Pros

Really felt like you were part of management getting to make decisions. Each state is considered it's own "division" and you really feel like you are part of a team. Was ran like a small company instead of a corporation.

Cons

Relocation is a must. You don't really have an option of where you would like to go.

Pros

Very huge on employee retention. Great atmosphere. Company is big on Safety. Great benefits. Transfer options anywhere in the US and in Canada. Promote from within as much as possible.

Cons

Well it is a refuse company, so when holidays come around, most of us have to work the next day to make up for it. People still have trash to pick up so we have to keep up with all our great customers.
