Pros

Benefits Stability Localized Management Training/ Job Related Licenses

Cons

Clean Harbors is split into two separate companies, there is the company that actually does the work and creates revenue. Then there is the company that provides oversite and scrutinizes the work of the first company. There are twice as many people employed in positions that will never create any revenue and will not interact with anyone in the labor force outside of a regional or branch manager. The second group drives the decision making and future planning for the business' model. This drives a disconnect with company policy verses the real world application and working environment. With the growing role of Electronic Logs, and its relation to Hours of Service; as well as the business opportunities and working environment in the Covid and Post-Covid world this has become a growing internal issue. Operations Mangers and Onsite Sales Professionals are responsible for all real world implementation of Health and Safety, Transportation Compliance and Business Development. If you are looking to work directly with field personnel in a role related to Health and Safety, Emergency Management, Trans Compliance or another auxiliary group apply for a position specifically mentioning OPERATIONS. If you are looking for an office position and or remote position apply for a position described in a more traditional manner to those titles. The company can also be very reluctant to accept internal applicants from other business lines into divergent lines, instead recruiting from external companies or just out right purchasing the company. They are however very supportive of direct vertical promotions with in the same line of buisness.

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.
