      Wish I would have saved myself 3 years

      Pros

      Benefits, co-workers were fun to be with and I made a lot of good friends in my time there.

      Cons

      Incompetent Area Management. Area Sales Manager has NEVER SOLD in his life, yet thinks he knows how. Showed a great deal of favoritism...which I began to see in far more detail when I moved into management. How you were judged was strictly based on the "good ol boy network". Also, regardless of the "Republic Star" and the "durability pledge"...things change almost daily there...always a new policy to cover / teach to subordinates. Always a "new Republic Way" to do the same thing...no way to perfect what you have as opposed to making up different stuff as you go along.

      Pros

      Great benefits, and large network of opportunities and possibilities

      Cons

      Some managers are still not very open to new ideas and opportunities from employees of the old Allied Waste which merged with Republic over two years ago.

      Pros

      They allow lots of freedom in planning day to day activites. Home every evening which allows for good family time.

      Cons

      Low pay, all expenses (car, gas, customer "gifts") out of pocket first - then reimbursed a month later. Very low commission structure; not very lucrative to get more business other than meeting the goals set by your local manager. They like you to work a lot of hours! Lots of "baby-sitting". Numbers must be turned in on customer visits and calls every single day, GPS tracked through phones (brand new and may just be local), and daily tracking of numbers through an online database on top of all this!
