Not the greatest company to work for

Pros

People are nice, location is good

Cons

Benefits are not great and very expensive for the average employee. No pay raises in years and if they do it is bare minimum. Work/life balance isn't good for most employees. They seem to be having a blitz with having employees put good ratings on this to bump up their dismal rating.

Company doesn’t care about employees

Pros

Safety Kleen continues to be a great brand despite Clean Harbors involvement.

Cons

Management doesn’t understand the company business. Poor benefits. Low pay. Management that isn’t helpful. No true growth strategy outside of acquisitions. CEO is antiquated and may have been good at running a company with 1,000 people but not 15,000. Continues to put the wrong people in higher positions and they all continue to be out of touch with what’s going on.
