Pros

You get a lot of autonomy on how you can do your job from a day-to-day basis. There is a lot of to opportunity to add value because the company is so unstructured. Decisions are typically made using gut feel, so if you can articulate ideas with data you can be very convincing.

Cons

The promotion process is nontransparent and hard to understand. Overall salary, bonus, and benefits are very poor and substandard to not only the waste industry but other industries overall. Professional growth is minimal as frankly, there are not a lot of smart people working at Allied Waste. The company is largely focused on year-over-year incremental growth and not really thinking about the big picture strategy.

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.
