Frustrated.

Pros

The best part of working here is the paycheck. Other than that, prepare to get frustrated and discouraged.

Cons

Expect to do things the way they have been done for the last 20 years. Lots of bureaucracy and approvals and status updates. Don't expect clarity or direction.

Pros

Decent but not great benefits that only partly make up for the rotten pay and 1.5% annual raises.

Cons

Republic services couldn't care less about it's employees, they will make up stories to fire you and have mass layoffs every 2 or 3 years. All the money goes to the managers and executives...the real workers get paid crap.
