Was once a great company to work for

Pros

Great flexibility for hourly employees and contractors. Enjoy team members management not so much seems untrustworthy. Trying to improve the culture in the call center but that's going to take a while.

Cons

Call center management do not coach and develop employees to grow in the company. No consistency from team to team or within various departments. There's no training manuals or handbooks when you're promoted, transitioning from hourly to salary is terrible since management make up the rules as they go but will not respond in email when questions are asked so there's no paper trail.

Pros

Learned a good deal about basic haz waste management. Was good to serve the community in that capacity. The guys were great.

Cons

The current manager is simply the worst boss that I have ever had. He won't hesitate to berate an employee in front of a customer and sometimes appears to have a flippant attitude toward safety. Very high turn over rate at this site.

Pros

Good benefits and they tell a great growth store

Cons

Favoritism is rampant. Field operations teams are good. The new culture thing is a joke. The management will retaliate if they feel you are not a "fit". This company had a really good culture then the new CEO and the culture crazy folks took over. The growth is fast without real assimilation of the new companies. It's really sad to see such a lack of leadership with Charlie and his crew
