Pros

Constantly hiring and advertising new positions Provide training for OSHA certification 401k benefits Minimal qualifications for employment eligibility

Cons

Hiring process, on average, takes 3 months! Systemic inefficiency and incompetence throughout all levels of company Have a bad habit of getting rid of people by kicking them upstairs Job Training is completely insufficient and the highest contributing factor to their failure as a company along with huge dissonance between their sales pitch to clients, and the reality Lots of upheaval within the company after terrible deal with the purchase of Safety Kleen - lots of reorganization, and cutting of "unnecessary" jobs (anything that isnt billable to a customer) If you want to find a company where you can work hard, be proud of what you do and move up the ladder, then KEEP LOOKING The only way you can get a promotion is if you stab someone in the back, or the management hates you so much they'll do it just to get rid of you If you're smart and hard-working, there is very little reward for iyou here - only more BS If you're dumb.....Welcome to Da Habahs, ked

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.
