Pros

Plenty of overtime available. Good starting pay. Great starting vacation time.

Cons

Biggest thing is the trucks have driver facing cameras but being paid be the hour it's not a big deal to just slow down a bit to not have any issues. Could offer better work life balance. But overall great hours.

Good Stable Job

Pros

Waste connections seems to be a really stable company. The workload is quite manageable. If you are young it is a very good job to get your feet in the door as a manager and learn real business skills.

Cons

The pay isn't as high as other companies. This lower pay seems to be driving higher turnover, which is increasing the workload on veteran employees and reduces the allure of the job. This might become a feedback loop that gets worse with time. However, they seem to be giving some raises now, but they will need to continue to be open to more raises to retain employees.
