Pros

Great benefits. I have heard many of the people I work with say "I'm not here for the pay, I'm here for the benefits."

Cons

The management is awful. I had managers lie to me about wages and raise, and when brought up to HR, they did nothing. I can't talk for outside my division of the company, but I have little confidence that they will be able to stay afloat. My division upwards of half a million dollars, and the same people are in charge.

Pros

Waste Management likes to promote their people within the company with their training and development. This allows you to have more for your resume.

Cons

Waste Management in San Francisco Bay Area has been slowly reducing its contracts in the last few years. Laying off many and moving its operations out of state.
