Pros

Good reimbursement for using your own vehicle (To start, then drops). . When you are new they take care of you.

Cons

After a year, doesnt matter if you are the best selling rep, you get to take the brunt of all the divisions problems. When you make a whistleblower, they end up firing you anyways.

Pros

Safety is a priority. They are the second largest next to Waste Management

Cons

Poor commission and bonus plans. Not designed to promote sales. Upper management is not trained in soft skills and does not know how to motivate employees, Company does not promote within. No upward mobility. It is a good ole boy style of running a company which is outdated and ineffective. Computer software is cumbersome and should be eliminated. Pressure from management to achieve un-realistic goals based off of hypothetical numbers. Service to customers is not as important as sales numbers. Very narrow outlook, they are only concerned with the here and now and because of it they find themselves reactive instead of proactive. Very poor process
