Pros

I have always felt that I have had the resources to succeed and excel in my position. I feel this company really gets it, and creates a friendly, yet fulfilling work environment. I heavily recommend it.

Cons

It's a large company, and as such, big structural changes such as promotions have to occur by very specific HR-set timelines and with very rigid requirements which do not always correlate with the rigors of the position

Pros

The job Was close to Home and the drivers were authentic people. The coffee was good and free and I had a window

Cons

Upper management ran the company like the Wild West . They would fire people for no reason but they didn't like your haircut. The turnover was out of control. A revolving door. There were 9 ops managers in 4 years it's was a toxic work environment at best and working for someone who was just a aweful person to the core was unbearable. I would not recommend working at Republic Services for any amount of money.

Pros

Decent pay, two weeks vacations, weekly pay

Cons

Long hours, early hours, management shows favoritism if not union. I was asked about an accident a week after it happened. Supposedly my helper says I hit something but never told me but ran to management. That's the helpers responsibility but I got fired and she stayed. They show extreme favoritism and seniority means nothing when they preach that to you in the interview.
