Pros

Great people, good pay, every day is a new challenge

Cons

Still integrating under the Clean Harbors umbrella, a lot of systems and protocols don't talk well with each other, constant change, tired fleet, everyone is a Senior Vice President, multiple monthly metrics

Pros

Learned a lot about the Environmental Business

Cons

Clean Harbors has NO COMMUNICATION!!!! Direct GM and other CHES employees never returned calls or emails. Direct supervisor told me to take care of customer first and forget about other CHES reports. I ask for help every week because I needed another worker to help. I was responsible for everything from inventory, manifesting, labeling, loading, and shipping of waste. Customer has over 10 units to cover. I was the "one man gang" for CHES at the customer site. Safety was a huge issue. My office was in a building with mold between the walls, water leaked through the roof/ceiling and the floor was weak in 5 areas. I was lucky I did not crash through the floor. Were Is the SAFETY? Stay away from this company. Do not waste your time on the CHES. Also, I worked for CHES for 6 years. The pay rate was low and received 1 raise in 6 years. The raise was 0.5%. The career path is horrible and so much favoritism is in this company.
