Waste Connections Employee Reviews

Waste Connections is hands down the BEST company I've ever worked for when it comes to company values and mission, team culture, and a job that I enjoy being a part of. It's an exciting company to be a part of - it's been an exciting decade so far looking forward to the next!

Review from HR Dept · Posted 2 days ago

Fast paced, busy but manageable workload. Good culture

Review from Finance Dept · Posted 5 days ago

Within 3 years at Waste Connections, I've grown from a district level employee to a region employee and I wouldn't have been able to do so without the help, guidance, knowledge, and coaching from my previous manager and the supportive relationships I've built throughout the company.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 5 days ago

It is not comparable to other jobs I have worked at, this company is far and above a better environment and cultural. The only other place I've worked at with similar conditions was the U.S. Army.

Review from Executive Dept · Posted 6 days ago

I love the challenges that each day brings and feel like I have a voice and my opinion does matter.

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.

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

Bonus and RSU potential based on performance.

Review from HR Dept · Posted 2 days ago

Potential to earn a bonus/equity bonus

Review from Finance Dept · Posted 5 days ago

My compensation package not only sets me up for success in the present, through my benefits and financial compensation, but also for a successful future with our RSU stock options and 401k match!

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 5 days ago

I have learned more about how to make better investments with my stocks.

Review from Executive Dept · Posted 6 days ago

ESSP program that offers company stock at a discounted rate.

Review from Customer Support Dept · Posted 6 days ago

Base compensation is lower than peers.

Review from Engineering Dept · Posted 6 days ago

benefits should be improved. Compensation should be improved as well and with better bonus structure

Review from HR Dept · Posted 6 days ago

The job requires you to wear a lot of hats that would be worn by multiple people at other companies.

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

Everyone is very collaborative and supportive of one another.

Review from HR Dept · Posted 2 days ago

Can have fun together, while still remaining focused on our goals/tasks

Review from Finance Dept · Posted 5 days ago

Some of the best things about my team are the way we communicate, care for one another, and come together to tackle obstacles and achieve our goals.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 5 days ago

Everyone is generally excited to be a part of the team, and we each contribute something unique to the group and organization.

Review from Executive Dept · Posted 6 days ago

Everyone is treated like family.

Review from Customer Support Dept · Posted 6 days ago

I don't know them enough yet.

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

We celebrate the wins - everyone works hard but we play hard when we celebrate those victories.

Review from HR Dept · Posted 2 days ago

We work hard, but have a good time together doing it

Review from Finance Dept · Posted 5 days ago

Our servant leadership style, evident anywhere you look within the WCN organization and you're welcomed at all locations throughout the company.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 5 days ago

It is inviting to anyone willing to put forth effort and care about what they do. Our company is also above average at maintaining diversity and inclusion.

Review from Executive Dept · Posted 6 days ago

Again, the family feeling atmosphere that WC allows to be part of the expectations.

Review from Customer Support Dept · Posted 6 days ago

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.

The give and take. not scripted, but following the right guidelines

Review from Sales Dept

How comfortable I felt talking and answering my questions. It was like I had known them my whole life.

Review from Customer Support Dept

Opportunity to speak to multiple people/positions before deciding to proceed.

Review from Sales Dept

The steps are standardized so let's stay objective

Review from Sales Dept

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.

Review from Sales Dept

Less get to know you and more experience based questions

Review from Operations Dept

Being on a team that motivates one another and works hard - its such a refreshing company and industry. My team is the BEST!!!!

Review from HR Dept · Posted 2 days ago

Working with the management team

Review from Finance Dept · Posted 5 days ago

The thing that makes me happiest at work is knowing I'm making a difference and my individual contributions are pushing us closer to our goals and leadership is very vocal about their appreciation for the work I do.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 5 days ago

I enjoy what I do I love helping people, it is never routine and I have enhanced skillsets that benefit my career and our team.

Review from Executive Dept · Posted 6 days ago

I love the different challenges that everyday brings.

Review from Customer Support Dept · Posted 6 days ago

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.
