Pros

I went to apply, then interview I was ready for my interview 😆😆very unprofessional interview made by 1 guy just 3 questions, less than 8 minutes the interview was done,,they don't explain what they are offering like salary, OT OR any details. By next day I received an email saying we can't move forward with your application that is all.i never will consider this company to work for them also because I ask them the salary is 26 dollar for class A driver

Cons

Waste management is Waste of time

Pros

Coworkers and immediate supervisor were some of the best people I've had the pleasure of working with. Pay and benefits are ok but not worth it due to horrible working environment and long hours.

Cons

Extremely poor work life balance (vacations are not encouraged and you will be stuck with your responsibilities), long work weeks (60 hour work weeks common). Promotions are based on if they need you and if you threaten to leave. Management has run off many employees and created an abusive working environment by yelling, bullying, and making the workplace a hell to be in. Please do not work here, you will be affected mentally and physically and the company does not care.

Pros

The only pro is that you make a lot of money working here.

Cons

There are many things about this company that need to change. New upper management on the west coast is demanding that management, treats employees like numbers instead of people. Lunches aren’t being taken and neither are breaks just to get off before 14hours. People quit within months of getting the job because of the stress that management puts and the attitudes they dish out.
