Pros

We work in a very casual environment. All of the employees are very friendly and help each other to make the business run. Employee's are responsible for getting their work done with no micro-management.

Cons

The benefits are expensive, There is no 401(K) plan and very little accrual of vacation time and/or sick leave. During the downturn of the economy we had no raises and the 401(k) plan was terminated. Just when things were looking better they sold the company to a national company. They also own a company in North Carolina called Porta-Jon of the Piedmont, which they are planning to sell at the end of 2014.

Pros

Pros: Free pizza every other Friday Somewhat flexible hours in sales Hands off management (or uninterested, either way) Good base salary

Cons

Cons: HR is NOT friendly Porta-potties and trash containers Management is too hands off. My Manager had 9 direct reports that all sat in the same area, yet he was not involved. Did not help me through 1 sale/situation. Sales also does collections! Hahaha... Very poor communication between markets. Decisions on sales are made by Market Ops Mgt (really bad idea). Very poor inventory. Equally poor inventory systems. Also, if you give your 2 weeks notice, you'll be let go without pay. Not a good opportunity. Take this job as a band-aid until you find a real opportunity. Sooooooo boring!

Pros

They have a good benefit package and none of their paychecks bounced...that's about it.

Cons

A lot of turnover. Very poor customer service is a service driven industry. The pump truck drivers while most are good employees, it only takes a couple to make life a living hell. Because of a lack of quality candidates for the position, they take anyone with a heartbeat that can string a few words together to form a complete sentence. Lower and middle management, the ones I dealt with were completely incompetent. I went thru five managers in my two years there. USS grows their business by acquiring all the local mom and pop shops, so the customers with a need for their services have no choice but to use them. Many, many headaches because of the lack of satisfactory customer service. Calls from construction project managers 6am thru 7pm dealing with complaints and irate customers. Made me want to put a bullet in my brain
