      This Company is going downhill fast...The sad part is that it has good potential!

      Pros

      There is an opportunity to get in at the ground floor and go higher within this company. You do not hit the glass ceiling as fast as you would normally do so in other environmental companies...at least that is how it used to be. Now that Clean Harbors is so greedily cornering its market, by buying up their competitors, they are taking on most of the malicious practices from these acquisitions & are becoming a very abrasive type of company (they are now rubbing just about everyone the wrong way)! That is usually what happens when greed precedes all else. But hey, they are just trending...following in the path of most other companies, who believe in stepping on the heads and neck of the very people who are the backbone of their corporation.

      Cons

      The pay is below average to average. It would be tolerable if there was not so much stress involved.

      Pros

      We are now a much larger company with more internal opportunities

      Cons

      We are integrating backwards. We are converting to a system (WIN) that is setting SK back 15 years. The CEO boasts he's spent $100 million on this WIN system. It is very user unfriendly and labor intensive (manual, manual, manual)... $100 million? Really? Shareholders can't be aware of this. In many ways it feels like the tail is wagging the dog. They intgrating a 1.25 billion a year company into their systems without thought to the consequences. Used oil inventories are screwed up. Dissaster waiting to happen... yeah, yeah, yeah... sour apples. SK was purchased not the other way around. It gets old hearing that...
