      Pros

      Safety is a priority. They are the second largest next to Waste Management

      Cons

      Poor commission and bonus plans. Not designed to promote sales. Upper management is not trained in soft skills and does not know how to motivate employees, Company does not promote within. No upward mobility. It is a good ole boy style of running a company which is outdated and ineffective. Computer software is cumbersome and should be eliminated. Pressure from management to achieve un-realistic goals based off of hypothetical numbers. Service to customers is not as important as sales numbers. Very narrow outlook, they are only concerned with the here and now and because of it they find themselves reactive instead of proactive. Very poor process

      Pros

      benefits are decent- dental is awful, commission is very average not above, especially with the amount of unsatisfied customers. Drivers are usually friendly and easy to work with.

      Cons

      Terrible Management of operations and sales department and disrespect for employees. The company has a very poor name around many areas. The management level have very little experience outside of the company- resulting in extremely poor leadership, lack of versatility and people skills. The company pricing, especially within Illinois, is not competitive nor does the company have a good name regarding Allied Waste when it comes to the Central Illinois area & into Indiana. Consistent customer complaints leads to many cancellations and thus decrease any type of commission. Companies computer systems are also a bit cumbersome to use.
