Pros

Bottom line- the company and work contributes to something positive- clean energy, recycling, and responsible waste management. If you are in a support role (not directly participating in running the plant/facility) you can have good work/life balance. There is a lot of opportunity if you are interested in putting in the work to try to fix/change things. The company was recently acquired by a huge investment firm. Hopefully this means they will finally fix the broken down facilities.

Cons

Ultimately, money has decided everything for a long time. Long-term mismanagement of that money has trashed the success of the company. Corners have been cut in every way possible. Plants have been exponentially falling into further disrepair for years. This is an old white boys club. If you are anything other than that- best of luck! The company will not enforce the same expectations for senior/tenured employees, specifically in terms of culture/behavior. Tough times for DE&I initiatives. HR has many positive goals and focuses, but the dept. is realistically a figurehead... ultimately operational success takes precedence over everything. Even safety. The company is collaborative, but only in silos. It is a fight to work together at the plants if those people choose not to join. In the roles at or interacting with corporate, you will have more luck. Corporate leadership has held off on properly compensating staff in the plant (who are the only profit-generating group) for far too long, and continue to fight providing it.

Pros

None that I can even think of

Cons

Horribly run facility new management every 6 months, a shift supervisor that would roll on anyone in a heartbeat and the one guy that became an operator, fumigated and try's to get everyone fired and backstab everyone that comes in contact with him, should of been let go 20 yrs ago, 150 percent turnover, horrible working conditions, mountains of overtime and zero way out of that every time. Overall not a great experience should have unknown the reviews on this place were all true, new operators every month a high paying job and seriously can't keep anyone and there is a reason for it

Covanta no longer operates the facility in Minneapolis, MN owned by Hennepin County. The operations were transferred to another operator as of March 4, 2018.

Pros

Good pay, great benefits, friendly culture.

Cons

Various sites and operations groups can be very independent, which can be a good thing, but also makes for challenges when implementing improvements, changes, and managing employees.
