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.

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.
