My job at Derby was like any other day. I punch in at the time clock about 10 minutes before it was time to start, because it took about 5 minutes to walk back to the area where I had to work. I learned how to train others that were having trouble remembering what to do. The guy that was in charge over everyone in our area was great. Every day was different but fun, he always made you smile. Of course everyone had their off days when everything seemed to go wrong. Sometimes co-workers didn't show up for work and it made it harder on the rest of use, however we all got through the day. I liked the job mainly because it was really easy, and my co-workers was one of the reasons it was easy. I enjoyed working with and around then, and yes I do miss some of them. Any time someone needed help in catching up on their pallet, someone was there to help.

My typical work day was 7am to 5:30 pm, we had a morning safety meeting then went to work. I reviewed the daily activities and orders to fill as well as plan the next day ,week and month. I was given the freedom to grow within the company and was one of the top producing managers within the company. the corporate leadership was difficult to deal with due to nepotism taking a president over the ability and skill of non related employees. There were several decisions made at the corperate level to limit the profitablity of some managers which tied our hands and were ulitimately bad judgement calls which lose millions for the company. I did what was right as much as I could even though it cost me my job at omnisource due to upper managers making falsifying documents to support their own interest and family members

I had an amazing boss who supported me. The job was fun and flexible. Loved the people I worked with. I really enjoyed that my direct boss and supervisor in the yard stood by me/us if there was an issue. But some of the management could be more willing to listen employee ideas and work on their leadership. Communication could be non-existent, just from what I’d hear from others who worked in diff depts. I didn’t have to deal with that too much, but if I did have an issue that needed addressed on a level above my manager (like a facility issue not a job issue) then I’d see how there wasn’t much concern from them. I’d definitely go back, best place I’ve worked. No job is ever going to be perfect, but they could be a lot worse than this one. 

-Fast paced days never a dull moment
-Once a culture of "good ol boy" advancement is recognized its time to start looking for new opportunities and challenges
Business is business and the lines of personal life vs business life should be clearly defined and adhered to.
-CEO and executive staff are of high moral character and some of the best I've worked for. Locally, would like to see a higher level of professionalism and maturity.
- Majority of everyone at this company are good people providing an honorable service to its community, and would give you the shirts off of there backs.
-sailing the stormy sees of office politics
- opportunity to learn something new each day

I highly enjoyed and excelled at my job with this company. I appreciated their emphasizes on safety. I got along very well with all employees. They  knew I was going through a tough custody battle and all employees donated to a Christmas fund in which they rewarded to me and my son for Christmas in 2016. I really enjoyed working with the machinery and mobile equipment. I enjoyed learning about different types of metals, and the different aspects of the scrap business. However, I did not agree with the new plant managers approach and lack of experience in the field. He cut hours and treated workers unfairly, which ultimately led to me leaving the company. I would recommend working for this company as long as that particular manager improved his abilities.

One of the most unsafe jobs I’ve ever seen for what they pay. There were so many injuries and a very high turnover rate. The training was absolutely horrible. I am a CDL Driver and they had me in the truck with different people working around their sleep schedules. One day I woke up at eight in the morning. Next day I woke up at five in the morning. Another time I woke up at two in the morning. I literally just sat in the truck. They wouldn’t even let me drive the truck. I told the manager it’s hard for me to do a swingshift to learn and he told it’s my responsibility to go to bed early enough. Let me remind you this was just to learn it wasn’t to work. How do you expect people to adjust from getting up at eight in the morning to two in the morning so quickly in one day? You can tell the managers are just dumb and didn’t care.

"Do more with less" is overriding philosophy, but what they really mean is that your to-do list is overwhelming and there's not enough time in a day to achieve all that they task you with doing.  While upper management is on the golf course, the country club, or "in meetings", the guys doing the work in the yards are overwhelmed, working 6 and 7 days a week, and no signs of appreciation.  When you ask for help (additional staffing), literally told "don't want to hear about it" and "figure it out"...disappointing, because there are great, hard-working employees out there, but they aren't being listened to...or appreciated

I have just started work at OmniSource and will be there for 12 weeks while I am completing my Internship. This Internship is the final requirement for my degree, therefore, I will be graduating in May of this year. 
So far, OmniSource has been a challenging and ever-changing environment that has taught me much already. Working with their safety manager, I have already participated in yard inspections and day-to-day responsibilities within the safety department. 
Once my 12 weeks is up, I will have completed the 4 projects listed on my resume and gotten feedback on my performance.

My typical day at work involved answering emails and the phone.  I communicated with other staff members outside of our office on a daily basis by phone. I was in charge of contacting buyers in pricing materials. The most difficult part of the job was being able to get in contact with the people you needed to in order to do your job. The most enjoyable part of my job was working with my coworkers.  Also, the satisfaction that I was able to look out for the customer and also satisfy the company as well. Management made you feel like family
