Pros
Recology is employee owned which allows management to operate the business with more patience than a publicly traded company. Job opportunities are plentiful in the Bay Area and there a variety of classifications available. Driver or mechanic positions are plentiful throughout the company. You can find GREAT people throughout the company.
Cons
Recology has made strides to grow the business in the last 6 years. While this has increased the stock price it has also diluted the value of those shares. As employee owners we receive shares at the end of each year but with the influx of new employees the amount of shares has dropped dramatically. Operationally there are still some significant growing pains. A large portion of the workforce is 55 or older and their presence tends to block younger employees from meaningful advancement. Not many management opportunities available in the Valley.
