Waste Connections Environment Employee Reviews

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

No one has anything bad to say about any of the other co-workers. Everyone takes responsibility for their own duties, and does them in a timely and fashionable manner.

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.

my opinion does not matter.

Review from Finance Dept

Fire the older managers and get some fresher ideas rolling

Review from Finance Dept

Getting employees to come to work

Review from Operations Dept

Safety, listening more, team work, Not about I its about US attidude needs more of a focus.

Review from Operations Dept

Site management should be looked at with a more outside view

Review from Operations Dept

Start by supporting your employees instead of tearing them down. We do good work, don't just point out mistakes or problems. Leadership needs to improve their communications skills and learn how to treat their employees as real people, not just a number.
