Pros

I had supervisors and team leads who were amazing and really listened to me, the support system is great

Cons

The operations side doesn’t always go through with the appointments you schedule (missed pick ups, container exchanges, etc.) so customers call back mad even though it was scheduled

Pros

The employees want to give their all and have the company succeed.

Cons

Leadership only pays lip service to issues and isn't knowledgeable about payroll so they come up with ideas that aren't legal then make staff prove that they are wrong. Once proven, no apology or acknowledgement, just move on to the next hairbrained idea. Time wasted working on research that doesn't go anywhere and trying to educate leaders. Even when talking with senior leadership, they are more focused on someone who has experience with leadership than someone who understands the division they are overseeing. When working 12-14 hour days for weeks at year end, instead of staffing or helping, they just suggested working additional hours.

Pros

The pay is above average and the benefits are good.

Cons

The executive leadership team is horrific. They are disconnected from reality, and they put unqualified people in positions because of "who they know". In the last year there has been a mass exodus of great people from the corporate office in all positions. Why doesn't anyone care anymore about this once great company.
