Pros

Weekily paychecks and Benefits..... But thats it.

Cons

Where do I start? First of all, if management expects and receives top performance from us the real workers that drive this company to the heights where it's at...... Then we Expect the same from you Management!. Meaning, we expect RESPECT, RECOGNITION, AND VALUE!!!! Next, provide us with the proper tools to do OUR JOB (for example: working trucks!!!) How can you expect a driver to go out and pull a route daily without a truck? Seriously, all that training and meetings you guys have, and you cant solve this issue? Because this is an ongoing dillemma. Also promotions are nonexistant, unless ofcourse you play favorites. Again it comes down to poor management and unprofessionalism. Management does as it pleases, and pick and choose who they want to advance and Equal Opportunity is obsolete for the rest of us. Its simply just the run around and the "policy card" they pull out when they see it fit and to cover their butts.....

Pros

I liked my collegues and we worked well as a team.

Cons

Poor leadership, micromanagement of sales team, disorganized, operations could not service current customers and sales team were expected to bring on new business that we also could not service, zero sense of urgency with operations, a 30% price increase was applied to most all accounts every 10 month and sales team were instructed by the GM NOT to tell new and/or existing customers, very deceitful practices, AI pictures taken from cameras on trucks generated a vast amount of fees that were invalid, customers had to babysit their invoices as to not be taken advantage of, very difficult to retain customers due to price increases, bogus fees, and all around poor service. I’m not sure how or why any customers would use Republic Services.
