Pros

Stericycle is a profitable company that was eventually sold to Waste Management. Our experience at the company highly depends on the team we work with.

Cons

The systems are not well organized, and many processes are centered around whoever originally set them up. When those individual leaves, it creates a major gap. Additionally, the documentation process is disorganized and requires significant improvement.
