Pros

Staff works hard, and is very friendly. The work is never boring and you always learn new things. Over all friendly staff who are eager to help each other out.

Cons

Communication is the key, seems like not everyone is on the same page especially when there is a change from the top down. Team work needs to be more collaborative and less compartmentalized, There is no reason why there cant be interdepartmental shared training, knowledge and material handling. Sort line could use more tools and better equipment to improve the tear down process, ie something to help pull more materials out of the gay-lord prior to tipping it over. A stool to sit on, standing for long periods of time can be awful on the back and back pain is the leading cause of absenteeism. Socket sets for individual stations rather then one big box of shared tools to be used by 10 people, Drill bits to drill out riveted materials or small shop vac at every station to clean the dust instead of just relying on a broom and dust pan. An annual cost of living increase should be considered from the top down, 2% annually is not asking to much and would show you care about the employees. 15 min breaks instead of 10 min, studies have shown that employees are more productive after a 15 min. beak.

Pros

Coworkers are friendly and accommodating. Hours are consistent, if early. At present, there is no mandatory overtime, but that has not always been the case. Most of the time it is easy to leave the stress of work at work and not take it home with you.

Cons

Lack of communication from corporate leads to uncertainty and the feeling of being undervalued. Requests for supplies get sent in without result, questions get asked with no response, and when we do hear from corporate, it's because they want to make a big change with no notice and expect immediate results. Often, it feels like my hands are being tied while I am simultaneously asked to produce more. Little chance raises or promotions makes other employment opportunities look much more appealing especially considering the stressful nature of the job. There is very little incentive to stay here. I know that everybody wants more money, but honestly, compensating your employees is far and away the best way to show your employees that they are valued.

Pros

I have been an employee of TCG for many years and it is still growing. There has been good times and bad times. The effort to push forward to make it better is by the dedication & hard work of the Employees, Team Leaders, Supervisors, and Management. Everyone is kind, polite, and does their best to help one another but everyone has their moments when they are not their best. You can learn a lot about electronics & the importance of recycling. It is a challenging job but is worth the time I have put in to see it succeed. There are good benefits, paid holidays, paid vacation, and paid personal time. Activities are offered if you are willing to volunteer your help. TCG also offered to all of its employees a two-month free membership to workout at U-fit.

Cons

It is a smaller company so growth can be slower than what you potentially may expect to see. It can sometimes be reactive instead of proactive.
