Stay away - toxic culture, no DEI, no empathy, pay inequities, mistreatment starts from top. - Administrative Representative Arcoro Employee Review

Thank you for your post about our Company. We take your comments very seriously and while most of your concerns will be of focus in our rebuttal, others will not be due to company policy of confidential matters. First, we are extremely concern about the perception of women in leadership positions separating from Arcoro. Speaking to that directly; factually there happens to be an equal amount of male and female separations from our company, (including leadership positions). Separations from Arcoro are due to several reasons, but most notable, and as being continuously reported in the news; Covid-19 has prompted more than 33% of employees in the US to change careers/ jobs and rethink their professional life plan as a whole. Many companies are struggling to maintain and hire employees because the job market is exceptionally vibrant. Arcoro is no exception to this trend and we are focused on retaining top talent. In addition, new leadership was recently brought in to meet specific company goals. This means change must occur, and for some change is hard and at times very difficult to accept. Change can also make employees feel nervous and often frustrated. The leadership at Arcoro understands this and will continue to do everything in our power to ease the frustration. In the last few months, we’ve increased our headcount significantly to address the heavy workload you wrote about and ensure a healthier work life balance, with additional hiring on the way. We are confident that once additional hiring is complete and everyone is properly trained, our current staff will feel the ease and the amazing Arcoro culture can resume with pride. As you mentioned, we’ve also recently changed a few policies e.g., accrued PTO to unlimited paid time off, adjustments to our paygrades and regarding DEI, just re-launched the DEI committee. Invitations to join the group started in November and while diversity is equally important to you and the Company, we sincerely hope you’ll join the committee because we need employees with your level of passion to be successful, (sign-up via the HR portal). There are so many new changes on the way that we strongly believe will not only address your thoughts and concerns but equally important, provide you with a better understanding of how we are on the verge of an incredible employer of choice. We also encourage you to meet with the leadership team. We’d like to have a candidate conversation with you and possibly others in hopes that you will not seek new employment but instead be a part of the solution. In closing, we value your opinion and are very grateful for your post. It’s will undoubtedly make us stronger and better.
