Ace Recycling and Disposal

Job seemed really great while I was training. They offer nice safety and attendance bonuses.

However the truck I was given was meant to handle trash (no crusher panel) and was terrible at compacting down cardboard, so naturally I was given the recycling route.

Company solution to when the hopper is jammed with cardboard is for the driver to shut off operation of the truck, climb into hopper and manually crush it down. I understand that this isn't regular household debris, but it is still trash. Debris I encountered, in addition to cans and plastic, included nails, discarded cat litter and dirty diapers.

I even figured a workaround solution of taking multiple smaller loads instead of two larger ones. This enabled me to complete my route faster without the risk of climbing into the hopper. Management shot that idea down within days.

If I had proper equipment, I would still be working there now. I never felt personally attacked: only that my opinions, ideas and concerns didn't matter.

Was great when I first started but quickly figured out that if your Polynesian you will be able to advance, have a good truck, better routes, etc..... most management is family so if you run into problems you are unable to get it corrected, at first was family oriented but when manager changed and we got new supervisor now it's absolutely not falimy oriented, better not get sick because they will take your raise away, pretty much need to be a robot to work here.... Honestly I would try another place because here favoritism is horrible and makes it worse you can't get any protfixed because most the bosses are family so they do nothing to help and as I said you better not get sick.....

first 6 months i had very bad truck not even have AC 
every 2 days truck was broke down 
they hire people from their friends and giving to nice truck to them does not matter you do good job or not 
working hard 50-60 hours a week if you call 1 day for sick they put you on 120 days report ( which means  if you not coming to work next 120 days you will lose your job ) 
you do not have any insurance . basicly you pay for it if you want to 
you work 12 hours a day and giving you 30 min lunch break and they are clocking out you automaticly even you take your break or not does not matter 

I’ve worked here for 9 years in June. This is a great waste hauling company. Local & family owned business and they treat you like family. In fact, I’ve heard a lot of people say this is my Ace family. Our owners believe in us and invest in us. Each department is different, but each plays a vital role in our success. This is not an easy job but if you are a hard worker and want a lifelong career this is the place for you.

I've worked here for over 10 years. Its changed a lot but so has my job. Overtime is abundant, working a 40+hr work week is common. Lots of work, always something to do to keep busy. Pay is pretty good, gets the bills paid and some. The hardest part about the job would be the work load, its massive, and always growing. They are very accommodating for personal time as long as its communicated with management. Very consistent work, and as I experienced pandemic proof. 

This place promise the world to you. But only if you give your life to Ace. Not allowed to talk to anybody or do anything. They don’t care how long you’ve been there or if you do good work they only care about making management look good. 
Management there is a joke in the shop. Assistant  shop manager just does what he wants and doesn’t actually care about the employees. Make a simple mistake and get demoted or fired. No real appreciation for the mechanics. Constantly treated like you are expendable. Honestly don’t know how they keep employees. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Super friendly people. Great management. Equal opportunity. Treat everyone like a family. If you got you CLASS A class B this place is great for beginners 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Non. Just traffic on the road with people 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great environment and they make sure you get all training done for safe and better environments 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Get in and get out. Easy works

Submitting my resume to Ace was the best oopsies I have ever made! From the moment I walked through the doors for my interview I felt welcomed and appreciated. Like any business improvements can be made, I feel I can voice my opinion and it be heard. I finally understand when people say they have a "work family", I have found my work family here with Ace!!

I have worked here for over 10 years and the place has changed a lot in this time, but so has my job. Work is very consistent, you will always have something to do. Overtime is abundant, and they pay well. Shift differentials are offered for swing shift and grave shift. During the pandemic my hours/work load didn't change at all. Very accommodating for personal life things as long as its communicated with management. 

Trucks always breaking down. Unsafe to take on the road. They take 30 min of pay out for lunch daily even when you never get to take lunch the clock out your lunch for you. Overloaded workload. Poor routing. Shamed for speaking up or standing up for your safety. Hierarchy. Placed in extremely outdated equipment and expected to keep up with same workload. Lucky to get a truck with AC that works for a day or two. 160 degrees in cab of truck. Told it is not a safety issue even after explaining symptoms of heat exhaustion.
