Pros

My fellow co-workers and manager in my office are great to work with

Cons

Lack of clear concise communication from corporate and upper management. No training for new hires - always short staffed, so learn on the job. Computer system issues - slow and crashes, we all love the spinning circle. After new system roll out - upper management did not listen or some cases want any employee feedback to correct issues and improve efficiency. Company does not link pay raises to your performance review - you have to beg for raise and wait years to get one. Benefits plan is poor - for example the health care deductible is almost $7,000 and then you are only covered 80% and have to still pay 20% of the bill out of pocket. No money for raises or benefits, but Clean Harbors can buy and acquire new companies every year and add to our work load. High employee turnover rate and few qualified candidates to replace them.

Pros

Plenty of hours between 75 to 80 hours a week minimum. Good place to get experience as a stepping stone.

Cons

You're always on call it is mandatory that you work three weekends a month both Saturday and Sunday including the 5-day work weeks Monday through Friday Technician. As a coordinator you work 6 day work weeks Sunday through Friday you only get Saturdays off it's a salary based position so you get no compensation if you work over 8 hours a day as a coordinator and you will work more than 8 hours a day your minimum will be 12 to 14 hours a day up to a maximum of 18 hours a day regularly.
