      Pros

      Interesting job sites/work, taught me exactly how not to manage employees and run a business.

      Cons

      Low pay, BS hours (either 60+ or zero), worked for 4 months and was averaging 12 hours/week, shady management, dangerous job situations, under trained staff, promised lots of training and received no formal training beyond the initial OSHA 40 hour, only really care about safety and the well being of employees when Health and safety are around. Benefits are expensive but you need them because of the dangerous nature of the work and some weeks you end up owing money since the pay check cant always cover the premiums...just ridiculous

      Zero sense of accountability, too much middle management, complete lack of direction as a company.

      Pros

      Outdoors, not stuck in the office.

      Cons

      Micromanaged, mismanaged, lack of any sort of IT support, complete lack of turnaround time, horrendous feedback, too much middle management, and worst of all; arbitrarily changing commission plans on a whim when too many people achieve goals. Example: Quarterly payouts were changed 2 days before the payout. Instead of getting paid on a 170% scale gained by the office, paid on 100% scale and basically told "you should be happy you get a bonus at all." This was after Safety-Kleen was acquired by Clean Harbors in 2013 and given the kid brother treatment. Your stuff didn't go through? Too bad, gotta wait for the CH folks to finish first. Having troubles with the system? Stick with us, we'll get you back in 2014.
