      Just a job

      Customer service expert (answering service)
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Stericycle handed out overtime like candy so if that is what you're after then the job is perfect for you. -The call off policy was pretty lenient.

      Cons

      -Management was terrible. It was more of a "do what I say" and don't ask questions kind of thing even though they claimed that their door was always open if you needed to talk. -Work/life balance. The call center is 24 hours so if you don't mind working any day of the year, including holidays then I guess this isn't a con for you. When you first apply, they ask you to write down your availability. If for some reason you needed to change that then it was a huge issue and sometimes they'd deny your request to change your availability. You'd have to show proof that you actually couldn't work those shifts anymore. -Stressful job -The pay was terrible for the amount of stress. and the raises were a joke.

      If you want to work for shady company, then this is the spot for you!

      Inside sales representative

      CEO approval

      Pros

      Great coworkers that get along with each other.

      Cons

      High turnover rate. Always changing the commission structure to not favor the sales reps. Shady sales tactics EX: not telling customers the prices and pressuring them into signing contracts that auto renew and have price increases. Current customers hate the company because they're getting ripped off. No job security, I've seen reps get let go that were doing well but had an off month because the company overall was missing their last couple of quarters. Bad training and they make you move teams all of the time.

      Terrible place to work

      Laborer (assistant supervisor)
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I truly cant say anything good about this company. It may be better in other areas but the one I worked at was awful

      Cons

      No room to advance. They use safety and production bonuses to motivate employees but will take them away for any reason they see fit even if you had nothing to do with a mistake that was made if they cant figure out who made it they will take away the bonus from everyone. They work you to death and force you to work overtime even if they didn't warn you about it until the end of your shift and if you refuse you will be written up and have your bonus taken. I had a bonus taken by mistake and the manager told me "theres nothing I can do about it". The pay is terrible for the hazards you are dealing with. They pretend to care about safety so much but force you to go beyond the restrictions of the safety guidelines all the time.
