Pros

Waste Management is a great company. If you love the waste industry or just starting a career WM offers many opportunities to advance your career. Excellent benefits.

Cons

Training period is too long. Not a 9 to 5 job. Unbelievable billing errors. Long process to set up a new customer.

Pros

You learn a lot about trash, recycle and regulations. Company is environmentally focused. Paychecks are weekly. No waiting time period for 401k to be fully vested.

Cons

Pay is not very competitive, compared to other companies locally. There is not anyone who audits sales. This causes a rift between those who do their job honestly and with integrity, compared to those who are only there to make their bonus thru whatever mean possible. The majority of managers are not very focused on improvement but instead only on making numbers for the month. Surveys are not very well weighted each month, if a customer is upset with the company it counts against the employee who took the call. Advancement is who you know instead of what you know.
