Pros

You get a truck that let you observe the city on the daily. You meet a lot of new people that could lead to a professional exchange.

Cons

The HR managers lie and tell you, you can only get hired at the base pay but they hire others at higher rates, so if you accept the low payrate you’re screwed because their promotion system leads to unsafe work practices on the worker or unfair treatment for the customer. The managers/Supervisors stop your pay raise at $50K-56K no matter the level of education you’re bringing in, whether you’re certified or hold a bachelor’s degree. You don’t get a pay raise even though you work in extreme weather environments and at night. You never get off work on time, if you do, they find a way to shame you or question you. You only get promoted if you’re willing to give up personal free time, show that you’re fun, likeable. The hiring managers are ex-convicts themselves and they prefer hiring other ex-convicts, family/friends or military members.

Cons

The only negatives I have encountered are outside of the company's direct responsibilities and are orientated toward the administrative bureaucracy of the municipalities that we have to coordinate work with,
