Pros

I have worked at the largest competitors in the industry. GFL Environmental offers real room for growth and advancement. As a Maintenance Manager I’ve had the opportunity to contribute directly to shaping the company’s culture and operational direction. Leadership encourages feedback and innovation, making it a dynamic environment for professionals who want to make a difference.

Cons

As a rapidly growing company, GFL is still in the process of developing and standardizing many of its policies and procedures. While this is a natural part of growth, the rollout and implementation of new processes can sometimes lead to confusion or concern in the field.
