Green Wave Computer Recycling LLC

Typical day at work is very impressive and working on testing desktop computers, laptops, tablets and phones.
Entering specifications and information on inventory system.
Secure data wiping for HDDs and various devices.
Disassembling computers/tablets, repairing and replacing parts.
Troubleshooting, repairing and installing OS & software on different days of the week makes it an interesting work flow.
I learn basically different ways of troubleshooting of computers,components and how it can be quickly resolved in a timely manner using specific methods.
Data wiping is another very important aspect of my job which i keep learning ways to use specific softwares like DBAN 2.0, Parted Majic for wiping of data which to me is considered as R2 (responsible recycling).
The management is wonderful and ready to make changes at any time there is a need to the department and in general which brings a total changes to old ways of doing things.
Mentioning the co-workers are tremendously and absolutely wonderful and very co-operative to extend a helping hand to new workers. They go out of their way to making sure new workers understand the procedures of working and bringing the best in them.
The most enjoyable part of the job is the working hours and the way we relate as family which we really don't see ourselves as worker but a family ready to help one another develop their potentials.

Initially the job and company looked very promising with benefits and advancement opportunities. That quickly changed in a year.

Management has failed continuously and owners were too involved with production. If you weren't moving at breakneck speed they assumed you were unmotivated or lazy, which just kills company morale. Upper management only cared about higher production numbers and disregarded quality and safety. 

A typically day was stressful. Work instructions would change on the daily and they would expect it to be perfect the first time. Stress was so bad I would wake up and feel like puking or calling into work. (I never did) 

The company culture was insane and unhealthy. Co-workers would push others for no reason. Each department disliked each other and there was no synergy.

Hardest part of the job was expectations. You did everything asked and pour sweat and tears into your work and the only thing received back was criticism and doubt from upper management. Upper management would also dangle a false promise of a raise or recognition but never actually deliver on their promise. This destroyed morale for the company even more. 

The most enjoyable part were the coworkers that were very much aware of the abuse and wage theft going on. Bonding in solidarity for better conditions. 


Ever since the new owners took the company over about 2 years ago it went down hill hard! They once had a pizza party to raise moral but didn’t order enough so half the company didn’t get any and the people that did only got 1 slice. They would not pay any of there bills such as trash or vendors so we would go without PPE. Trash would pile up for weeks creating large safety concerns but all they care about is when they go on there next vacation. The owners will continually add more work to your plate with no money. They are “giving you an opportunity “ and “be grateful” when they pile on more work with no training. The owners have told employees multiple times they are “worthless” and “ bankrupting the company” It was the worst place I have ever worked.

If you are a tech and have the ambition to grow your career this is not the place for you. You'll be doing the same work for a year or two with no aspiration of growth or clear advancement. You're compasated fairly but it's a repetitive work that eventually will make you feel burn out. There's no actual training for leading roles (team leads, supervisor and so on), but those roles are spected to be performed well under these circuntances.  

This company also lacks structure, there's only one guy in charge of three departments and has his hand in the rest of the departments as well. The HR department is a joke mostly because they have never been inpowered due to the lack of accountability from upper management.




Clock in, go to your station, and work. Simply routine to follow...management makes things complicated and makes changes to a system that works for the warehouse employees. They really know how to make you feel segregated.  After a couple weeks you fall in routine. Its a physical job and it helped me lose 15 pounds. Other than that, its strict, in the noisy warehouse they want you to keep quiet or rather don't talk at all because management can't focus. Make sure to do managements job and check all the paper work and your employee information because management will gladly mess it up and blame you for it.

Production is verifying if items are good to be resold and then enter them into inventory per ever changing rules. Then a QC Approval tech will check items out and verify what you saw was correct and make adjustments and correct you as needed. Issues here is all QC Approvals techs do not have a unified standard.

The issue is lack of training with the best way to produce the numbers they wanted. It is called a computer repair place but there's very little repairing happening. Minimal repair to get item working. Pay is good for the job.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Steady schedule.  Decent pay.  Job was not far away from where we lived.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There are times when the job is very fast paced.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Uniforms are required.  The company offers 401k.  Leadership was less than solid due to turnover in all ranks.  Some aspects cause a worker to leave work very dirty.  Workers did stick together.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Lots of walking and heavy lifting.

The benefits, pay, and boss are all great, but at least in the tech position the work is terrible. You have a rate of any where between 35-60 computers (depending on laptop or desktop and wiped or not) which seems reasonable until you realize what your working with. Sure some times you get a great batch where everything works, but those are few and far between. Most often you get terrible units that you have to troubleshoot then data wipe (which takes hours by itself) suddenly that 60 units a day went from easy to impossible 

Unless you like working around insects I wouldn’t recommend it and don’t expect to being able to build a working relationship with your coworkers your not allowed to talk to each other and you have to keep your opinions to yourself 
An employee hit my vehicle but because he was related to a manager nothing happened. Unjustly fired for changing my  attendance record to show that I called in on the day of my review won my case against them with unemployment because they lied under oat

This was one of  the most horrible work experiences I have ever had. They had all Latino supervisors who discriminate against The African American workers. My supervisor was condescending and insulted me. They made me Break my phone then fired me because I was late (it was my alarm clock). They fired me before I could get the raise I actually deserved. The Latinos will talk about u in Spanish. They would give Blacks harder work with shabby tool sets then give Latinos nice tool sets and easier work
