Triple-S Steel

You start at 16 , was there 2 years and made 18. Management is good overall except one guy that doesn’t do anything and truly deserves to be fired. He is rude and lazy but surprisingly hasn’t gotten fired yet. The older employees that have been there a while are extremely knowledgeable. Everybody gets along great for the most part. It is very physically demanding and most young people quit within the first 2 weeks- 1 month. But to get very strong having to work with steel all day. The warehouse  is very hot but we are provided with plenty of refreshments such as water, Gatorade and also popsicles. We have a great Christmas party at the end of the year with amazing prizes, decent food and a lot of dancing. Overall great company if you like to work. Overtime is compensated properly (time and a half) and working Saturdays half a day is voluntary but good pay too.

A typical day at work consist of lots of heavy lifting, operating machinery,and always taking the proper safety procautions. At this job I learned a lot about operating heavy machinery, cutting patterns in steele and most importantly being team player in the work environment. I enjoyed workign with co-workers at this organization because the were very team orientated, which made the work environment comfortable and also and work envirnment a comfortable place to be. The hardest part of the job would have maintaininng once health to make sure your body endures the challenges of day to day heavy lifting.The most enjoyable part of the job would have to be working with peers and having a fun work environment.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Weekly pay and direct deposit !

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part about the company is that they really don't have great management experience when it comes to giving a qualified person the role of a team lead instead they give it to a unqualified person. And in that field it is very dangerous to operate a crane with no experience.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment it's awesome 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Unloading trucks and loading customers

Advancement and executive roles are available mostly to men. Women also receive less pay at this company for the same work that men perform as well. Workplace culture is micromanaged over-worked and underpaid employees. Management does not offer creative solutions, instead they blame the lower level employees for problems and issues. The one positive is that they will hire pretty much anyone without any experience, but then of course co-workers have to train these new inexperienced employees. Sales people compete against each other to have enough accounts to make up the salary gap in commission. This results in a work environment where everyone is a backstabber. Awful. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best I would say for a company as large as they are you are paid weekly

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Counter sales where you're responsible to answer ever ringing phones, answer inbound email RFQ's while handling walk in traffic with the majority of the clientele looking like they slept in their clothes and hadn't bathed in 6 Months. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Classic: throw it against the wall and see if it sticks, little training, little internal communication

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful and frustrating using 40+ year old DOS Based Order Entry System

If you like to breathe in tiny metal particles, dust and toxic fumes this is a good place to be.  The machine they use emits a great deal of smoke and it just sits in the warehouse filling the entire place with smoke.  I tried telling them they needed to have a better system so we weren't breathing that stuff in.  I would get dizzy and nauseous from it they didnt do anything to accommodate my health concerns and was forced to resign. The facility is extremely dirty  and definitely poses health risks i would not recommend this place.  One of the employees tried to fight me i brought it up to management and absolutely nothing was done about it. 

Triple-S is a strong, stable company that cares for its employees. There was not a single reduction in force throughout 2020-2021 when so many companies were doing lay-offs.  Management even insisted on paying employees who were exposed to or tested positive for COVID during the height of the pandemic!  Even though the company is growing exponentially, they have managed to retain the "small company feel".  
Triple-S has also been working hard upgrade and modernize their benefit offerings to remain competitive.  Just in the last 3 years, the HR department has moved the company leaps and bounds ahead with all of the new programs they're working on.

(Truck drivers).....Night shift trashes trucks and loads trailers how they want not by route,7-10 stops, Customers frustrated and angry with drivers. Each stop is unique and timely with securing. Noone really understands what you go through on a day to day basis. If you cannot skillfuly back a trailer do not consider this job

Houston location is great; however the location in DE has a horrible culture of team work and balance. 
Management is held back by upper management in South Plainfield. They have two separate operations there.  Structural and roof deck. 
Roof deck doesn’t follow any safety rules as structural side does. 
The manager in DE for decking was extremely rude and did not want to train me on anything but instead of blame his employees. 
Seemed like a good place to work but with the wrong people in the wrong places. 

Company really has no processes in place to onboard new employee's. Managers never seem to be there for support and I got the impression new employees are a hindrance.  Lackluster culture-no teamwork/no training. I would not recommend this company unless you have a strong background in metals and are happy knowing you have no support and you are on your own.
