Pros

Freedom to get your work done without micromanagement Plenty of hours and easy to get overtime Co-workers were mostly friendly and easy to work with Yearly company paid outing/party Good Morale and atmosphere if you work at the right location

Cons

No real direction on your Dailey tasks No training or direction if you don't know how to do a certain task unless your In good with management Extreme favoritism from management, some of the worse I have ever seen pay is hourly and the pay for the type of work is terrible and company takes advantage of that due to the distance from other jobs in the city. No true Holidays off, if you have off for a Holiday you have to make it up on Saturday. Hours consistently changed in the beginning. No tool allowance, you must purchase/pay for every tool you use. Severe lack of communication in management and management to employees. Lots of cutting corners due to budgeting issues amongst management. Extremely poor advancement opportunities unless you relocate

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.
