Pros

Benefits were worked into your salary and family insurance was around 200 per month. Company paid into your 401k and gave pretty good time off allowance and annual increases. Benefits portal was easy to use, and the company seemed to recognize and award people for their hard work.

Cons

Moving up was difficult. If you turn down an advancement opportunity you were blacklisted, you will not get another chance. Most advancement opportunities are less than you are making or require more time than you are used to. They will keep you around afterwards and use you up until you quit or get broke down like their equipment.

Pros

Best starting pay in the industry Great management Good training Excellent company culture Seriously, if you’re trying to get your start in the CDL industry, check out ACE Solid Waste. You couldn’t ask for better if you wanted to. This is your dream job. They have a Mom and Pop culture, but have the resources of a multi billion dollar corporation. You will not find a better company to work for

Cons

Occasional long hours when we have open routes

Pros

Free alcohol they supply for any event small or large. Free food regularly.

Cons

Broken promises. Constantly lied to. Degraded in front of others just for upper management to show a strong example. Then told behind closed doors that it was big performance for the others don’t take it personal. Get told to report unsafe acts then get retaliated by the same person who did the unsafe act saying they only got in trouble because they are one ethnicity and you are another. And the sad part is you both are the same ethnicity.
