Pros

Upward mobility- nearly every corporate position is held by someone who started at the bottom of the company and actually knows how to do your job. Great culture- Safety and integrity are taken very seriously. Strong backing- if you can explain your needs well, there is a large amount of financial support available.

Cons

Part of the nature of this industry is that the hours can go a bit on the long side, nothing like the oil field, though. I suppose the servant leadership model can be tough for some people, but I appreciate it. However, there can be points where the buck stops and you are held accountable from above and below, if that makes sense.

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.
