Pros

Good pay, good experience, coworkers were good, safety protocols were generally followed, you stay physically active (I put on 10 pounds shortly after leaving.), there is opportunity for promotion, will help you obtain certifications, generally not too judgmental on who they hire (though that can backfire sometimes). The pay is the best thing about working here, and its not too hard to get promoted as long as you show up and get your job done adequately.

Cons

Excessive work hours due to poor management practices, often in excess of 60 hours a week for months at a time switching frequently between days and overnight shifts, even during non-outage periods. Lots of health hazards: dust, ash, heavy metals, burns, rodents, etc.. It is literally a dump, so expect dirty and unhealthy conditions. Horrible work life balance, likely to cause divorces if married, if single expect to stay that way. Most guys who stay in the industry for a long time end up with many chronic health conditions.

Pros

Reworld has a long-standing history of operating as a sustainable and resilient business through both strong and challenging economic conditions. The company remains committed to its employees by providing competitive wages, comprehensive benefits, and opportunities for long-term career growth. This stability and commitment help make Reworld an employer of choice within the industry.

Cons

At times, Reworld management gives the impression that decisions are driven primarily by short-term financial gains rather than long-term strategic benefits. While achieving near-term results is important, greater emphasis on investments that support long-term reliability, employee development, operational efficiency, and sustainable growth could further strengthen the company's future success.
