      Reworld provides many opportunities for growth

      Pros

      I've worked almost my entire career at Reworld and am grateful for all the opportunities for advancement. Reworld has been very good to me and allowed me and I've made a career at this company. The job is never boring and I continue to learn each day. There's always a new challenge to overcome and I've had the opportunity to work in many different roles and locations during my 15 years. I have pride in the work I do and know that our work at Reworld makes the world a better place by managing wastes in the most sustainable way possible. We significantly reduce the amount of waste landfilled while generating electricity and recovering the metals from the waste which would otherwise be lost in a landfill. My manager's have been very friendly and reasonable which allows me to create a good work-personal life balance. The pay is competitive and we have very good benefits. We have a diverse workforce who respect and value eachother.

      Cons

      Since we manage solid waste the facilities tend to be dusty and smelly. Work hours are long during a handful of weeks per year. You have to be a person who can adapt and be prepared to work more than 40 hours per week when the workload requires it. We are a 24/7 operation so some positions have unusual work hours (nights, weekends and holidays).

      Great Benefits and Purpose

      Environmental specialist
      Recommend

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Reworld has excellent benefits! The benefits to support your family's health and work life balance (for those on salary) is top notch. I could not have supported my family in certain scenarios without Reworld's excellent benefits, ability to accommodate, and understand that life happens. This is not across the fleet, but in my personal experience with local management. Flexibility to support family (while still getting your job done) is worth it's weight in gold. Another pro is that the work we do has genuine environmental benefits for sustainable waste solutions and the local community. The staff here care a lot about what they do day-to-day. It gives your job value and purpose in supporting those efforts. Reworld even supports volunteering on the clock for local community efforts/organizational events, which I love to do provided there is time.

      Cons

      It is a major corporation, so it is definitely a corporate atmosphere. There is a lot of time spent justifying everything to corporate as well as to clients (for client-owned facilities). This can be very frustrating especially during busy times where you are trying to get your job done, and done well. The jobs here can be intense in that way, where it seems like there is meeting after meeting where you justify and discuss, but not get anything actually accomplished. There is a major disconnect between corporate and facilities that can be very frustrating. For example, we are currently forced to use one vendor for branded items even though that vendor has shown poor performance and costs more than sourcing locally for branded items. And the only shirt color we can wear for events is black (terrible choice for hot days since most events are outdoors). No wiggle room here from corporate so far, but hoping this will change. You have to fight for what is right with your facility. Once you get through that, it isn't too bad. The cons listed above can be found at most corporate companies... Reworld overall is a great company to work for.
