Pros

Pay was good Benefits were above average

Cons

This is the type of place where everyday you show up to work you consider it the worst day of your life. Some people were decent people, but a lot of employees were rude and would stab you in the back whenever they could. I've never seen anything this bad in my entire career. I think it is a reflection of the leadership in the company. Leadership was brutal. I once saw the owner, Vincent Buonnano, berate a higher level manager in front of a large population of the company after giving a presentation. It was not the time or place to do it and made everyone uncomfortable. This rude behavior was typical across the board. It starts at the top and trickles all the way down. Tenure is huge there. If you've been with the company for more than a couple decades, you could get away with a lot. If you are new to the company, people treat you like trash. Tempel is in the midst of attempting to change the overall culture, but the people resisting the change are at the top which makes it almost impossible to implement any real change. The population is aging very fast and they have big issues retaining younger employees. I see them having lots of issues in the next decade or so due to the aging population and their resistance to change.

Pros

Benefits, free parking, not much else.

Cons

This company Is financially unstable. Will hire and/or promote people and then lay them off two months later. The company can’t pay its bills on time. It’s a Boys Club. New President fired lots of employees and then hired his friends to work for the company. They don’t respect feedback of longtime employees. They say they want to change but no one there likes to do anything different. Very financially unstable company that tries to get by paying everyone and everything a little as possible. Very backstabbing environment where people are encouraged to report others for mundane/non-work related “offenses” such as not liking to hear a co-worker saying they are happy its Friday.

Pros

The only good thing about this company is the opportunity to gain experience.

Cons

I enjoyed working at Tempel Steel until later 2015 it went downhill with new management,new rules that make no sense at all and preference to certain type of people. Waking up and thinking I have to see the double face employees for 8 hours daily has made me lived the worst years of my life. Tempel was safe and fun to work at now it became insecure and annoying to work in a place where Human Resources won't care less as they made you think. I never had any issues with no workmates as the majority got along and supportive. Now , all I see is hate,envy and preference to certain people. Background Checking is a joke as the majority of employees have history of misdemeanors and some have came from the jail. They deserve to work as all we but that does not mean they are allowed to act as Tempel was a penitentiary. I have met just a few(2) amazing guys that are respectful and I'd wish all were the same or at least show respect but sometimes you can't fix a rotten egg. Enviroment 0 stars Opportunities 4 stars Safety overall 2 stars Human Resource 1 stars
