      Pros

      Large company, insurance and time off policy. One of the best Vacation/sick and personal day schedules out there. Decent pay, opportunities to advance, alot of training offered.

      Cons

      Large Company, They answer to the stock market. Employee's are numbers and nothing more, raises come every couple years, bonus program for managers gets taken away even when your division does good. downsizing happens every year, Very top loaded company more VP's than you can count. Middle management works alot of unpaid hours, staff reductions made but workload goes up with no pay increases. Eliminated 401K match

      Pros

      Some intelligent people work there

      Cons

      Culture is horrendous. No merit or cost of living adjustments. Company is always in cost cutting mode, this appears to be in order to finance acquisitions of smaller companies.

      Pros

      Free out of state training. Free First Aid/CPR Training. Free phone service.

      Cons

      10min lunch break for working 12hours in a tyvek chemical suit. Terrible Co-workers. Dishonest Bosses(Example: was told minimum wage was $13/hr and found out a week later it is actually $15/hr for first response, also everyone was supposed to get an iPhone so everyone could use the clean harbors applications and also be able to clock in and out of work using their phone, instead I ended up with a flip phone because it sounded good to the boss and he didn't want to spend money on me for no reason). 6 day work week because the bosses say so(even though it's supposed to be 5 day work weeks), 12 hour days, 10min lunch every 12 hours worked, no health benefits unless you pay the expensive fee. No time for family.
