Pros

Our director at the Indianapolis location call center is awesome. He is willing to listen to everyone and try to understand their concerns.

Cons

They are inconsistent, their communication is terrible, they don't stand by their word. The expectations they have on their employees and especially supervisors is ridiculous. They do not file their own leadership training. They do not treat each person equally. They tell you one thing but then do another, constantly changing their business plan and model. It is like building an airplane while flying it. Not one person does things the same way and no clear answers on which way is the correct way. They claim to have a good culture but in reality that's not true. You find out that everyone there is shady and talks badly about everyone behind their backs. You can't trust anyone, not even management.

Pros

Excellent pay and health benefits with this waste management company. They take care of their hourly people on an overall aspect of showing appreciation for there hard work with the company.

Cons

Need upper management rehaul to weed out the dated staff members that wants to stay in the past and not embraces the future. Allow educated thriving personal that understands change be a part of the betterment of the company. Needs more promotion growth for middle management, instead of the crab in the barrel mentality.
