Secure company but unclear career path

Pros

Excellent Benefits Decent Salary Opportunities for learning Secure and Stable Company

Cons

-No leadership/mentoring from managers -Unclear guidance on how to get promoted -As an ambitious but loyal employee, I am frustrated at the lack of career growth. -I see many talented and intelligent employees "stuck" in the same position for years while others are promoted every year. There is not a fair system in place to promote quality employees.

Pros

I worked as a contract employee with great people in a great environment. I would have loved to stay, but they only seem to hire MBAs and/or ex-Big 4 auditors for permanent positions.

Cons

None. Always treated fairly and as a member of the team, even as a contractor, and for the intern that I saw there also; two categories that are frequently not treated well.

Republic Services was a great company to work for!

Pros

Republic was a stable company with competitive salaries and great benefits. Training was more than sufficient for the tasks required. Management and fellow employees were friendly, with very little drama while at work.

Cons

Republic is a large company with a lot of working parts. For someone that is looking to advance in the company, it is hard to tell if you are being noticed for your hard work.
