Pros

Paycheck. Get to learn more about the town your service.

Cons

Many business owners hate the company high rates. Many customers complain that their trash does not always get collected on time or at all. It was difficult hearing how much the town hated GFL.

Pros

You get a paycheck and benefits

Cons

Management favors certain drivers. Never any working truck, very toxic work environment. Mechanics will just write up FWN (further work needed )on every truck. Co-workers will purposely sabotage own trucks so they won’t have to help others. (Ex. Hydraulic leaks) They know who they are. Co workers will sabotage you. One instance, license plate sticker was removed after coming back from vacation. I put the license plate sticker on myself so I knew it wasn’t just a misstep.

Pros

GFL does have competitive pay within the waste industry

Cons

We got no safety bonus this holiday, no one told us we wouldn’t be receiving it. Thanks for nothing!! Older trucks, always breaking down, if you whine and cry enough, you get your way with management
