Pros

Base Salary, Health Insurance, Vehicle Mileage Reimbursement.

Cons

- You're only a number in an environment where you're expected to hit unrealistic revenue goals. - Prepare to be "Heavily" micromanaged. Management say's they don't which is a lie. - Company only cares about their stockholder's and stock price on wallstreet - Daily matrix requirement is extremely high (Calls, Meetings, Quotes, Tasks) - Vacation time is a joke. You have to make it up by working twice as hard to catch-up with daily matrix requirement's or you'll be written-up. - Sick time is a joke. You have to make it up by working twice as hard to catch-up with daily matrix requirement's or you'll be written-up. - Management is out for themselves. - Management has no problem documenting half-truth's to pass blame. - You're in a Contract based industry but the company set's Sales Quota's as if nobody in your territory is in a contract (3 or 5 year) and in fact almost every business is locked in, basically 98%+ is tied-up in a contract. - Company has ridiculous price increases and expects customer's to be ok with it.

Pros

The pay is competitive, especially with overtime opportunities, and there is strong potential to earn a solid income for employees willing to work hard. The job also provides steady work and consistent hours, which can be valuable for drivers looking for financial stability.

Cons

The work/life balance for roll-off drivers can be difficult, particularly when working weekends. Drivers are often scheduled in a way that keeps hours under 60 while still requiring Saturday work, rather than being given an additional recovery day during the week. With the level of physical labor involved, one day off is often not enough to properly recover. There is also a heavy emphasis on “swinging” containers. While swings can make sense when locations are far apart, many are scheduled for stops that are very close together and provide little operational benefit. Swings add significantly more physical labor for drivers and, in some cases, can actually take longer than traditional service methods. Over time, consistently working 55–60 hour weeks under these conditions can lead to fatigue and burnout.
