Pros

- Medical insurance - The customers

Cons

Where to start.... This WAS the company to work for a few years back, especially pre-pandemic and pre-new management. When new management refuses to answer any of the hard questions on company wide zoom calls, there's a red flag. When management goes around asking people to leave good reviews with suggested words and phrases to use, there's a red flag. When there is no accountability to those that con customers into signing 60 month agreements, there's a red flag. No one knows what they are doing from one week to the next because there are constantly new ways of doing things that don't seem to work any way you slice it. Monarch is a complete disaster on the Shred It side and instead of waiting or fixing any issues there currently are, they're going to implement a broken system on top of broken processes. Everything is fear based - employement, selling tactics they teach you to use on your customers and everything inbetween.

Pros

I worked alongside a team that was consistently supportive and always willing to make time to answer questions, which made a meaningful difference in my day-to-day experience. There was a real sense of collaboration, and having people who were approachable and dependable made it much easier to navigate a fast-paced, high-volume sales environment. It helped create a bit of stability and camaraderie even during more demanding or repetitive parts of the role. Overall, it was a company operating as a leader in the space, which added to the scale and pace of the experience

Cons

This was my experience working at Shred-it, which is a subsidiary of Stericycle.If you’ve ever wondered what zero autonomy feels like, this is your spot. The day was a nonstop loop of cold calls, cold walk-ins, and more cold calls, with a mandatory “smile and dial” every morning. On the Shred-it team selling waste bins, it often felt like creativity and independent thinking were… safely shredded. Management could be extremely hands-on to the point of micromanagement, with frequent check-ins and scripted role-play scenarios that rarely reflected real conversations in the field. Communication style could come across as condescending or patronizing at times, especially on team calls, which made for an uncomfortable environment when feedback felt more critical than constructive.
