Pros

GFL has given me the opportunity to grow and make a lasting impact within the organization. There is no glass ceiling when it comes to progressing here. If you work hard and want to advance, managers will give you opportunities to do so.

Cons

There is a lot of changing and updating processes. It feels like sometimes there is not a clear idea but they are trying new things. It’s good if you pick up on processes quickly but not so much so those that have trouble with change.
