Pros

The management, especially mid-level, had a good attitude towards their employees and to me, a contract employee. Recology is mostly employee-owned, so there are a lot of benefits and decent, competitive pay for the route drivers.

Cons

Some of the trash routes seemed to be comparatively "uneven" as far difficulty and length of time to finish all the work. It seemed that Recology was trying a new way to rectify this by installing meters and cameras in the trucks.

Pros

Supportive coworkers, good employee owned company with opportunities to be promoted from within. Just have to put in your time and provide solid work results via leadership qualities and strong KPI performance.

Cons

Tough Union environment to work in, and management structure is a little chaotic and inconsistent. Need to be very flexible, because policy changes happen quickly and often.
