Republic Services reviews

Management is constantly changing/reorganizing creating low morale which is ignored. With new management come new policies and procedures creating uncertainty and stress. Invariably the new policies and procedures implemented by new managers is a rehash of what they did before at a previous job which didn’t work then and doesn’t work now. The review system is terrible with the vast majority of employees getting a ‘Meets Expectations’ when about 25% of the employees probably exceed expectations and 25% are most likely performing below expectation. It is the opinion that performance ratings are manipulated to bypass having to explain to the exceptional employees why they are not going to get a merit rate increase or having to create performance improvement plans for underperforming employees. HR does nothing to insure the integrity of the review process. There is a disconnect between the five R’s and the reality of how company management conducts business. Instead of integrity, honesty and doing the right thing, the focus is on doing as little as possible to get by.

The sales environment is some sort of an illusion. They tell you sell, sell, sell, constantly, but managers generally don't really have any idea how to, or interest in helping you. You will find yourself in a sales role surrounded by people who do not support you in any way shape or form. The company culture is like going to the DMV or some other utility that people may have come to think their jobs will always be there. In short, they don't realize that you keep their lazy asses employed. It is a very challenging job and a worse environment. If you take this job, you will eventually find your selfish very motivated. Motivated to get the hell out of there, and probably get out of sales for good.
