"I have worked for WM since 2004 and continue to be impressed by the quality and range of its service offerings; its people; its passion; and its versatility. The company employs over 50,000 employees covering the US and Canada. It is North America's largest, greenest, waste solutions company. It is an excellent place to work and provides lots of opportunity to learn and grow within the organization. A bit of a steep learning curve, particularly when it comes to the competitors, both large and small local operations."
