Pros

The sales positions allow for a pretty good work life balance. The weekly pay is also nice. Benefits are decent.

Cons

Highly political. Incompetent upper level management. Sub-par human resource managers. Horrible mileage reimbursement program. Outdated sales software/technology. Little emphasis on employee development. "Old Boy's Club" feel.

Pros

Republic is a organization that provides a very valuable service to the communities in which they operate. They are always looking to improve the services which are provided.

Cons

The recent merger with Allied Waste has caused many individuals to be forced out of the organization and in many cases individuals with less experience or knowledge were retained due to who they knew rather than what they do.
