Pros
Company purchasing more and more companies so the fact will be Clean Harbors will be here for a long time. Company is Stock Orientated and if as long as Jim Cramer continues to endorse and invite Mr. McKim on the show it raises the awareness of the company which in turn keeps customers and revenue coming through the front door. They will always be looking for employees so if you are in need of a job, chances are good they will hire you.
Cons
As stated in the pros (purchasing more and more), the larger the company gets means the less control of assets. This company was great to work for in the 80s/90s because management could handle 1200 employees. Now since we are over 6000 employees, they micro management everything but the harder they fight to gain control, the worse it gets. The annual reduction of employees to save money causes a ripple throughout the entire organization. Clean Harbors have 100s of Directors or higher, this is a huge problem. Most executives have no clue about the job they are managing therefore that division is clueless. No core values, the language towards employees is nasty. Employee UNFRIENDLY Company to say the least and whether you are an employee of 23yrs like me or 23 days, you will be talked down to and you will be strictly a number. It is not a career move to come to Clean Harbors; it is a job awaiting another opportunity. We have lost VPs, Directors, and Managers to other company’s including competitors. Take their money, learn as much as you can, and then move to a company that actually values their employees. Only time this company gives you a raise is when they are planning on raising your cost of benefits. 2012 our benefits increased about 30% FYI.
