Universal Steel America

When working for this company, you can expect some type of drama everyday without any explaination. However, you're given opportunities to learn other skills but without increase of compensation. For example, I was able to obtain my forklift license that is valid for 3 years.The manager clearly treats the day shift employees better than the night shift employees and everyone is aware of this because it is so obvious. Unfortunately, this causes the workplace to be a bit hostile at times because there is conflict and confusion between both shifts. The toughest part of this job is dealing with poor communication. The manager and supervisors use vulgar language toward certain employees that allow them to do so. However, the best thing about this job is there are no lay offs or reduction of hours when work is slow.

Typical day is working closely with Sales and Customers establishing open lines of Credit and or Collecting outstanding receivables. Maintaining a DSO of 42 days even through a very tough Oil & Gas market.
Always looking for ways to assist co workers and streamlining the receivables department. 
Using creative accounting to get the sale done, accommodating both my employer and our customer.
I enjoy getting to know our customers and visiting with them on face to face level. Building a relationship is very key in getting paid first. 
You always want to be in the top 10. 
The hardest part is at times it can be very stressful but at the end of the day I enjoy very much what I do.

I was given clear direction and the freedom to manage my department and people towards their highest potential within the company.  My typical day consisted of managing the overal financial reconciliation and analysis to CEO, while managing a team of accounting experts in all aspects of account from AP, AR, Cash Management, Company Insurance (health & GL), and board meeting presentation and documentation.  The hardest part of the jb was managing time wisely to  accomplish with proficiency all tasks required and expected.  The most enjoyable aspect of the job was when everything and everyone worked in cynergy with one another. This was a great feeling of accomplishment for me. 

The environment of this place is nothing like other. Management is a joke, the foreman of both burn and roll shop lack mind and skill for their position. Nobody wants to take responsibility of their faults ,and constantly throwing people under the bus. You can tell there favoritisms in the company.  Unnecessary drama. There’s is too many people that are related in that place, you have brothers, cousins, and nephews. There are going to have you cleaning the restrooms , break room, and take out their trash from the office. Lack of supplies for getting the job done, forklifts always breaking down and don’t even bother to care. Expect no raise whatsoever, they always go that there’s allot of overtime.

Work is not too difficult as a burner. Management doesn't take into account that if you work hard and are reliable that you should be compensated for that in ways besides working the weekend. Co-workers are good and hard working. I was on night shift and it was very easy to work, no one on my back constantly reminding me what I'm supposed to be doing. Hardest part of job was not getting any weekends off to spend time with family. If I tried to take off the Warehouse Manager would try to guilt me into working. Not the best tactic. The guys I worked with were probably the best part of the job. Everyone is easy going but gets their work done.

Horrible place to work. You dont get any time off. 7 days a week every week. Low pay. And they are always complaining about something. I wouldn’t recommend anyone work here if you want a life. When you do ask for days off its like your begging them for them and you still may not get approved even if you have been workin for 2 months straight.

Do not want to pay , promise raises but people been their for 4 years and got one raise, give you thirty minute lunch working twelve hours a day with no breaks , threaten to take bonuses away for any little reason , cigarette buds on the floor or washing your own uniforms they will take your bonus away

Absolute horrible company. Managment does not know what to but blame other for mistakes. They pay you (not even good pay) for 1 job but make you do 4 jobs.


If like to make a lot of money working with micro management from narcissistic  "managers". You will do well.  

The phrase " OPEN AND HONEST" is thrown around  almost daily,  but the management is far from either with reguards to how employees  is actually treated.

Poorly managed in every way; including all management.  Previous CEO (who was semi-retired) tried to manage from remote location.  There were a few good people there, but overall they lived up to their reputation of not being a good company to work for.
