Pros

The Company was bought out, and the insurance costs dropped a ton! People are nice. The health insurance costs are a little bit less the other companies in this industry.

Cons

The pay increases even with a outstanding review are about 3-4 percent of current pay. The wage is slave labor to begin with compared to similar companies. Advancement and training on HARD accounts results in no pay increase. Vacation time does not roll over. You are unable to cash it out. It is a loose it or use it item. Tuition reimbursement require you stay in your current position for a year upon graduation-handbook differs slightly on this, but contacted HR directly to get answers.

Pros

The best part of this job was mainly the people. The people are all really laid back and helpful. The people are the reason why you would even want to come into work. Also had decent benefits.

Cons

The lack of training and transparency. One the call center end, they always had new accounts opening and barely trained the employees. It was like being tossed into a dark road with no sense of direction. Then to make it worst, management would have the audacity to get upset if you made a mistake. The tasks are simple, but it is a lot. For everything being done, making 10.00 an hour is not enough and would never be. And to make it worse, they do not even follow their own core values. In fact, they gladly accept business from shady companies, which produces stressful situations when their client's customers call in and rant about the poor business "our" company does. The problem is that we represented companies who were clearly only out to profit and cared nothing about their customers, just like Stericycle care only about a dollar and not their employees. There was also no room for growth or promotions. People have been working there for six years and were still making their starting pay.

Pros

I haven't enjoyed working here since before my company was acquired by Stericycle but Stericycle made it worse.

Cons

They cut Christmas Bonuses. They require you to go out of your way to do your job but they don't supply you with the necessary tools. They make it nearly impossible to get a raise or a promotion but you can apply for other jobs to get an insignificant increase in pay.
