Pros

A lot of overtime available and ongoing training helps you succeed. They keep there equipment well maintained and are constantly improving the facility. They have a lot of good core values.

Cons

I think that they are such a large company that the traditional employee relations are controlled from an office on the other side of the country. If you make a mistake, You get a call from someone really far away....Telling you to kick rocks. Long story short, Do not make a mistake with these cats.

Pros

Good insurance. Get to go home at night!!

Cons

Mico management, conflicting information during training, poor moral among many non top preformers. Impossibly high quotas that are rarely met! Script changes weekly. Useless daily meetings. Management encourages deceptive selling of services, one call closes without the full knowledge normally required when signing up for long term service contracts. The services are over priced comparable to their competitors. I was told by one doctors group that they would never do business with the company again and that it cost his group thousands of dollars to terminate the contract, it was like doing business with the mob! Management only cares about their stockholders, little or no concern for customers or employees! Stericycle is the poster child of what's wrong with blood thirsty corporate America today!! Not recommended! !

Pros

Solid growth through acquisition and long-term growth strategy. Continues to look for strategic growth opportunities. Offers competitive pay and benefits.

Cons

Lacks knowledge and structure to integrate acquisitions and perpetuate a cohesive cultural strategy. Too much centralization and top down management style. Very fragmented culture that lacks substance. Attempts to leverage economies of scale with call center approach that does not create value for customers and field employees. Field personnel is not given opportunities to contribute through innovation or creativity - only does as they are told and runs a standardized playbook that prevents customers from being truly satisfied. Leadership lacks competency in accepting feedback and does not create trust with field level employees. Customer perspective of the company is not great.
