Pros

Flexible schedule Some good people make it bearable Paid benefits Stable employment

Cons

Company culture sucks you dry Would not recommend working here Management plays favorites (Incompetent people get promoted that suck up) Below average compensation Much of management is condescending and cannot figure out things themselves but push the work down with tight deadlines causing overtime Front end people do all the lifting while management gets heavy kickbacks Management and employees that are competent tend to leave Waste industry in general has ethical issues they need to deal with Disorganized and chaotic (Have worked for 8 other companies in similar roles this was the worst)

Pros

As I see it: there are NO pros

Cons

If you enjoy being treated unfairly, but enjoy working hard,you would be in a good place.Management (in house) have no respect, complaints go to deaf ears, basically because they are too busy kissing upper managements back side. They have no idea how to run a successful business, and will soon be out of business. The trucks they have should NOT be on the roads ( fact: not fiction) , they can't afford new ones because they are too busy acquiring new sites across North America. I believe the CEOS is clueless, and has no idea of how inept the people he has in charge really are.

Pros

There is nothing worth mentioning!

Cons

Like a train wreck, too many moving parts, that nothing gets done! Like a bunch of seagulls squawking.
