Pros
Weekly pay is always goog here at WM. Medical and dental benefits are decent. Drivers here seem to take care of each other.
Cons
Management is always back stabbing each other. Managers dont care obout you as a human being. They treat everybody like machines. They expect you to finish a route with over 180 bins in less than 11 hours. God forbid you can't finish cause you can kiss your weekly bonus good bye. Asking for a saturday is unexceptable. (when they get 3 day weekends). Working over 64 hours a week sounds good but your body really feels it after a whyle. Oh and another thing we have 8 PTO days off a year (personal time off) They just told us in a meeting that we can't call in sick. If we do they will determine over the phone if we are sick or not. Overall Waste management will work you to the ground and after 20+ years in the company they will let you go just because you are not as productive as another driver that has been there for 2 or 3 years. We never have time to ourselves we work over 11 hours a day and our short day 8 hours on Saturday. You are never home thats why we have such a high divorce rate.
