Pros

It is a job. There is a health plan. (Very costly) There is an excellent health plan if you work at one of the unionized locations. You will get paid. (However there were times when your mileage reimbursements would be a couple of weeks late) Above average time off.

Cons

I am a former employee, have written review in the past. With 9yrs of employment here behind me, seeing what I’ve seen, experienced what I have experienced, talk with & witnessed daily operations of other branches within our district, I can say without reservation that the positive depiction of Stericycle that is portrayed by the reviews posted here does not exist. I am not questioning not doubting Glassdoor’s authentication practices, but the environment described is not real. Possibly somewhere in the country there is, i don’t know, but not here.

Pros

Coworkers are great people. So many loyal employees who really are good at their job. Teams are super supportive of each other and are genuinely interested in each others lives. They become good friends. The culture is relaxed which is a positive and negative. On one hand their is flexibility in regards to your schedule but not so much if youre in sales or not in corporate. Negatives to this are listed in "Cons" I wish I could say more positives as I lived my coworkers so much. All I can say is that if youre just starting to get into the corporate world, this may be a good place to start. The work can be frustrating, but the relaxed and social environment helps to ease you in from College life. Not to mention, since there is little automation you'll learn about your job from the ground up. Having moved onto a new company I appreciate that I have a deeper understanding as to why the job I do does things the way they do, rather than just being taught a system and thinking "thats just how it is".

Cons

Oh boy... Well the companies processes are really old. I mean that many things are still handled by paper and email only. Thats right, very little automation. Dont expect anything to move fast. It takes forever to get anything approved or get the ball rolling. Basically youre travelling back to the 90s/early 2k As mentioned prior, the environment is somewhat laid back. It allows for people to take adavantage and have wonky qork schedules that make it hard to collab sometimes. It also allows for A LOT of social loathing, but to be fair, I dont think anyone would be able to handle the amount of frustration they do without it. Unfortunately there are many loyal and hard working employees who have been there for years and havent seen an increase. So many of them want to leave and they are already passively looking for other companies. Youll be underpaid. That is a given working here. Dont expect a warm welcome here. There is no welcome package. If youre lucky your manager might take you out to lunch as a welcome because they seem to care more about bringing in an employee the right way than upper management does. Let me make this clear, this is not an HR problem. These issues have been brought up so many times, but there has never been any focus or approval to do anything to fix it. Even HR wants to leave.
