Waste Connections Employee Reviews

I have mixed feelings about how I feel about the company, when I first came, everything seemed fine, the people were nice and professional. Now that I have been here for a while, I am realizing that things are kind of all over the place and unorganized. I don't see any opportunities for advancement.

been here for a number of years and have grown with the company quite a bit and every year it gets better and hopefully there will be more growth for me.

When I first started it was less than a year and some personal business happened and Ty (DM at the time) went above and beyond to help my family out. That is one of the biggest reasons I'm still at this company; knowing that the managers actually care for their employees.

My time here has been great. I look forward to retiring with this company.

Great place to work equal opportunity

Clear detail about what's expected.

Great people and easy to talk to.

They actually see me as a human and greet me by name, not just a number in a company.

they are very personable and transparent.

They treat me fair and always try to build/empower me

Organize better, and better communication

They need to better understand my needs an an employee and person

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.

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

Not sure yet, we'll see.

I dont know what is all included in it

knowing how much i'm going to be making every week so I can budget easier.

401k and medical insurance are very comprehensive.

It is always on time

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

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.

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.

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

Not sure yet, we'll see.

Very helpful and approachable and willing to jump in and help with anything that is needed.

They can be real with you and tell you what is on their mind, without any repercussions.

hard working and always make a solid team effort at the day's goals.

Coworkers are always happy and willing to help each other. Culture is more than a word here.

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.

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.

TOO MUCH DRAMA AND GOSSIP

Just more experience and teamwork.

waste connections has the best culture. i have work at many places before here and this is by far the best place ive worked with this level of culture.

The people are what make the culture grow and succeed.

we believe strongly in creating a space that everyone looks forward to coming into.

Safety if its not safe nobody will ask you to do it we all really try to make it a great experience

Everyone seems to get a long

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.

Better pay and better pay

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

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

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

The steps are standardized so let's stay objective

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.

Less get to know you and more experience based questions

Providing a service to customers.

interacting with my team. and the drivers.

Coming in and knowing that all of us have each other's backs. The yard tries to work as a complete team.

the people I'm surrounded by and the environment

My DVP is a great person and our neighbors DM also is great

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.

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

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.
