      Rewarding compensation package, Ability to lead business unit and develop strategies as you see fit Responsible Environmentally Friendly Safety and People first above all else Understanding of work life balance

      Cons

      I have worked for other Waste Companies, top notch by far. Just like any other company, must be able to communicate plans to upper management and look to them for certain approvals.

      Republic was a waste of my services

      Driver

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Operating trucks was fun to me. Over a five year span 2.5 of which was at republic I have operated in residential, commercial, and industrial lines of business and could operate every truck on the lot.

      Cons

      Company ran me into the ground, didn't have time to use the bathroom let alone take the mandatory lunch break management bullies drivers into signing off that they took when they didn't actually have time to.

      Great Work Place

      Customer care specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexible schedules, no weekends unless you volunteer for OT on Saturday, very friendly atmosphere, hip music that plays throughout the floor, allowed to have cellphones on your desk, as long as you're being productive!! Great location in Chandler Az around the Chandler Mall and other restaurants and stores. Caring staff above anything I've ever experienced. Benefits are phenomenal compared to my last employer PayPal and I was able to come back to my job here at Republic after getting sick during training. When they say this is a family, they actually mean it and I'm not much of a family oriented person, so this is something that shocks me that they care so much about me personally! Lunch breaks are 45 minutes instead of the standard 30 minutes. Movable desks that allow you to stand or sit while taking calls.

      Cons

      Too much role playing during training, group activities and presentations. I am quiet I don't like being in front of people speaking or teaching back to the class the modules we learn. Not allow to eat small snacks at our desks unless its hard candy like jolly ranchers, starburst etc. Cliques amongst coworkers but not extremely H.S. No separate sick time, no floating holidays, just PTO
