      Pros

      There are no “pros” about Waste Connections, at least not in Dallas.

      Cons

      Many people may think, I was a disgruntled employee… I was the top sale rep in North Texas. I left employment after 15 months, on my terms. If you are looking for a job, that pays 45k base, and where you are treated like a piece of trash, work for Waste Connections!!! There is no team support, no operational support, and no customer service. As a sales person at WC, you have to handle all customer service, billing issues, operational issues and collections. It is the worst job I have every had. The place is toxic!

      We don't want our employees to feel undervalued as we know how hard the entire Dallas team works to service the local community. Waste Connections is an Equal Opportunity Employer and we value and thank you for your review.

      Overall solid company to work for

      Assistant controller

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great stepping stone for career growth. Great opportunities for personal growth, decent pay, exposure to various sections of the P&L and balance sheet. Depends on the region/division you work in. Some are not enjoyable while others absolutely rock! Overall, being in the field with the frontline employees and garbage men is great.

      Cons

      Low pay for what the ask of you. Especially if given acquisition work. Not enough resources or staffing to handle special projects, ad-hoc requests or acquisitions work. Often working long hours and weekends.

      Thank you for your positive comments on career growth in the accounting field at Waste Connections. We are a growth company that provides lots of opportunities for our employees but does come with additional duties until a new team is fully integrated into our local business. We encourage you to talk with your Division Controller about your concerns. We appreciate the opportunity to improve your experience as a valued member of our controller team.
