Waste Management Inc. Reviews
Rating 4.23 out of 5 22 reviews
By far, this is the best company I have ever worked for. I like everything about this compay. I wish they gave mandatory annual raises.
To start with, the obvious: The pay and benefits are decent compared to multiple other potential employers at entry level. The job stability is high, as you'll never hurt for opportunities to bring home a paycheck.
That said, the training is near non-existent. New hires are frequently thrown into the job with very little guidance in the administrative setting, including supervisors and managers who desperately need it most. The company not only does this, but often insists on pushing individuals into covering two separate jobs if they are promoted out of one, as the old position is never filled.
There are certainly worse employers to work for, but my time in management has turned me off to the company to a great degree. The support network just isn't there, yet they pile more and more responsibility on to eat into your person life. Typical corporate America.

Best Company to work for. The company is a fortune 250 company who puts the focus on its people. What more can you expect?
