Pros

They pay for lunch most fridays.

Cons

I was lied to when hired. They posted a job for roll-off and the job was residential rear load (tough job). They talk about how they care about employees, your just another number. I was told, "We don't work our employees to hard. We want them to retire from Republic." I busted my behind for these guys. I never missed a day or was late. Whatever you do dont have an accident. Unless you are of a different color other than white where you can play the race card, you will be terminated. It won't matter if its not your fault.

Pros

We used to have to come in every morning and stay in the office for at least an hour, then go out into the field, come back at least an hour before 5pm and stay in the office. They changed it so we only have to come in in the morning and it's so much nicer.

Cons

I really didn't get along with the sales manager. On my first day, the manager who hired me announced he was leaving. About two weeks into my employment, the new sales manager wanted to make crazy changes to show his authority. It went downhill from there. He made major cutbacks and the things he kept where supposed to be thought of as gifts, such as bottled water.
