Pros

They eventually pay their employees their expense reports.

Cons

Toxic management. Focus is on employee being loyal and grateful to have their position while the management does whatever it wants to save money at the employees expense and threat to safety

Pros

Management wants our teams to take ownership, work collaboratively and continually exhibit growth mindset. We get to work at the most awe-inspiring places that most people never have a chance to visit.

Cons

The negative environmental impacts that Mother Nature has been exposed to are progressively spreading, Clean Harbors cannot contest all of the issues on their own.
