Pros

Pay was fine. Benefits were one of the best in the industry. Benefits started to get expensive for a 11 Billion dollar a year company,though. Trucks were good,maintance was ok. At first,lots of room to improve your performence.

Cons

Company has policy to report every injury, I did, thats why i am a former employee. Company made every effort to keep me from returning to work. Productivity manager didn't have CDL, but did ride along to tell us what we were doing wrong. Too much favoritism to special employees. Company has deep pockets for management. At end,one mechanic for 25 trucks. Unrealistic productivity goals, example- why i took 2 minutes longer to get to landfill compared to other driver. Getting hurt,then losing bonus AND percentage of raise. NOT FAIR.
