Pros

As a Driver we get to see a lot of things that most people don't see ever.

Cons

I have worked for the company for 10 yrs, have done a lot and seen alot. I have seen this company go from screw the customer to screw the employee's to where we are now which is screw both of them. You can never and I mean never do anything right even if you do they change the rules! We just completed a employee survey which was supposed to be anonymous but yet they asked for the last 5 numbers of your social security number, I called HR and asked how this was anonymous and they told me if I dont like it I need to quit because it was clear to them that if an employee has this question than they don't trust the company. I was floored, I had drank the kool-aid and bought into the whole one team one goal theory. But now this type of response on top of going to a 4 day work week losing almost 10 thousand a year, while to company posted a 1.1 billion in sales, they give an across the board 3% raise even if you miss stops, have customer complaints, accidents, call in sick etc. The middle management is afraid of losing power so they dont give you all the info you need in order to complete your job, Biosystems is the biggest losing adventure this company has ever taken on period. As far as growing the company by acquisitions it has created some real divides they are still managers that will say "well we do things the BFI way and that is that", or "Were Biosystems and you dont tell us how to run this". I can not wait until Waste Management gets rolling I will be moving on to the BIG GREEN!

Pros

I worked alongside a team that was consistently supportive and always willing to make time to answer questions, which made a meaningful difference in my day-to-day experience. There was a real sense of collaboration, and having people who were approachable and dependable made it much easier to navigate a fast-paced, high-volume sales environment. It helped create a bit of stability and camaraderie even during more demanding or repetitive parts of the role. Overall, it was a company operating as a leader in the space, which added to the scale and pace of the experience

Cons

This was my experience working at Shred-it, which is a subsidiary of Stericycle.If you’ve ever wondered what zero autonomy feels like, this is your spot. The day was a nonstop loop of cold calls, cold walk-ins, and more cold calls, with a mandatory “smile and dial” every morning. On the Shred-it team selling waste bins, it often felt like creativity and independent thinking were… safely shredded. Management could be extremely hands-on to the point of micromanagement, with frequent check-ins and scripted role-play scenarios that rarely reflected real conversations in the field. Communication style could come across as condescending or patronizing at times, especially on team calls, which made for an uncomfortable environment when feedback felt more critical than constructive.
