      Pros

      I have worked at similar companies, but Veolia's training materials are exceptionally good. Also, most of the trucks are automatic, which makes them soooooo much easier to drive. The compensation and benefits are great, especially the $65 per diem. Environmental Specialists and Drivers get a good amount of overtime. Finally, the company maintains exceptionally strong quality control and logistics standards.

      Cons

      Supervisors will complain to upper management for minor (and sometimes non-existent) performance and safety issues with new employees. I got terminated without any warning because of this. They want to see employees busy round the clock in the office. The company's safety standards are overly strict and tedious. The Environmental Specialist position is much more labor-intensive than similar positions at other companies. Also, getting a Class B Commercial Driver's License can be incredibly difficult, especially for employees who don't go to trucking school. And finally, most employees and even management are vulgar, some shockingly so.

      Pros

      Great schedule. Good pay. Great benefits.

      Cons

      In the middle of a merger. A lot of changes recently. Not necessarily bad.

      Pros

      Good exposure to a large, complex organization with cross-functional collaboration. Opportunities to take on responsibility and learn quickly if you are proactive. Some strong internal frameworks and experienced individuals to learn from. Visibility across different teams and business units.

      Cons

      Lack of standardized processes creates unnecessary inefficiencies and rework. Too much reliance on individual knowledge instead of scalable systems. Cross-team communication is often reactive rather than coordinated, which slows execution. Roles and ownership are frequently unclear, leading to misalignment and finger-pointing. Tools exist but are not fully implemented or consistently used, resulting in avoidable manual work.
