Waste Management Employer Reviews

I've learned a lot in my role of HR Coordinator within the company. Cross training is available. The co-workers are comparable to most companies.

Productive and fun workplace. The co-worker are very helpful

Waste Management is a great place to work for. There is plenty of room for advancement.

Typical day would be get my paper work line up my jobs start from the farthest one out and work my way back in. Go to my truck do my pretrip inspection check fluids a complete vehicle check. And be ready to have a safe and productive day I learned that safety is the key to having a good day and productive day I manage my day according to my paperwork – more...  I take the farthest job out and work my way back to the closest job to the shop it's important to have a good work relationship with your coworkers. Because by having a good working relationship with your coworkers you both can have a good productive day. The hardest part of the job is when you truck breaks down and you can not be as productive as you like. The most enjoyable part of the job is when you see you have a safe and productive day at the end of that day and you work gets done. I never found my job hard to do because I enjoy doing what I was doing. Thank you – less

This was a very discouraging place to work. There was hardly any training to provide the proper knowledge in order to do the job successfully. Management was horrible, business morale was at an ultimate low, co-workers compained all day, literally from 8:30 to 4:30. If you have waste industry experience you may do well in this position, but you must – more...  be willing to work with inconsistency, bad attitudes,no guidelines to help you with your job roles and little to know direction from management. Forget trying to get basic knowledge and relying on internal software in order to have something to help you with, the information is rarely updated with correct information. The pay is low too for the amount of pressure of the job, there are mice in the shop downstairs...very gloomy place to work. I also wrote a letter to HR expressing my concern and have yet to hear anything back from there, you will learn quickly that nobody really cares about you or what goes on there. I would be very hesitant to work in this position/location. – less

The company did not inform me of the disciplinary consequences. I was written up for an incident. The next incident did not cause any damage, however, I reported it anyway. I was suspended for a week, then I was called in and terminated. I would never recommend this company to anyone.

great pay easiest job ever. Made good money; no sunlight or windows kinda sucked but overall pretty good

Typical day at work is making calls to prospect business and see appointments in person or over the phone. I have learned front tnd activity is everything. The best part of the job is it is always different.

I am responsible for servicing anywhere from 800 to 1100 customers daily. The Management ensure we provide the customers with great customer service as well as being safe and responsible. Most of the co-workers are helpful and willing to teach you some of the things you may not know.

Not much to complain about, except for management on the local level. That was the main reason I left the company.

GOOD SAFETY,MANAGEMENT WAS ALRIGHT,FUN CO WORKERS,WEATHER,MEETING CUSTOMERS.

A large company that lacks a well-defined culture and does not provide stability and advancement opportunities for all employees.

A typical day at Waste Management involves a lot of time spent with your assigned business unit(s). This part of the job is very enjoyable because of the interaction and the feeling that you're making a difference. The downside is there is a lot of time spent driving from one location to another, which takes time away from other pressing issues. Because – more...  of so much time driving, you find yourself needing to work from home, which can interfere with worklife balance. Waste Management could also be a little more employee friendly; it seems that terminating employees is the rule more so than the exception. I believe that termination should be the final recourse, not the first. – less

Great place to work home every night company has alot of employee benefits. They have alot of incentives for employees also.

Answered inbound customer service questions, researched individual account information, and handle all customer complaints, inquiries in a responsible and timely manner.

I haven't met anybody so far, that would like to work in garbage.

A typical day at work is starting at 7 am, contacting my employees and have a brief safety talk. Then I proceed to check will all of my vendors to make sure they are all working diligently. I then proceed to different conference calls through out the day to discuss different projects that we are working on to save the customer money. I am also in charge – more...  of all equipment and making sure that everything is in safe working condition. I am the project manager of a multi million dollar yearly contract. My job scope changes daily, I have different roles and responsibilities I have to fulfill everyday, it just depends on what challenge comes next. – less

I absolutely loved working for this company! maybe its just because I started out in this company and this is were I learned almost everything. The people I worked with made it just that much better, I got along with everyone that surrounded me so it was less intimidating. I cant wait too get another opportunity too put my foot in the door.

management is stupit at the port albany they have know clue what their doing. Then they sit their and tell me how long it takes to go make a pick up of 45 mins not when you get a DOT 1 inp. that takes 45 mins to hour and 1/2. then the mangment have know clue about what needs to happen with CDL driver at the home offices.

very long days, preached safety but expected high productivity
