Pros

Flexibility with working hours, meaning start and leave time can change a little. Benefits to include medical, dental, vision, life, legal, 401K match, etc.

Cons

Upper management makes big decisions without knowing the true ramifications of their decisions because they aren't actually doing the work. Lots of elbow rubbing decision making instead of best practice decision making.

Pros

The pros of my job include, easy going co workers, my bosses are very lenient when it comes to asking for days off work, and they are also considerate of the employees if they come in not feeling well

Cons

The only real challenge working with Veolia is, keeping busy. I'm an energetic employee and I like keeping busy at all times if I can.

Pros

Veolia ES North America was a great company to work for prior to 2013. Executive team was knowledgeable and knew how to run a profitable and successful company. Bonuses were paid when targets were met. Employees were treated with respect. The ES North American HR team was small but talented and HR leadership was engaged and listened to employees. Executive team and most of the HR team are all gone, many were termed. If you were from ES, you had a target on your back.

Cons

Veolia North America has gone downhill quickly. Sr Leadership is poor and clueless. The CEO of North America is nothing more that a Paris puppet. HR function has no leader and isn't connected to the employees. ES businesses were integrated in the Industrial Group, but no ES Executives were asked to join, so they all were terminated. Industrial now is lead by water employees who are clueless, and have never run a division that large.
