Waste Management Employer Reviews

I supervised numerous employees and assisted other supervisors with computer input.

Overall this company (the company itself, and NOT the people here) has been decent to me, but don't plan on moving up at all here unless you kiss management's you-know-what because hard work goes right out the door. You can also look forward to being backstabbed and lied about by fake people while these hypocrits carry on doing whatever they want. If – more... you're looking for a flat-rate job to keep a steady (and low) income while remaining a drone in the shadows then this is the place for you! Goodbye WM!! – less

This conpany is horrible they have not one care about their employees. Its favoritism throughout the company. Being part of the in crowd is the only way to a promotion. Hours are horrible you are put on ot without being advised. You can switch your entire life around for WM but they won't compromise with you. The pay is an insult for the work I do especially – more... with the bonuses being cut down to where they are. Wm used to be a fun place to work when I started now its just a job. The turn over rate is horrible I've witnessedva whole new staff in 3 years. People are fired for the littlest things and there is no consideration if you are late due to bad weather its kill yourself and be at work to make us money so we can pay you guys pennies. Not a good place to work dont waste your time – less

I enjoyed my years at WM. I was exposed to endless knowledge in the customer service & sales field.

I would not recommend a Sales Position in the Industrial Division in the Midwest states. Extremely high turn over for no reason. One Director has terminated over 20 people for no reason in the last few years. HR allows it to happen. They will not stick up for the employee's. One would think a few red flags might be raised, but they don't care.

Used – more... to be a good company but not anymore. Do not waste your time with this company IMHO – less

A place with good employees that are focused on work. Upper management expects entry level managers to make up the shortfalls of limited labor force.

Trash to gas is an interesting technology and is sometime difficult to deal with.

I consider myself very fortunate to have worked for Waste Management. It was a constant learning experience with top notch training programs. The people on all levels management, co workers and customers were a pleasure to work with. I enjoyed selling our services.

Managed a B.O.B with more than 5,000 customers, including local, regional, and national accounts
Exceeded monthly, quarterly, and yearly sales goals
World performer and Emerald Circle winner

I used to love this company. After replacing upper management my whole life changed. I would not suggest working for WMI. Its sad when your area manager gets fired and one year later 6 out of 18 fleet managers like myself are once again looking for a job.We seen it coming.

The people are great! The hours are good and benifits are tremendous

The work was interesting and provided me with many opportunities for expanding my skill-set.

I was a temp here, and it was a good environment to work in. I would deft accept a full time position there

Typically work on 15 - 20 agreements actively at a time. Learned how to manage multiple priorities with my customers and meet their needs for value and timeline. The Supply Chain management allows me the freedom to work with my internal customers to develop relationships and meet the customer's needs. My coworkers are great to work with. There is a – more... can do attitude and a flow to work concept to provide assistance where needed. The most enjoyable part of my job is the opportunity to mentor the less experienced co-workers. – less

Stable full-time position at a very established company, yet very little room for growth or advancement

A typical day at Waste Management is the typical day of a trash man. Hardest part of the job is during the summertime, most enjoyable part would have to be the winter.

Waste Management is a diverse and challenging work environment, with plenty of room for advancement. The senior leadership team is supportive and encouraging.

Transfer station supervisor, maintain supply distribution, payroll, maintenance, and shipping and receiving. Responsible for all decisions regarding transfer station financial, safety and the compliance of city and state rregulations and ordinance

Very good working environment. excellent team of workers .and a very good work ethic toward safety

a typical day began at 5 am, after a safety meeting get the truck prepared and begin the route. picked up residential customers trash and recycling and went to the transfer station. I learned how to operate class B vehicles efficiently. Management didn't care about the employes. Co workers were often frustrated. Hardest part of the job was staying positive – more... after management told us only negative things. I enjoyed starting early and being off early – less
