What do you like best about the leadership team?

Leadership Reviews

I can only truly speak about Gage Levine because he is the one I've worked with. He is a great leader! He is always willing to help me without hesitation. Not only is he teaching me about my job, but he also takes the time to explain the business as a whole. He seems to really care about his team!

Response from Waste Connections

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.

Review from Customer Support Dept
Response from Waste Connections

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

The best part is that i am able to get overtime.

Review from HR Dept

It would be the Flexibility and PTO.

Review from Operations Dept

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

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

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

More pay for number of hours worked under salary pay

Review from Operations Dept

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

Review from Customer Support Dept

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

My coworkers dont get along, they have sides

Understanding people better. Taking the time to get to know them and to practice/hone their own skills to be a better leaders. Caring about the job and having passion for it in a way that makes people motivated to win each day.

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.

Review from Admin Dept

TOO MUCH DRAMA AND GOSSIP

Review from Customer Support Dept

Just more experience and teamwork.

Review from HR Dept

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Environment Reviews

I think there needs to be better communication between the staff and the drivers, now that I have been here for a while, I can feel tension between them, and it makes me uncomfortable to really converse conversation with them.

The company needs to listen to their employees.

Review from Customer Support Dept

Better pay and better pay

Review from Operations Dept
Response from Waste Connections

Thank you for your feedback. Our “open door” policy encourages all employees to address individual concerns with their Local or Regional management teams or their respective HR Managers. You can also contact us at [email protected].

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.

Leaders who care about the growth of the employees that report to them.

They were open an honest about the pace of the business, and they were also open to answering all my questions. They also reassured me that they were never shy about promoting from within.

Posted 17 days ago

achieving my goals and interacting with coworkers

Review from Sales Dept

Being abke to make connections with employees across the company

Review from HR Dept

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

Outlook Reviews

What's going wrong is that there is a cultural and racial split at the job, alot of gossiping, and at some point in time, I think that issues between the drivers, mechanics, and office staff needs to be addressed before something bad happens

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

Review from Sales Dept

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.
