      Pros

      Great people. Close knit group of people that work hard to succeed. Immediate supervisors work hard to recognize your hard work.

      Cons

      The majority of incentive driven goals are unrealistic. Spread too thin. Job focus is ever-changing. Redundant task due to computer systems that do not synch. Feel like a small cog in a big machine.

      Really depends on your manager and line of business....stay away from recycling center.

      Pros

      Great senior leadership and awesome pay. This company is really trying to transform the trash and recycling business. It would be nice to completely remove the days of drivers having to get out of truck (too many injuries & accidents). I also like the Life Critical Rules...break one of these and you are history. All of the life critical rules are a result of multiple employee and customer deaths over the years.

      Cons

      A little frustrating to see your employees come into work and leave 4 hours later, with full 8 hours pay or an option to start working OT (union contracts). Meanwhile, management is scheduled for a min. 10 hour day (when things are going well).

      Pros

      Generally a solid salary, decent bonus program, good benefits. You can be proud to say - I work for Waste Management.

      Cons

      Always a threat of layoffs; bonus programs goals can be late in coming; slow moving; Senior management does not listen to ideas from the field.
