Pros

Environmental work is rewarding, good hard working people at the branches, working with customers

Cons

Upper Management! They have no clue what is going on and everyone is so busy covering their rear or kissing Alan McKims' that no one can make an informed decision. All they are doing is throwing programs that are not well thought out to the field to execute hoping that something makes them look good while overworking the people carrying the company. Good people are leaving everyday because of the decisions 6 people are making. Not much to say about the level below these 6 either.

Pros

Pay okay but not worth the constant beatings they give you on why you can't get your work done. It's because there is toooo much work!!

Cons

not worth the constant beatings they give you on why you can't get your work done. It's because there is toooo much work!! Rather than help you succeed they spend most of their time looking for your mistakes. Unrealistic expectations

Pros

Large and stable company.

Cons

Talks a good story about caring about employees but rarely delivers. They have been cutting benefits every year for several years. Bonuses for operations are a joke. More than 50% of the time the find some way to take them away. Sales bonuses are always paid. Executives get their perks and options every year.
