Pros

You can make decent money if you sell your soul, forego your family life and max out the 60 hour a week work limit.

Cons

Micromanage and nitpick. Overwhelm you with work, Provide you with unsafe trucks that would fail a DOT inspection. Routinely have you work more than the 11-hour driving rule and 14 hour workday rule and 60 hour work week. They habitually violate DOT federal driving rules. Zero work/life balance. They will have you working from 5am-7pm and will give you a route in a crappy truck that is impossible to finish unless you violate speeding laws and work super fast. They expect you to not take a lunch or break and make you feel guilty and shame you when you don't finish a route. Upper management (Chris Lennox) has no clue about the sanitation business and their Operations Managers (Keith, Yousef, Shakur, Amber) are out of touch and unempathetic with their drivers and helpers. Abusive, toxic work environment.

Pros

Nice people to work with. Managers are helpful

Cons

Never experienced this level of micromanaging and lack of communication. This company is more concerned with growing and buying small companies than they are with retaining the employees they currently have. Micromanaging is a top priority as well, big brother is always stepping in and creating more stress than they should. The pay does not support the stress here. The two largest trash companies have much better communication procedures in place without the micromanaging. This is not 1950
