Pros

I've been working here for two years, and like most companies, there are several pros and cons. This company has a clear vision of where it wants to go for the future which is evident by it's growth in volume and price. The company has focused on smaller markets where there is less competition, making it easier to sell the service. There is also a good amount of training for the new reps who are being introduced into the market. Work/life balance has been great.

Cons

Commission structure is a bit sketchy. I've seen the payouts change several times now since I started working for Waste Connections...none were in the reps' favor. There is still money to be made in the market though. Reps are compensated for gas, but it's a set monthly amount that gets taxed instead of a mileage reimbursement. Those are my main concerns. Most everything else would be considered nitpicking.

Pros

Laid back atmosphere Cool bosses, with great understanding Vacation is encouraged, so taking time-off is usually easy.

Cons

Wage is low, And the yearly raises of 2% at such a low wage is almost non existent. Very few advancement opportunities, Unless you are good friends with management, you can pretty much forget getting a chance at any advancement. There is an extreme amount of favoritism, alot of positions are filled without giving current employee's a chance to interview.

Pros

Nice company to work for.

Cons

They won't promote girls or like to hire girls for some type of roles. The person in charge is sexiest against girls. In the lower pay in the market and not much mobility to move up the ladder.
