Pros

Great team for the most part, but it's a revolving door. Atmosphere can be fun, Travel is fun, but it is long hours and unglamorous work.

Cons

No growth, low pay, megalomaniac CEO who only cares about his image- LOTS of lies to hold that up- do not believe all the awards, he lies/cheats on all the applications/nominations to get them. Low integrity. A lot of work basics are missed- safety, strange clauses on salary terms to cheat you out of money the longer you stay (and are not upfront about it), averaging agreements- they stretch your hours over 2 weeks so they can get away with not paying overtime, low meal compensation that doesn't cover the day's costs, employees have to share hotel rooms in super sketchy hotels to keep costs down. They never hire from within, so you can't move within the company. CEO will leave for the weekend without signing people's pay checks so you have to wait for pay.

Thank you for your feedback, we are sorry to hear that this was your experience, in the short time you were with the company. Travel is a large component of the waste management positions at AET. The opportunity to travel and see different parts of Canada is a great perk in this position, but we recognize that it is not for everyone.
