Liberty Tire Recycling, LLC

This is a great company to work for, but I say this only having worked there 2 days. 
Although I was there a mere 2 days I could tell that everyone looked out for their co-workers. 
Management seemed to be aware of what was going on with their employees. I didn’t notice any biases towards anyone. 
However, the work was just simply disgusting. A typical day consisted of one driving anywhere from 50-250 miles to one store, then another and so on till you completed either all the stops you were scheduled for or your 53’ trailer was full of tires. I didn’t mind the physical aspect of the job, till the 2nd day it rained. 
I’ll give you an idea of my reason for quitting; when you have a stack of old tires piled up and it rains, most tires fill up with water so it would make them nearly twice as heavy and when you pick up that tire and you think the water spilled while picking it up, and you proceed to throw it in the trailer, you get old, nasty, smelly water spilled all over your face and clothes. I got into fist fights with a bunch of tires due to this happening multiple times.  Needless to say I never won.
I’ll say this: if you don’t mind getting dirty to this extent (at times), this is a great opportunity. 
You work with a helper the entirety of your shift. I worked for this company about 8 months ago, but completely forgot to write a review and believe that people should be aware of what they’re getting into. 
When I was there all trucks were manual so if you’re not slightly good you might want to look elsewhere.
They provide you with gloves and required attire.

When you get to work, you spend half hour minimum looking for a decent trailer to pull or you may have to wait for one to become available. Do pre-trip then take it to the scale and weigh it, head to your first stop. I did all drop in hook and I was paid by the miles, 65 cents. When you get to the drop site or the customer, you have to move the trailers twice, move one out of the dock because you're replacing it with the one you brought and then pre-trip the trailer and take it back to liberty tire recycling yard, find a spot to park the trailer because there is no designated area for loaded and unloaded trailers. The process begins again until all of your orders are complete. 

The trucks all have three cameras on the outside and one on the inside pointing at the driver. They have front collision warning systems that randomly slams on the brakes, it will throw you into the steering wheel! They have lane departure warning systems which drive you nuts because you're always on a narrow 2 lane rd. The trucks are automatics and underpowered. The trailers are even worse.

The dispatchers really have no clue about the customers, they sent me to customers that were closed. You will be there for 10 to 14 hours a day. 

Yeah! Worst job I ever had. 

I was hired into an LP management role supporting field operations and cross-functional initiatives. The Utah team was professional, respectful, and collaborative at the operational level.

At the leadership level, direction was not always clearly communicated, and expectations could be enforced without full context or alignment. Opportunities to seek clarification were limited, which created challenges in prioritizing work effectively across teams. Employees who followed direction and supported additional operational needs could still encounter shifting expectations and inconsistent feedback.
Performance evaluation did not consistently align with communicated responsibilities, and in some cases, role fit determinations were made early in tenure without clearly defined or transparent benchmarks. This creates uncertainty around expectations, accountability, and long-term role stability.

Work-life balance
More hard work than pay, bad communication 
A lot of wear & tear on your body; shoulders, neck, back & legs! Company very inconsiderate of the endurance & physical abuse your goes through with the working condition in all around weather conditions!

Pay & benefits
Benefits change rapidly 
30 cent raise after 14 months

Job security and advancement
Very high turnover rate, employees are very expendable!

Management
Talk to you however they feel like! Disregards anything you try to bring to the table; being an asset to the company, making your job easier for yourself & their customers;problem solving! It's just do a your told & that's that! I've witnessed them lose a lot of their accounts for poor communication, expectations etc!

Culture
They don't check on you as they should as a driver when it comes to supplies you need that they provide. At times while on the job, they'll ask you to do things that aren't required but will hold you accountable!

Overall
Things are not what they make them out to be! The helpers they provide you with, always quit! So they're many days you go without one & your out there in the field working by yourself & they still expect numbers from you & they don't give you no type of incentives for your dedication for it! Through out my employment there, I only called in twice out of the 1yr & 6 months i was there!

What is the best part of working at the company?
The only thing good about this place is the pay. The insurance isn't bad either. The production people seem friendly and hard working although very few of them speak English.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The language barrier is a big problem. The facility itself is run down and filthy. The other thing is there are cameras everywhere so you are left with a sense of being spied on constantly. I have seen less security in Hospitals.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The environment is horrible! Just walking through the plant will leave you covered in ground up tire particles, greasy dirt basicly. The air quality is terrible as well. Even wearing a mask doesn't seem to help. Regarding culture, can't say much good about that either. This company is much more concerned about profit than the well being of their employees.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful, dirty and frustrating.

You can get paid really well here if you get the right position, but the pay is grossly unequal. That’s really what Liberty Tire Recycling should make their slogan, “Unequal treatment for unequal people” because that’s how everything is at LTR. If you luck yourself into one of the management positions are an unwavering yes-man you will be held in high regard. If you’re a production worker or someone who goes against the grain in anyway, the management will make an example out of you for any mistakes you make. 

The job itself wasn’t bad. There were some processes that could use some modernization and be less bureaucratic. Gathering signatures on paper in 2024 for approval on HR processes is just archaic and kind of sad. And daily mandatory meetings for information that could easily be shared via email is just an asinine waste of time. But they love having meetings, just about everything is an excuse to have a meeting. 

If I could go back and decide whether or not to take this job, I would pass. Way more stress than it’s worth. 

Working with Liberty was a learning curb for me. I was hired to to be the HR Manager and set up the HR department for the Port Saint Lucie office. Soon after being there, I noticed that safety needed to be addressed.  I quickly developed safety programs and training material to help employees learn how to work safe while doing their daily job duties.  
Within 90 days of my employment, I was promoted to be the safety and HR Manager for three shifts. I reduced the temporary employees by 85 percent, This was reduced cost.  All employees learn to work together. I developed a Safety Committee and train them to help develop a better safety culture. Together we reduced incidents and injuries.  I worked with the workers compensation and attorneys to help close claims, Prepared 300, 301A and monthly reports for the corporate office. 
This was a high demanding job but I also felt like I was helping my co workers work safe.

LTR cares first and foremost about the safety of each individual employed here.  On the plant level, everyone looks out for each other to make sure they can go home to their loved ones at the end of the day.  In the office, we care about each other, like a family does.  
Our leaders are passionate about the business and continue to find ways to help our company grow, which allows for endless opportunities at any level of employment. I have learned so much in my time here and have developed that passion for the business myself.  
Things can get pretty stressful during "busy season" and we find ourselves putting in a lot of extra hours, but you just do it because you want this company to be successful.  They show us how much they care each day so you just want to give it back to them.  

Interview was very casual and laid back. I filled out application, got interviewed, and I was hired on the spot all in just an hour or 2. The company is very family driven both outside work and within the company. Willing to hire just about any person without discrimination against background or race. The company has MANY benefits and resources in place for the employees. As a whole company I loved everything about it and it was one of, if not, the best jobs I’ve ever had. Though there were a few employees who at the time were my supervisors that I feel discriminated against me as I knew one of them from prior to being employed there. Once he realized who I was and where he knew me from the rumors spread like wildfire (rumors they were as we did not know each other personally) through the company. Things became increasingly difficult to prove my worth and drive to excel with due to the lack of responsibilities I would be trusted to do. 

I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. It pays well but that’s simply making a deal with the devil. Management is a bully who uses threats and scare tactics to get you to do what he wants. If he doesn’t like you it is only a matter of time before he finds a way to get you to quit or he fires you. There is no regard for employees and injuries they incur instead those who work their butts off and get injured are pressured to feel like they are a disappointment because they ruined the safety numbers. Management is unchecked by corporate or any HR and runs the facility like a tyrant ruling a kingdom in that he can cuss you out, make an example out of you in front of everyone, or tell inappropriate jokes without any fear of reprimand from anyone above him. It is a shock this place has not been sued for hostile work environment or worse. So if thinking of applying, please steer clear it’ll be the best thing you’ll do.
