Pros

The program manager I had allowed me to grow and manage my own facility.

Cons

Big company upper management only cares at the bottom dollar and their bonuses. Workabees receive no recognition and pay raises are slim to none. You have to leave the company and come back at a higher rate in order to see a pay raise. Hard to move up.

Favoritism and politics at clean Harbors

Pros

hard working people who need the money

Cons

I found that no matter how hard you worked you are not appreciated unless you are brown nosing to management. Those who do tend to get away with slacking using other to do their work. Workers who speak up are isolated and sabotaged in order to skid them out. Lots of false promises from management, lots of distrust and passive aggressive behavior and ignorance, you have to play office politics to stay afloat, lots of racism towards natives and colored people. There no union so I left and now work at Atco, much more professional, better pay, and there no tolerance for ignorance and it's unionized, happy ending.
