Pros

The benefits were decent but cost more than I would have liked. Mostly a Monday through Friday position but some Saturdays are required if a holiday falls during the week.

Cons

The hours were terrible. We would start at 5:30am with no idea of when we would get off. I never worked one week below 50 hours and overtime is calculated by your production rate so they can pay you less the more you work. Management is clueless about what is actually going on in the field but insisted on micromanaging your entire day.

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.
