Pros

Waste Management is a very good company to work for as a whole, but if local management does not like you they can railroad you out and it is very much a buddy system and not measures on your abiities. The higher management is for the company, but the lower management is just about protecting thier jobs.

Cons

They do not like suggestions from lower managers and treat the drivers like a number.
