Other than the compensation and some of the benefits, I can not think of any, as it was the worst experience in my career.

Cons

Favoritism, lack of ethics, disrespect, harassment, bullying, mental and emotional abuse, intimidation, lack of support, lack of communication, etc. etc. etc...

Overworked

Pros

Earned vacations is generous. PTO time also.

Cons

Poor management regarding operations. They have no experience in driving trucks or have CDL's. Telling garbagemen how to drive trucks and pick up garbage when they have never done it doesn't work. They rely on computers and college geeks to tell you how to do it. Good luck. Favoritism runs rampant.
