Flexible hours, but truck issues add stress - Lead Driver Priority Waste Employee Review

If you're looking for a company that values people, progress, and purpose, this is the place to be. The team is supportive, growth is encouraged, and the technology is top-notch. I’ve never worked at a company so open to ideas and innovation. Community involvement is also a big plus—it really feels like we’re making a difference.

Independent workflows can be a challenge at first, but it encourages ownership and problem-solving skills. Some roles may require more self-direction than others, which might not be for everyone.

- Fast-paced environment: Great for developing problem-solving and time management skills. - Hands-on logistics experience: Opportunity to coordinate routes, manage driver communications, and handle real-time operational challenges. - Team collaboration: Frequent interaction with drivers, dispatch, and other departments enhances communication skills. - Exposure to the waste management industry: Useful for anyone pursuing a short-term career in logistics or operations.

- Long hours: Regularly extended shifts with limited flexibility. - No overtime pay: Extra hours were not compensated. - Weekend work expectations: Frequently asked to work weekends, sometimes with little notice. - Use of personal cell phone for work: Required to handle calls and texts without reimbursement, blurring work/life boundaries. - Work-life balance challenges: Demanding schedule made it difficult to maintain personal time. - Poor management: Concerns or issues raised to management are often ignored or dismissed. - Lack of upward communication: Management lacks the ability or willingness to escalate issues to decision-makers who can implement meaningful changes.
