Republic Services Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I've found Republic Services to be a great place to work with good growth potential and a place who definitely do not discriminate and it's a place that we all cannot do without. Thank you Republic Services for all we do"

"Republic Services is a national company specializing in keeping states, cities, and communities clean and safe. The focus on customer service and retention is key in sustaining relations with government entities on every level. I was provided opportunities to grow and expand in my time with this company."

"It's not too bad, but looking for something different."

"I'm not a proponent of the company at all. They do not encourage promotion from within, have limited interest in the employee goals and development. The hours are long with no written time frames for work/life balance. Additionally, the onboarding process is very vague with limited interaction with leadership. Overall, it's been a very bad experience."

"No work life balance, horrible management"

"Great place to work. Advancement is easy to achieve."

"It's a very good Training Facility no room to move up favoritism the equipment is always broke and always down because of maintenance I'm just ready for a new career to grow"

"I've worked with Republic for 5 years. Its transitioned into a strong selling organization during this time with strong margin and Revenue growth"

"Great Work/Life Balance. Great Culture."

"Overall its a good company but some departments need improvement"

"Great coworkers, no micro-management, and a clear path for success. Payscale does not fit the job requirements, however. Not a lot of room for advancement that I can see thus far; I believe employees should be rewarded more for their efforts. 4/5 stars is my opinion. I would recommend friends or family to work here, but to have certain expectations in mind."

"Corporate allocates 2-2.25% per department for performance reviews. No cost of living assessments. Therefore, every year you stay, you lose money as COLA in AZ is upwards of 2.5% a year. No promotion path No incentive bonuses"

"Recently worked at Republic Services, enjoyed the free fresh fruit, the cool coffee makers, with espresso, lattes, etc. Filtered water. Wear casual clothes, including jeans and tennis shoes. However the environment was not realistic. Had the feeling of "The Stepford Wives". If you make one slight move against the system, or voice an opinion, you will NOT fit into their CULTURE. On top of learning all of the steps it takes in their systems to log one call!"

"Republic Services has attempted to centralize Customer Service in 3 large regional Customer Resource Centers (CRC): Charlotte NC, Indianapolis IN, and Chandler AZ. So far this massive change in structure has been a disaster and the so-called managers running the Chandler CRC do not have a clue how to actually provide effective customer service; they are only focused on meeting some arbitrary 'production' number to beat the other 2 CRC's. The computer systems are still in early stages of development/use and the tools used by the representatives are cumbersome and often do not work or are wrong. The performance expectations of both the workers and the supervisors are unrealistic considering the total lack of support provided to the staff."

"If you do not value yourself at all, want to waste your time NOT learning any new skills that can be utilized at the next level or if you want to work for a company that does NOT value their employees or their customers, then sign yourself right up. Constant price increases on accounts, even if there are contracts in place with set pricing, not being paid on time, having to recite a foolish script every time you visit a customer while your ride along, a do nothing all day Supervisor, monitors you like a child, being told that your commission structure will completely change 9 months ago and are still in limbo on how you will be paid going forward, like non communication between departments, with local or area management and enjoy a company where you have no control over if you lose an account or not, then this place is for you. Being successful here is a joke and and the lack of opportunity is staggering. Just because you are a publicly traded company DOES NOT necessarily make you a good company. Wall Street, shareholders and sucking up to management is the culture bread here. While trash and recycling services are needed in our society, it is truly an unrewarding and thankless industry that virtually every customer you have hates you because the driver, helpers, customer service department do not have the the common sense to do the right thing in the time of uncertainty. Oh, wait, that is one of their mantras. Doing what is right by the customer in the time of indecision. I have been in the work force a long time and have been very successful. I have a family to take care of. This place, people, is not the answer to having a promising career in Sales. Good luck!"
