      Pros

      Good people who work there, at least some of them. Decent insurance benefit. This company has the potential to be great in this city but the management style is horrific.

      Cons

      Where to start. Tell you that you can move up, then you can't. Half the employees are related, so they will stab you in the back. Management sleeps with hourly employees. Dishonest management; tells you one thing, does another. Doesn't matter if you worked there for 10 years, you don't get paid for your unused vacation. Don't bother suggesting how to better the way things are run, they'll take your idea and steal it from you, taking full credit.

      Pros

      I've been working here for two years, and like most companies, there are several pros and cons. This company has a clear vision of where it wants to go for the future which is evident by it's growth in volume and price. The company has focused on smaller markets where there is less competition, making it easier to sell the service. There is also a good amount of training for the new reps who are being introduced into the market. Work/life balance has been great.

      Cons

      Commission structure is a bit sketchy. I've seen the payouts change several times now since I started working for Waste Connections...none were in the reps' favor. There is still money to be made in the market though. Reps are compensated for gas, but it's a set monthly amount that gets taxed instead of a mileage reimbursement. Those are my main concerns. Most everything else would be considered nitpicking.
