Pros

There's some really good people working here. Good benefits plan including 401K. Lots of interaction with customers and with service people. Very social environment.

Cons

Here's where things take a drastic turn for the worse; there's no leadership from the corporate office extending out into field operations. As a result, many of the regional directors are doing their own thing...setting their own policies and procedures. One of the directors has even told his people that they work for him and not for Valet Waste and to forget Valet Waste policies and procedures, they will be held accountable to his way of doing business; his policies and procedures. So what do I do? If I follow company guidelines, I could be reprimanded or even worse because I followed company guidelines and not the guidelines of a single individual. It's scary here too. Everyone seems to be afraid to speak up or disagree because it could cost you your job. You're not allowed to think...just do. When a director speaks, it's law. Do it or else. I'm hoping that some of these situations clear themselves up and that I have the patience to wait it out. Right now, it's just not a good or fun place to work and I don't know how long I can hold out.

Pros

A short list that is becoming shorter every day. -Nice laptop -Company issued iPhone -Decent benefits program -So so 401K program

Cons

The company just announced their goal of becoming an employer of choice. I wonder if that's intended for current employees or just future one's? Corporate management is practically non-existent in operations. Directors, RM's (formerly), and supervisors who are in love with their business acumen and skills (despite the appalling lack thereof) are making their own policies and procedures and then using fear and intimidation to enforce them. They manage by report with very little inquisition as to what is happening in Operations and why circumstances may be the way they are. Uninformed individuals making uninformed decisions simply because they believe being your manager makes them your intellectual superior. Core values and mission statements abound galore but don't don't be foolish enough to actually try and carry out some them. Your role is to do as your immediate supervisor demands without question or hesitation. You do not think nor act without proper authorization.

Pros

NONE! This company is awful.

Cons

-This company is run by incompetent people who only care about money and not their employees. -Major turnovers in staff. People are fired and replaced nearly every week. -They pay the valets and operations people next to nothing and they are doing all of the work. The sales people get paid five times as much and get commission. -Claim they are a green company, but they don't give a crap about going green. The basis of their services are anti-green with driving around apartment complexes to pick up garbage. -People who don't work at all but are in good with the higher ups keep their jobs are are promoted. -Aren;t allowed to work at home. -No parking lot in busy downtown area. -Promotions and salary increases are practically non-existent. -Everyone is very clickish. Everyone gossips about everyone and will throw you under the bus given the opportunity for them to get ahead. -Budget cuts galore.
