Pros

Good pay, and good benefits

Cons

Management doesn't think of you as a person they think of you as a number. Has gotten worse since January. They just worry about their bonuses. No appreciation for the employees. Their words verbatim- "we can work you 14 hrs a day.

Pros

Good salaries and structure. Great place to learn the trash industry as their training is comprehensive.

Cons

Life work balance can be atrocious. There are too many conflicting interests from within the organization that can pull you 20 different ways.
