Thank you for opening up about your experience. We know it's not always easy to say when things feel off but we are grateful for everything you bring to the team. Finding a good balance between work and life is something we truly care about and we are working hard to make sure our team feels supported and not just keeping up, but thriving - and your voice helps guide that work.

Pros

Great co-workers. Fun theme days. Some opportunities to move up once you hit 1 year.

Cons

On the shred-it side of WM, the pay is the most disappointing. They expect you to hit quota, but even if you do hit quota your commission check amount depends on what gets serviced. The branches tend to drop the ball a lot on service. -Seniors can sell in your territory whenever they want.

Pros

Largest waste company in the industry, lots of resources and variety of services.

Cons

Continuous price increases can hinder retention and new sales, generally more expensive than competition.
