Pros

Good pay. OK benefits OK equipment on the road.

Cons

Being told by management constantly that they don't care about you. They play favorites . based on race. Never promote from within. Facilities are old outdated run down and some are unsafe. IT systems are extemly outdated. Like from the early 80's

Pros

-the pay pretty good for what you are doing

Cons

- you are picking up trash on the side of a hill all day long. -it stinks literally - even if it's rainy and snowy your picking up trash - the equipment(such as the trucks) they give you to use is worn out - co workers you work with are idiots - no chances of advancement or upward movement. It was probably one of the worst jobs I had in my life. DO NOT GO THERE. - figure on working every Saturday
