Pros

Paid weekly OT available Supervisors are cool Paid 30 min lunch + (2) 15 min breaks Typically 45-55 hours/week (depends on if you want to get more hours or not)

Cons

-$25 to start off is fair. But pay raise is terrible. Especially when you’ve proven yourself to be a great worker. Rumpke is MULTI BILLION $ revenue and drivers are underpaid. Should easily be making $30/hr for the amount of physical work required ON TOP of driving. - No sick time (if you call off you don’t get paid AND get a point). - Have to work the Saturday after holidays and cannot use any PTO during a holiday week. So good luck spending time with family or going out of town for holidays. - Often made to help other routes. So even if you bust your a** to get your route done so you can get off at a decent time, you’ll probably have to go help another route. So NEVER a guaranteed time off. (If you have something legit going on and notify ahead of time they are usually good at letting you go). - Trucks constantly having issues and mechanics suck. - I mean it’s literally TRASH so just a dirty job.

Thank you for your feedback. Because you are still an employee, I would encourage you to speak with your HR Manager or Manager about your concerns to get clarification about our PTO program. The policy has more flexibility than stated even though it does not remove an occurrence. We want you to stay at Rumpke for many years to come!

The money is good if you work 50 to 60 hours

Management has no leadership training. There's no communication between logistics and drivers. Vehicles are always down. Horrible work environment.
