Waste management employees?
Anybody here work or have worked for Waste Management? I have been employeed by a local township's DPW for the past few years and am just looking for something new with better pay. The base pay is 3 grand more than i make with my overtime already. Anyway, I was one of many who applied for a roll off driver position and am one out of a handful who had an interview scheduled.
I believe the pay was $21 or $21.42/hour and anything over 40 hours was 1.5x pay.
How do they treat their employees? Is overtime as common as the lady on the phone made it sound (3-6 hours a week)? How often are you paid? How often do you get raises and how much is a raise on average? Am I going to hate a first shift set of hours (I'm used to being at work at six but the lady said as early as three)?

Don't get me started on Waste Management. I drive for Blue Diamond, been in the business for over 10 years, and I know a few thing about Waste. Ill just answer your questions.
You may apply for a roll-off job, but unless you have years of experience, you are more than likely going to start off by working on a rear packer, then work your way up. All refuse collection companies work like that.
25% of our employees have come from Waste, and I hear nothing but horror stories about them. They treat their employees like ****, and if you are close to the top of the pay scale, you basically have a target painted on you... which means if you mess up once, you're getting canned.
Overtime is always plentiful, expecially on roll-off and front end.
Raises are every year IIRC, about 25 - 50 cents.
Hours vary, but most start times are between 3:30am and 5:30am.
Hope that helps.

Thanks. Ended up doing my interview, they submitted me to the supervisor but got cold feet about it from many horror stories as I asked around more
