Pros

Pay isn't bad for contractors, no midnight shifts, location right off the tollway, nice if overpriced cafeteria, that's all I can think of.

Cons

During the interview and training, they try to make it sound like a wonderful place to work but it's really just another cruddy call center. Inadequate training, inconsistent and uncommunicative management. Also I've heard they use very high-pressure sales techniques and are quite overpriced.

Unethical and In Trouble

Pros

There used to be so many. The first mistake was handing the keys to the ShredIt leaders, the next mistake was handing the keys to UPS who have continued to trust ShredIt leaders instead of tenured Stericycle leaders who knew what they were doing.

Cons

Unethical, sales reps not held accountable for improper behavior. No rules of engagement, constant in fighting between VPs. Execs have made very poor choices in VP leaders across the commercial organization. Many have minimal experience in the healthcare vertical and almost zero in regulated waste. It’s really disgusting what’s happened to this company.

Pros

You can make decent money if you hit your goals, but not as much as you used to make a few years ago.

Cons

This used to be a good company, but upper management is running this company into the ground. The sales culture has all but disappeared in the last 2 years. The sales team and sales leaders have been denied rightfully earned commissions, raises, and opportunities because of the bad leadership they have in place. In fact, a leader in a very high position was finally let go after countless complaints about him and after several great leaders moved on to other companies because they could not work with him, and his successor is not any better. Upper Management has invested millions of dollars, and have hired entire teams to create programs that do not work. For example, they implemented automated commissions and it has caused more headaches than solutions. Also, they have hired an entire team who's only job is to provide company sales rankings, but they cannot even get this simple task right. It's embarrassing that we have so many problems like this. This used to be a great company with a fun culture and very high earning potential. Unfortunately, too many bad decisions have negatively impacted all sales roles (Sales Executive, Inside Sales Executive, Account Manager, and Sales Management), and I cannot see it getting better anytime soon. I cannot look myself in the mirror and tell someone that is looking for a sales job that Stericycle is a good place to work. If you want to make good money and feel like a valuable part of the team, look anywhere else.
