Pros

management disappears at times on a regular basis to do personal business . Its AWESOME when no ones manning the ship

Cons

They preach SAFETY but don't back it up because that would cost money. Terrible know it all management that is out of touch with reality . Next to ZERO help when help is needed . No defined plan to deal with VACATIONS to the point that drivers say that I can't talk my accured time off because NO one will cover their route . WOW...They are told by management to pull ahead on their work because management knows the work otherwise WONT get done . Mickey Mouse operation with numbers being the ONLY focus . MORALE is NON -EXSISTENT and MANAGEMENT says they care but we all know its B.S. They put people in charge that have minimal environmental experience . Tell 20 year employees how to do there job after being in charge for 2-3 months .. TRAIN on COVID but don't supply the us DRIVERS with masks for 2-3 weeks !!!! By the way buy your own sanitizer and well reimburse you ... REALLY ??????? WERE AN ENVIROMENTAL COMPANY and WE could not even SUPPLY and PROTECT ALL OF OUR EMPLOYEES AT THE MID POINT OF THE PANDEMIC .... WHAT A MESS....

Pros

Decent pay and benefits but not worth it

Cons

Micro managed and babysat daily, treated like a child. If truck has issues, told ignore and finish your route. Don't finish your 18-20 stops due to being held up in accident. Told if happens again will be written up. Constant daily threats if you don't do this or that you will be fired. Daily pressure to sell crappy recycled oil for more than new oil. If you don't sell again written up. Paperwork ridiculous, dangerous climbing up on truck daily. The worst job ever had. Manager had ego and thought he was perfect. Everyone at job very unhappy and wanting to leave and get better job. All my co-workers will leave as soon as job found. I quit, could not take daily verbal abuse any more. Found better job within a week.

Pros

Can be a gravy job if you like to work hard and long hours. Potential to have large salary if you work hard and go above and beyond. Off the weekend.

Cons

They pay you for a 40 hour salary plus commission, but expect you to work 50+ hours every week. You are expected to always go above and beyond what they ask.
