Pros

Financial performance and growth of company has historically been strong

Cons

They don't care about the people. HR is BAD and should not be trusted. From the leader with no HR experience on down. The good people have left or are actively looking. They don't want open communication and will retaliate if you speak up. The culture initiative is a joke. I would not recommend making this a career stop. Yes there are allot of job opening but that is because people are leaving.

Politics - alive and well!

Pros

Had a great boss for awhile. I was able to choose and manage my own staff.

Cons

Politics rule - a VP who was disruptive and demeaning was finally demoted only to be restored with the new executive staff! Meanwhile they eliminated those who had come forward as whistle blowers. HR was run by non-HR staff and if you brought up issues, you were sure to be walked out the door shortly. Many managers and line staff were blamed when numbers not met. Then there were the Customer Service Reps who delivered "implied" sales contracts to unsuspecting small customers - I think they were even fined for this deceptive business practice. Totally lacking ethics but they have the market cornered and can do what they want.

Pros

Large company = stability. Standard Insurance. Some work from home positions offered throughout the company.

Cons

Your loyalty is not met with an equal return of loyalty. Your dedication, skills and efforts are not compensated appropriately. If you speak up against the corporate initiative, even if it's the right thing to do, you are considered to be unruly and are treated with a lack of respect. Stericycle rules very much with a "Do as I say" mentality. Directives are passed out daily with very little support and direction. Each sub team for each directive and/or project delivers contradicting instructions and demands from the next. The only way to be successful in this company is to play the game of politics and manipulation. Please read this review with an open mind. I am not simply a disgruntled employee who lacks responsibility. I've given my entire heart to this job for many, many years and I do not fit the mold of what they deem worthy because I choose my employees and my customers over the game. I stand up for myself and what I believe it and I've been smothered and hushed in return. I have been humbled by the tremendous support and loyalty from my employees throughout the years and it is heartbreaking to think of leaving them, but my worth is not recognized and I can no longer support the beliefs and treatment of those that run this company. If you are interested in working for Stericycle, I hope that you will hear my words and proceed with caution.
