Pros

Hard-working coworkers. Gain a wide range of experience that will help you further career. Easy to transfer from location to location. Safety is the #1 goal, it really is.

Cons

Regional manager didn't even know my name until I quit and had meetings to say how well the company was doing as a whole but would not address that fact that a pay freeze was still in effect. Often times worked 60 - 70 hours per week (pro and con)

Pros

Middle management was mostly great. Laid back work environment most of the time.

Cons

Clean Harbors managing from a distance is terrible. The systems have taken a step back in time and nothing "talks" to each other any more. When you have a micro-manager for a CEO (i.e. has to approve every hiring decision from the top down to customer service reps) your business can only get as big as that one person can conceive...
