Clean Harbors Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"Could be a great place but poor just go do it attitude with little information from supervisors, antiquated equipment, little support. Pay pretty much remains at what you start at with minimal increases. Work environment, including offices and rest rooms unsanitary. Lot of pressure and stress to workers very little gratitude and appreciation."

"The middle management creates a toxic environment that causes a high turnover rate."

"Clean Harbors is an acquisition-focused company. It is not an employee-focused company. The CEO brags on CNBC about the billions of dollars in profits then sends letters out annually to employees thanking them for their role in those profits with a comical break down of your benefits value. I find it insulting. Don't send the letters out unless it has a check or a pay increase. The profit money is used to purchase flailing companies. The employees inherited from previous acquisitions are not properly trained, let alone long standing employees..... Raises are not attainable unless you have an offer from another company or have a strong manager that communicates your value efficiently and threatens your leaving if a pay increase is not offered. Mid level employees are stretched thin across all lines of business and departments. When someone quits, the position is no longer available and the workload is dispersed on already overworked individuals. The arrogance felt from the CEO is next level. Believing that this company is a gift to those employed and hard work goes unrewarded. Aside from executive level staff, people are pleasant and easy to get along with."
