Pros

None. I was literally miserable here from the day I started but I had to make a living so I stayed

Cons

I literally just quit working here. I was at Stericycle for 3 years and they work you to the bone. Nothing is ever good enough for Management and you work from 8:00-8:00. You are told it is expected because of your commission. I’ve never been so micro managed in my life. Please save yourself the hassle and find something better. They promise you the world and then turn and burn which is what they tell you to do to the customers as well. They have also refused to pay me my last commission check. I am owed $5000 . They say they don’t owe me anything (because they are mad that so quit, ) but I have proof from the last sale that they owe me. Now I have to go to the labor board. I am not a disgruntled employee either. I quit they didn’t fire me. Google it. The co has many lawsuits
