Our culture is one of caring and that starts with each individual employee. Please talk with your local manager and share your needs. You are a valued part of the team. Thank you for your honest review.

They need to get better at touching base with each team member. There is a lot of favoritism with the management team.

Thank you for your review. Please talk with your local managers to discuss your concerns. We appreciate you as a teammate and the work that you do each day for our customers.

Leader ship should be about respect to begin with why do I say this management uses the F word in meetings all around the building I don't think that's professional or polite that needs to change ASAP.

Communication and more money and fix this big routes

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Compensation Reviews

salary could be better Based off of 50 hours a week and I'm here 12-14 hours a day

Review from Operations Dept · Posted 12 days ago

The added responsibility with becoming a supervisor from a driver feels like it should come with a raise instead of a deduction of pay. I feel it should be closer to the amount of money working as an hourly employee.

Review from Operations Dept · Posted 12 days ago

Time invested in the day to day does not translate to affordability of living cost in are current economic state. while that is ever evolving it would seem to fall short in my opinion.

Review from Operations Dept · Posted 12 days ago

More pay for number of hours worked under salary pay

The pay/raises are way to low for all the years I've been here

Review from Operations Dept

My co-workers could assist without telling others that I needed the assistance. Also, they could be honest; one of my co-workers has made an accusation that I use my phone while at my desk and my manager accused me of it as if it were fact. She even rewrote my job description to include no phones.

my opinion does not matter.

Review from Finance Dept

Competitive pay and the workers that go above and beyond to be recognized because I feel like even if you work harder then anyone else you will get treated as the slowest person. Even if you help twice as much.

The company needs to listen to their employees.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Outlook Reviews

I am told that it would take a while to learn how WC does things but when I ask for help, I am expected to remember from the first two times of being told or shown. My co-worker says she will help but then she goes to tell my manager that she had to help. My manger projects after meeting w/ her mgr.

Review from Admin Dept

parking is always an issue, every day. If I can work from home one day, I can work from home all days.

Review from Customer Support Dept

The atmosphere within our operations team

Service is not the best. Dumpster deliveries do not get done. Things dont seem to have any urgency in that department. As territory manager, i have to screen these phone calls, and it get overwhelming.

not able to perform my duties, lack of communication on a team level and across the office
