SA RECYCLING

Employees are not given power to do many things without first reaching out to corporate. Corporate is located in a time zone 3 hours behind us. Small mistakes and errors require the approval of several different "teams". We often are waiting hours or even days to be able to do things because we are waiting on approval from several different people. This hurts our relationships with customers and suppliers that have dealt with this business for 30+ years before SA was ever involved. 

Management barely exists. We went 6 months without a GM or AM at one point. Regular employees were forced to do managerial tasks and many other tasks outside of our job descriptions, without any additional compensation. 

HR is not for the employees. We have had several recent mistakes with payroll and deductions. HR employees rarely respond to tickets, let alone actually fix them. There have been multiple employees who's pay have been wrong since the start of this year, and HR/Payroll has yet to make any corrections. 

I have worked for this company a year now and in my opinion,the regards to fair pay that's a joke.i have been with the company even when they were psc metals. I moved my way up only got one pay raise in two years and management is a joke.the hierarchy is a joke. If u get asked to do something it's more told to to do it or go home for three days no pay.or any new people that get hired make more then you even if u have seniority and been there two years prior basically they don't take care of their workers they could care less if you care about your job or not they just want you to show up and do it so they don't have to. I am personally looking for another job because of the environment.they promised us profit sharing bonuses and we got bout five months in and those are gone we were originally promised an end of the year bonus and was denied that too. It's a dead end job I have wasted two years of my life working here hoping to be someone and nope just get slapped in the face and laughed at

If you have children or family obligations, this may not be the most accommodating workplace. Work-life balance is not a priority, and there’s often little support from management when it comes to personal responsibilities. When staff members leave, others are expected to take on additional roles without proper training or experience. The management style can feel dismissive at times, and the overall environment tends to be high-stress and unsupportive. While the company emphasizes safety, that focus only seems consistent when upper-level executives are present. Advancement and raises appear to be more about favoritism than performance or dedication.
Management can be highly defensive and may view strong performance or independent thinking as a threat rather than an asset. In some cases, it appears that internal politics and influence over HR decisions may be used to justify terminations, creating a narrative that doesn’t always reflect the employee’s true performance or history.

If you work hard here and you think that you are going to be rewarded you will not be At all. They want a person to do as they are told And not question what you are told And do it as quickly as possible. Management wants to tell you what to do but they never would do it if there rolls were changed.  If you work hard you will be on call and you will be expected to do work that no one else will do.  If you work hard you will not get raises or make more money but you will be expected to do more for the same pay. SA likes to start new people out making more money than current employees.  They do not raise pay across-the-board. So you will have a person they're working for a year and then a new employee will start making more money than the employee that has been there a year. Pay rate is very unfair.

SA was a journey and experience to be had. I learned allot - both good and bad. Co-workers are great here for the most part. You have a few bad apples of course. Other than that, you have managers that aren’t good people. Safety is picks their favorites as well. Prime example would be a crane operator kept his job after he was reported by multiple workers for throwing a lawn mower at another worker via the crane. Yet that same safety team let a driver go because he took a nap on the route. Also, the pay here isn’t that great. I started at $24/hr and was let go around raise time because they didn’t want to pay me the promised $26/hr. Also, the equipment was bad, allot of trucks were in violation but they would make you run either way. 

My day starts off with free coffee, and loyal customers. Every day is a different experience and I learn a lot from the customers. For example, I recently learned how to say "good morning" in Armenian and Chinese. The co-workers are very friendly and cooperative. I would have to say that the hardest part of the job, is trying to get access to a computer. Since this job requires a lot of multi-tasking, it becomes difficult to access a compute on your free time. For example, when i have time to use the computer, another employee is working on a project. The most enjoyable part of the job, is coming in in the morning, because the recurring customers just make my day that much better.

Pros :
-Decent pay
-Some yards have unions
-Can learn a lot from experienced employees
-Overtime Pay

Cons :
-Management depends yard to yard (you'll have a bad time if you have a bad yard manager)
-Local yard profit sharing bonuses  were      promised but never given (yard manager made sure to brag about their bonuses though)
-Yard management often disregarded concerns for safety, threating termination/position removal if you did not comply with unsafe demands (even if you were told otherwise by safety inspectors)

Pro/Con : Job can be dangerous but as long as your mindful and follow what you're taught by the experienced employees you'll be fine.




As far as Canton, it’s an amazing team to work with. The supervisors, managers, plant workers and office personnel are awesome. As far as the company, I strongly believe most have your best interest in mind, except for HR. HR will retaliate to hush people that report company violations. It’s almost like they don’t want anyone insinuating they aren’t doing their job. From the mouth of HR “If you work with men there is a level of harassment you have to be willing to take.” and three weeks later I was fired.
