Pros

The pay was slightly above average, Benefits are good if you can find someone who can actually explain them to you and understand them. Diversity is a big thing at WM, you would never know who you may meet there. They do promote from within(not always good)

Cons

First and foremost, they have managers that manage managers that manage, managers, and they manage supervisors and they manage team leads and they manage a handful of employees. You have multiple "supervisors, managers, or team leads" telling you different ways to do the same thing. There is too much micromanagement which in turn makes it so being promoted 3 rungs up the ladder is a minimal increase in pay and large increase in work. They like to hire family, daughters, mothers, brothers, girlfriends, husbands, uncles, etc. It seems as though these get that special treatment. Really surprised they have not been punished for nepotism yet. The office is filled with "clicks" if you're in with the cool kids you are quickly promoted to positions you know nothing about. The office is a lot like high school, the biggest issue with the company is that no one wants to be there, and if they do its because they spend 90% of their doing something other than work. When there is agents in the company walking around talking to people with customers on hold they do not get in trouble because they are treated different. They reward and encourage employees to report other agents for doing something incorrect, they want to hold you to certain metrics which are really not important to them. Then you have some employees spend 3 hours with customers on hold or walk around doing nothing and then they will penaltize you because you werent empathic enough when a customer called in for a 5th time, telling you a driver or that agent who left them on hold for 3 hours told them they would get their trash serviced today but then they will promote that agent. The biggest problem with this company is favoritism and allowing relatives to work in the same company and promoting these relatives because of their relationships with these people. They do everything to put you down when you are on the phones at the front line. You are held to a higher standard when you are at the bottom, you need to do more work and stay on top of your work more. You cant even call ANY other department in the company.

Pros

to be honest no pros.

Cons

Working here was stressful, I was starting to deal with anxiety and panic attacks especially when dealing with my Supervisor who was awful since the moment he arrived. I'm one to always be respectful no matter what but at some point you loose respect and you can't allow anyone to disrespect doesn't matter if he's your boss. They fire the hard working people while keeping the ones that do more damage in the work place. Ones that could hurt other employees yet nothing was done while firing the good ones. The Manager that arrived before I was let go was even worst! I wasn't sure what I needed to let her know or not know because since day one when I communicated with her she just brushed me off and never got back to me about anything or she told me to take her off all the emails she was attached to. Then threaten me on an email if I didn't show up to work when I had requested a day off. I mean there's a lot more I can say about both of them. Now about HR... after I was let go I requested termination documents and personnel file in January I waited a month to do a follow up got the run arounds then I was told they were going to get back to me. I waited and did another follow up they ignored my email I did another follow up and got ignored again we are now in April still nothing.
