The company as a whole is great, some local divisions not so much. - Operations Supervisor Republic Services Employee Review

Pros

Salary and benefits are great. The company is moving toward standardizing operations at all divisions and working to create a positive customer experience.

Cons

The overarching company philosophy is not translating down to the local divisions. They are working to change that but at some local levels there are major problems. My work days start around 5am and usually end around 7pm. There are safety concerns and a "get the garbage up at any cost" mentality that can be detrimental to quality of life and safety.

Pros

I liked my collegues and we worked well as a team.

Cons

Poor leadership, micromanagement of sales team, disorganized, operations could not service current customers and sales team were expected to bring on new business that we also could not service, zero sense of urgency with operations, a 30% price increase was applied to most all accounts every 10 month and sales team were instructed by the GM NOT to tell new and/or existing customers, very deceitful practices, AI pictures taken from cameras on trucks generated a vast amount of fees that were invalid, customers had to babysit their invoices as to not be taken advantage of, very difficult to retain customers due to price increases, bogus fees, and all around poor service. I’m not sure how or why any customers would use Republic Services.
