Pros
Apparently, "it's just a job and you're lucky to have it"
Cons
See the review here and on indeed. I was a 3 year Safety Bonus Award winner. I transfered to the Milton, FL location and only remained there 2-3 weeks and here are some of the reasons why. This location has the worst management to employee communication I've ever had to experience. I worked there a week before anyone in management even introduced themselves. It took over 7 weeks before they even knew I was coming there. The interiors of the front end trucks that I was forced to drive were absolutely disgusting. It appeared that they hadn't been cleaned inside ever. The route auditing was nonexistent. I spent long hours numbering route sheets so they could even be followed by a new driver. Some route sheets had 80 zeros on them. Which means new starts were never numbered. The route trainer had a horrible attitude towards myself and the company. We started at 12am and he would have someone punch him in 2 hours later thus stealing time from the company. This practice was known by management and HR. HR's response was "he was saving the company money". And what is it with that "Chinese" overtime? Those men and woman drivers at Waste Pro USA are overworked and truly underpaid. You will have a very difficult time balancing home and work life on account of you will never be home. The hardest part of the job was starting at 12am and being forced to drive until 2-3pm, sometimes later. This is a clear violation of Federal DOT regulations and of the Escambia County noise ordinance. HR will tell you it's because they are only allowed to have so much staff. If you speak up about any company policy infractions that you see or that are commited against you, you will be treated as a trouble maker and offered a demotion or you will be forced to quit in order to get out before they find a reason to fire you. The spare truck is just another safety comprimised Waste Pro USA vehicle. I noted obvious DOT violations with the vehicles I was forced to drive, yet they were never repaired. This seems to be a problem with Waste Pro USA vehicles. A DOT inspection may not be a bad idea for them. As far as the Safety Award Bonus, I have seen vehicles damaged at my previous location and management doesn't report it so certain employees will still get the money. One's due this month. The motto at Waste Pro USA seems like it should be "It's all in who you know and what they choose to report", because the attitude and mission statement they publish in their Trash Talk newsletter is not being followed at all divisions. The majority of these issues were reported to the corporate offices and to the owner of Waste Pro USA in Longwood, FL to which there has been no response. .
