Pros

Full time hours is nice, having weekends off is nice. The location is decent with some good options for meals while on lunch breaks.

Cons

The training experience was so disorganized and seriously lacking. Management is terrible and there is no support whatsoever. They expect a lot out of you for very minimal pay. They have also recently began punishing employees who need to utilize their legally allowed 5 personal days, forcing pregnant employees out of the workplace when they need to attend doctors appointments.

Pros

The work was always there . Most co-workers were easy to work with. The pay was above average for the area. I did not reqire alot of supervision.

Cons

Supervision and sycophants littered the job with a toxic atmosphere. The inability of management to be professional was appalling. Route manager ran things his way and only certain chosen workers could be in his inner circle. The District Manager was his golf buddy and he divided his time between another site. Of course no one could keep checks and balances on the operation if the "fox is guarding the hen house" .Waste Management is crawling with mismanagement and for new talented people to work there it will always crush any chance to advancement. Favoritism is a cancer and this company is like playing "Survivor", try not to get voted off. Company changes rules to suit their agenda and going to H.R. is a joke even when managers break rules discipline is only for the drivers so get used to that dead-end street right away.Surveillance by cameras in the vehicles , by management or by a subordinate could be a safety tool but instead it was simply a scare tactic and could be used to enforce bizarre rules but not for everyone.
