

Each day at Electronic Recyclers International (ERI) brings new opportunities. The electronic waste recycling industry is only in its infancy. Therefore, ERI and the electronic recycling industry as a whole are constantly shifting, growing and evolving. A typical day consists of cold calls, conference calls, creating reports or presentations plus planning future business meetings and travel to meet with customers and/or prospective customers.

The growth opportunities at ERI from an employee point of view are incredibly exciting! In my tenure with the company I have progressed from an Inside Sales Representative to an Outside Sales Representative and I have been promoted all the way to a Director for the company. This exposure has allowed me to work directly with ERI's Executive Team to help make decisions and learn how to run a business.

Electronic Recyclers does good work taking toxic elements our of our landfills and putting their materials back to use. However the appriciation for their works is almost non existent. They prey on works that have no other choice (criminal records, work release, excessive tattoo's) as a way to pay the bare minimum knowing that they have no other options. The nickel and dime culture creates a negative attitude where non of the workers see the job in a positive light or a career they would want to keep for an extended period of time. Managment tries its best but with out proper back up and resources from the endless bureaucracy that governs the company this job is relegated to a temp job while you look for a better one.

Pros: 
-Decent work hours
-Consistent work
Cons:
-Corporate manipulation as stated, they'll try to strong arm you
-When HR comes to you to sign Right releasing agreements (thats you dont have to sign btw) they try to use intimidation tactics to force you to sign
-Drama 24/7
-Supervisors have power trips and try to address issues to you incredibly rude, i had to confront a supervisor once about this.
-I hope you know and understand the 48 laws of power because it'll be your friend working here
-Training sucks, co workers will help you more than staff.
-Favoritism 
Overall, if you're looking for a steady check to get by until you find something better its a cool job. I was one of their best employees there hitting quota before lunch and i don't regret working there,  but it did leave an impact on how I see and navigate through the workfield/world.

Everyday had something new I would do something different, with the overtime we were always asked a week in advance and optional as well. I learned about computers (CPU, RAM, HDD/SSD and the different types of generations), we also handled new products as we received them, and management is always on point to assure we were properly knowledgeable about handling them. Each department was able to play different types of music of their choice or take turns. As the days got hotter, we would get extended breaks, popsicles and gave out Gatorade to keep us cool. The hardest part of it was when the internet would go out for long period of time it would put us behind on our production.

ERI is an extraordinary company to work with.  The culture is energetic, upbeat, and hard-working, with a passion for the environment.  Everyday I am learning something new or different which keeps the job fun and interesting.  The company has a strong emphasis on teamwork, and provides a fantastic support network that is always available with questions or guidance.  Furthermore, they have provided me with the tools to be successful in my career and have helped train, coach, and mentor me throughout every step of my development.  The team atmosphere is refreshing and effective when solving challenging problems, and management is always there to listen and recognize performance, as well as encourage creativity and leadership!

ERI has done nothing but grow and get better the 4+ years I have worked here. We have daily meetings and calls to maintain constant communication and share ideas among the different plants. The most enjoyable part of the job is the actual recycling and making sure these elctronics don't end up in landfills. The actual recycling does require a lot of physical labor and that can be tough in the summer months. There is a lot of room for growth at the NC facility as well as nationwide because the e-waste industry is growing extremely fast. Overall I would reccomend ERI to people I meet and current friends.

I have worked for ERI for 8 years and the most enjoyable part is the challenge that each day brings and the people I get to work with.We work great as a team and although the company is growing at a fast pace, the work environment still feels like a family. 
Typical day includes maintaining current business and prospecting for new partnerships, problem solving and staying close with my clients to make sure long term relationships are created. I have learned so much from our management team and I can say that each one of them is a mentor of mine that I look up!

ERI is a great company to work for.  The company is very supportive of its employees and always seems to be looking for new tools to provide to its employees to help them succeed.  The company requires you to put in maximum effort but also rewards your for your hard work.  ERI has grown consistently year on year and is really striving to be the far and away leader in an industry that is also growing quickly and is increasingly more competitive.  I feel that being in this industry, at this time, with a company that has a goal of being the industry leader by recycling the right way, is a great place to be as an employee.

Generally, the electronics industry is not known for a positive working environment, strategic vision, and ability to execute flawlessly on long-term strategy.  This company does all that and more.  With 7 highly productive facilities across the US, and a clear understanding on how to keep quality and responsible (transparent) recycling at the center of their focus, ERI leads the industry with a passion for doing the right thing for their customers.
