Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive benefits, excellent IT stack and technology.

Cons

Management is very cut throat. Obvious internal politics detract from culture/environment in general. Silo's and turf battles combined with middle management's unwillingness to put their names on decisions creates a very un-productive and frustratind SDLC.

Pros

First year was great, chill, low stress, decent wage...

Cons

As soon as they "upgraded" their internal systems, literally nobody in leadership knew how to proceed in going forward with how absolutely poor they prepared for it and launching it extremely prematurely. I don't entirely blame front line leadership because that is the resourced they're given... the Captain of the ship, CEO, is the one who should go down with the ship. As of August 2021 to today, the system is still trash and constantly breaking. CEO either have no money to fix those issues due to lack of funds or just don't care and letting it burn down as they focus on the real money maker, stericycle. Not shredit... If I were them I would just sell off shredit to someone else, or file chapter 11 to restructure. That is my suggestion to the CEO. Cause I know, and they know, they had millions upon millions of dollars lost due to the poor launch and they just either hoping customer don't leave or don't care if customers leave.
