Pros
As I read through the feedback of fellow Republic employees, I'm not surprised by the negative comments. Having a positive attitude makes an enormous difference. This is not the most "glamorous" company but I have enjoyed working here. PROS: - Recession proof industry. - New opportunities for growth/sales (ie recycling services) - Great learning experience. It's easy to move up in this industry because it's very niche so your experience becomes valuable if you decide to stay.
Cons
CONS: - Limited holidays time off - No 401k match for Year 1 - No tuition reimbursement or assistance - Lack of cohesiveness within departments. ALL depts need to work together in order to succeed. From the sales team to data entry to billing to dispatch to operations to maintenance, and especially to the drivers.
