Pros

Waste Connections invests heavily in a servant leadership model that has truly worked to make this a fun work place where I can be authentic to who I am and be productive. The goal is to hire strong people and then help them to continuously improve from wherever they are. We work together as a team to build each other up as opposed to knifing each other in the back to get ahead as in many work cultures. Compensation is excellent when base+incentive compensation are considered. Base pay alone seems to be competitive, but may fall on the low end.

Cons

The company makes it clear that flexibility to relocate is a big part of the hiring and promotion process for management positions. Those who are picky or negative toward relocation will likely experience delayed promotional opportunities. The work/life balance tends to blur within the culture--where fellow employees frequently become friends or work events bleed into the evening. The culture can take a very casual, irreverent tone, reflecting the company's blue collar background. These elements can be seen as either pros or cons, depending on perspective.

Pros

Not many pros. Can’t think of any. People were nice at first but then they all got fired around me. Replaced countlessly.

Cons

If you are not part of “The Foot Hills” then you are already on your way out the door. This is a mafia within the company that lie to the cooperate level employees about wrecks, etc. if you aren’t part of the club and you tell cooperate the truth you get the boot.
