Pros

Clean Harbors is the leader in the field of hazardous waste disposal. They have a huge network and huge capability to do large projects. Advancement is possible, depending on department.

Cons

Too many chiefs, not enough indians. Most people on salary in my department were working 60+ hours per week. But that's the mentality when most of senior management have been divorced 2 or 3 times. Basic equipment needs are not being met. Building I worked in didn't have a decent heating system. Very low raises. Senior management consists of yes-men who do not have college degrees. Corporate offices look immaculate while TSDFs look like dumps.

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.
