Pros

A salary is above the average

Cons

A typical "New York" style management. Primitive, arrogant people treating employees like slaves. The problem of this company is multitude of managers that simply could not make it in New York. They blame everybody for they failure. This makes it a terrible place to work.

Pros

Great people to work with. Made some great friends. Decent benefits and PTO.

Cons

This company has lost its way. It no longer promotes from within. It passes over the folks with 15-25 years in the business to hire outside people with No Experience in the trash business! There are obvious double standards when it comes to management and employees. Management can get away with things that a hourly employee would lose their job for. Some managemnt shows blatant disrespect for it's employees. The raises are non existent the most I received from and annual review was .35 cents, and my reviews were excellent.

Pros

Great colleagues (for now, until they find more flexible jobs elsewhere)

Cons

Several great people (including myself) have left the company because of the remote / hybrid work policy. Hybrid is 4 days in office with Monday's mandatory. Remote work is offered inconsistently. Most days in the office I would be on Teams calls with people working remotely and hardly interact with anyone. Being in the office was a waste of time and money as I was forced to commute. Republic Services has awful work life balance and it's going to be even worse when they force more people coming into the office in September.
