Pros

good benefits and the sodas always cold

Cons

This has to be the worst company any human being has ever worked for there is no room for improvement unless you have some type of degree and I guess experience in field you manage has in no way shape or form anything to do with how they hire their managers. If you want to see improper PPE regulations look at your managers who enforce thing against you and in turn walk around the yard in their tennis shoes and slacks. Never in my life would i have thought i could be degraded and work like a slave for some of the lowest pay imaginable. I cannot even begin to phathom how the guys who pick your trash out of the green waste for 8.25 n hour must feel when they are barely getting by breaking there backs all day long while management walks aroung the yard drinking there sodas and eating bagels but complain about employees late to a 15 minute break because they had to take a dump that lasted a few extra minutes. Oh and talk about some of the dirtiest fowlest things you can imagine to pick up and smell. Your not given the proper equipment to do your job I personally bring my own tool box with me to work every day. I hear alot about how they take care of the employee if so i want to see that. Because i havent felt more like a piece of crapin my entire life. I would never recommend this as a place to work.

Pros

to be honest no pros.

Cons

Working here was stressful, I was starting to deal with anxiety and panic attacks especially when dealing with my Supervisor who was awful since the moment he arrived. I'm one to always be respectful no matter what but at some point you loose respect and you can't allow anyone to disrespect doesn't matter if he's your boss. They fire the hard working people while keeping the ones that do more damage in the work place. Ones that could hurt other employees yet nothing was done while firing the good ones. The Manager that arrived before I was let go was even worst! I wasn't sure what I needed to let her know or not know because since day one when I communicated with her she just brushed me off and never got back to me about anything or she told me to take her off all the emails she was attached to. Then threaten me on an email if I didn't show up to work when I had requested a day off. I mean there's a lot more I can say about both of them. Now about HR... after I was let go I requested termination documents and personnel file in January I waited a month to do a follow up got the run arounds then I was told they were going to get back to me. I waited and did another follow up they ignored my email I did another follow up and got ignored again we are now in April still nothing.
