Pros

Co-workers...not managers, only co-workers. If you read positive reviews on Glassdoor, it's because it's from one of their employees who work at off-site facilities, not the headquarters (Northbrook, IL). If you're looking for a job at the Northbrook location, don't bother.

Cons

Way too many to list... just read other reviews from the Northbrook, IL location (HQ) and you will see all you need to figure out you don't want to work here.

Pros

Steady work, always trying to please the customer. Open door policy is a great tool but can come back to bite them in the rear end.

Cons

After the acquisition of PSC kept most of the management in place, also moving some Stericycle management out of their jobs. This has caused a rift from the original Stericycle employees and those PSC employees that want true change. The management at PSC is why they went bankrupt and it shows with the 3rd quarter earnings.

Pros

Pay is ok opportunity for advancement if you are the right color.Dont have to deal with management daily do to the crazy work schedule. They give you a little lead way if you are a lead or operator plant workers dont have a chance.

Cons

They preach core values but dont abide by any.Management will blame Workers for problems caused by Stericycle if u dont know better. They dump contaminated water into the local sewer with no concerns for the environment. The management only cares about themselves they dont train employees they just throw you to the wolves and if and when u make a mistake its on you. This is not a good company to work for.
