This job started out great. I switched jobs for this one and was promised the schedule I desired. The first week I worked there I recieved 4 schedule changes. They told me I had to work the 5 days and do 2 properties. This job is 5 plus hours of exercise. If you aren't built like a super hero then walk away from this. They give you little time to adjust; they act like normal people workout for 5 hours with no breaks on a daily basis. The job was difficult with just 1 person with me and they said I'd have to work alone. This job can have you out until 3 am. It doesn't feel safe to be alone on a property. I don't care how big you are, people should work together for safety reasons and increase efficiency.The company doesn't care about the employees. They will always talk down on you no matter how hard you work. I had my first complaint filed to me because I didn't check a certain area even though I was never trained in the first place. Out of all my jobs I've never been written up or had a complaint so I was shocked. Instead of offering guidance and TRAINING they will have people watch you and penalize you. I honestly feel like this company is trying to ruin themselves. 
They are severely understaffed for good reasons. For a company that needs people they sure are picky and strict with who they hire. So a tip to the company, if you need workers then work with their schedule. It's better to have a person work 3 or 4 days than nobody at all. Also, team work goes a long way. When people work together instead of alone it makes people work harder. The work load would be split up and your workers would have more energy to get things done. 

Worked here briefly and compared to previous positions the work load is ludicrous, do not believe anyone who tells you the job is "Easy", "Not hard", or "Straight-forward" you will be expected to do the impossible on a daily basis and no matter what you do it is not good enough unless  you are killing yourself with work. Finished a mountain of work and are beyond caught up with your duties? Congratulations they will find a crisis for you somewhere and expect you to be all hands on deck to solve even on days off, there is no respect for your time and you will often see yourself working very very very long hours for the same amount of pay, there is no offset for shorter days as you are expected to be at certain places at certain times. Long story short with the amount of issues you must deal with and time you have to put in you make less than $10 a hour. There ARE better jobs EVERYWHERE. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
It's not hard just busy, go from building to building and pick up trash from trash cans and recycling.  When truck gets full to the compactor.   Most residents are very nice some not.  But you get paid on time every time.  You work by yourself so you only have you to blame if it takes longer.  Get there get it done and go home.  That's simple.  Not a retirement just work and pay.  Simple 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Really nothing.  It's simple, just show up pull trash bags go home.  Simple

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Really not to bad.  We have a little community board that I think is cool because for most this is just extra money.  But really no one screaming at you if your a good worker.  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Leave house around 7.15 go to my location.  Take pictures of what we need to take pictures.  Clock in ( all most forgot). Pull bags.  When finished take pictures, clock out( ha ha). Go home take shower and get ready for my next day.

14 buildings, 2 openings at each building, 3 floors in each opening, 4 residents per floor, (yes, you have to go upstairs each building and grab numerous bags of trash, a resident can have up to 3 bags per day) between $25-$35 per resident per month, trash porter makes $1,200 per month.
14x2=28 buildings
3x4=12 residents per 1 building
28x12=336 residents total on property give or take
336x$25=$8,400
336x$35= $11,760
$8,400-$1200=$7,200
$11,760-$1,200=$10,560
No company truck, no deferential pay for using your own vehicle, no raises, no promotions, no incentives, no PPE provided, no holiday pay, faulty unserviced equipment, poor management or lack there of, and the icing on the cake is, the residents act like they pay you to do the job. When in fact, you will be getting the short end of the stick. Long story short. It doesn’t add up and it’s not worth the wear and tear on your vehicle or body. They are making money off you breaking your back. 

I responded to a add for this company, it advertised 7p-9pm, $40 a day to throw away trash at a local apartment complex. I thought well this would be a good solution for me as a quick part time job. I was wrong. the actual required work time would not be 2 hours a night, but more like 4 to 5 hours a night. I ended up not only having to throw away all the trash for 6 buildings, floor by floor pushing  a cart but they also wanted me to throw away daily about 16 dog feces containers a night as well. oh and you are by yourself.  its nasty and unfulfilling work.  when i asked for a increase in pay to compensate me for the large amount of work and travel to get there I was rebuffed. 

this company is rapidly expanding and trying to get new contracts all the time but wont compensate hard workers.

If you dont mind all of those things, then go right ahead and work here.

I wouldn’t reckons this company for someone who prefers to have a clear understanding of company policies. The presidents doesn’t really care about his people and it shows through his words and actions. You are not given the correct tools to do your job effectively. They expect you to just figure it out with what little tools they give you. Their procedures are not in place and when they do make a change alot of times they push the work down on the employees instead of actually testing the system.  Extremely unorganized and their administration is definitely over whelmed. 

The pay is not equivalent to the headache and stress of doing the job. The best part of my job is literally my direct supervisor that does all she can. The company itself is horrible low pay. They don’t keep positions filled and expect everyone to balance the work load no extra pay. No PTO No sick pay and they expect you to do the job out in the storm and rain still at the same pay while they mislead you to believe you get paid extra if you have to wait it out but you don’t. They don’t provide any clothes or work shoes everything you do out of your own pocket. 

There was little to no communication during the hiring process. I had to actually track down the manager on my start date in order to find out where I would be working. They regularly lied about bonuses. There is little to no communication. The "training" consisted of a person rushing me through the process so that he could get back to his normal routine. From start to finish, it was the most incompetent and unprofessional company I have ever worked for.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Possible flexibility for time. A lot of bad nights but slow nights help you finish faster 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No benefits, insurance, paid holidays and sick time. Basic position with no incentives . Sad position.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Terrible. No incentives for good employees. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Heavy trash loads and no help enforcing violations.

This is a fairly new company and expanding fast.  The owners do not have a good understanding of structural responsibility.  They do not follow the chain of command.  Upper management must feel the gap when lower management fails to do their parts.  Even the owner pulls trash when the district manager does not follow through.  This company lacks structure and chain of command.  They will work you 7 days a week and 20+ hours per night to get the job done.  Their is no work / life when at this job.  Would not recommend this job to anyone.
