Pros

Benefits - whether union or as a WM employee, this company takes care of you. Work-Life balance - minus the expected 10 hour shifts, once you are done for the day, you are done. Only the DOM or DM will handle outside the working hour requests/needs. Company work vehicle with fuel card to boot

Cons

High expectations with safety. Most make sense, but a few remain to be discussed. Having a camera in your work truck, monitoring your every movement and activity can add to a commute, should you have one long enough to increase your risk of a "drive cam" event.

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.
