Pros

The guys I work with make the job worth doing. You get a lot of training. Company pays for the tools and equipment you need for the job.

Cons

Not a lot of time to do the training that is required of you. Pay is not great. It's hard to get 40 hours in a week unless emergencies happen. Hours are only good if your willing to travel and be away from your family for days or weeks at a time. Manager seems to stab people in the back a lot to keep himself from looking bad.

Never work at the "Harbors"

Pros

Very little good to say about CH, in the past 5-years the company has gone down hill and fast.

Cons

Management could care less about it's work force. Raises are vary far and when they do come its a joke at best. in almost 16 years 4-raises the last two totaled 2.4% together. Medical benefits - plan on spending 1/3 of your pay if you have a family on co-pays and out of pocket expenses. Expect an increased work load by 20-30% each year again no money. Being told "If you don't like it , look for something else" So I did! Still a good old boy club and it's being run by all past Safety Kleen Management, the same ones that ran that company into the ground.

Pros

Very engaged in helping develop employees looking to progress and grow. If you put in the work, it will be rewarded.

Cons

Benefits can be tough (health insurance) and will run lean from time to time.
