Worst company I've ever worked but did have the pleasure of walking out and knowing my worth. Management and the Owner constantly lie to you and tell you what you want to hear, they will use you until they hire your replacement.  I worked there for 6 months and seen 17 people quit or get replaced in just the Springdale location where there are less than 20 employees. There is little to no room for advancement unless you are willing to lie to customers and take their money without providing a service. You and your family don't mean anything to them, especially if you're in a position that affects productivity and numbers.  They run equipment that would not pass a DOT inspection and cross state lines without using the proper logs when doing so. Upper management make promises to customers when they dont have the inventory , equipment or personnel to commit to those promises and then blame you for their failures.  I know of multiple occasions where people were promised a raise or bonus to stay and work there over accepting a new and better job opportunity and the management and owner refused to hold that agreement. I could go on and on about how horrible this company truly is to work for but I've said enough. You are more than welcome to work here and find out for yourself. I just want to warn you and hope you don't choose this job over a better one if the opportunity is there for you. 

First, look at customer reviews. You will rarely find a happy customer within this company. They do not care about the service they provide at all and they charge customers for the company’s mistakes.
I questioned everything during training because what they were doing to these customers made customers made no sense to me. 
The company doesn’t treat their employees any different than their customers. 
Though there is a clear favoritism that you will notice. 
If you interview for the Fayetteville location, be aware of hiring managers. They may seem nice to your face but the minute you make a mistake, they’ll treat you like the gum on the bottom of their shoe. They are not professional or mature enough to be in a management position. 
As for the training, they don’t even know what they are teaching because no body is on the same page. You will hear something different from every person and it’s your a** that gets chewed if you make a mistake based on what you were taught. 
The benefits and pay all sound great going into this job but it’s not worth it at all for all you have to deal with. 
Beware, they also don’t really use a point system, warnings/write ups.. if you mess up in anyway, there is no communication or opportunity to fix, you are just fired on the spot no warning. 
I truly would not waste your time or hope this is a good opportunity for you because it is not. 

Hands down the worst place I've ever worked. The environment is toxic and negative. Everyone leaves for a reason, they cannot keep employees. They have a pattern of mass hiring. Then, the people either leave because it's so miserable there, or they are fired unjustly. There are better places to work and that will be better for both personal and professional growth. I would recommend to continue with your job search elsewhere, this company is awful. You will be wasting your time and talent for a company that does not value its employees. Read the reviews and make your own decision, but beware. Management is not supportive. In addition, the rules and policies are archaic and outdated- like from the 60's or 70's. They are not current in the times, nor are they a company that will support your growth.

What is the best part of working at the company?
There's plenty of overtime plus decent wage. But that is all. The vehicle's are old and needs lot's of repairs. Safety is terrible. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dealing with the trucks always breaking down. Can't finish your route. If the mechanic do come to fix the truck, they'll only patch things up and send you on your way which hours has passed but you still have finish your route. Now it's late at night to go home.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The environment is not safe. It's up to you to put yourself out there. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Doing a pre trip inspection when you start work just to find out whatever your truck had wrong  or broken it wasn't fixed and you still have to do your route

Its not a bad job. If you can collect, management never bothers you. Getting promoted at CARDS is hard because they buy smaller trash companies. As part of the acquisition process, they award management positions to the previous owners, employees, or their family. A lot those managers are on the slow side. I received no training. If you have collections experience and know basic accounting and billing procedures, you will be fine. The Customer Service team are fun people. If I had not been moved away from where they sat, I may not have quit. There are a lot of billing errors from accounts being set up incorrectly and there is zero accountability. If you just want to collect a paycheck this is the job for you. If you take work seriously, like I do, it most likely will not be a good fit. The CEO is a cool guy.

My experience working at this company was disappointing overall. While there were a few positive coworkers, the workplace environment suffered from poor communication, lack of organization, and inconsistent management expectations. Work-life balance was not respected, and concerns raised by staff frequently went unheard. Drivers would voice concerns about trucks that were clearly not safe to drive, but threatened with their job if the refused. Opportunities for growth and recognition were limited, and favoritism appeared to play a role in decision-making. Morale among employees was noticeably low, and turnover seemed high as a result. I believe the company has potential to improve, but significant changes in leadership and communication would be necessary to create a more professional and healthier work environment.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Really great management support. High pay and a family atmosphere.  Cards really feels like home.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Trash industry has it own unique set of challenges.  Strees with job is usually caused by outside forces presenting challenges to our day to day operations. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Saftey Saftey Saftey! Work experience is rewarding and challenging. Culture is more or less structured to promote hard working individuals and help to develop people for future success. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Try to identify deffencencies and exude excellence.  Striving for success and customers satisfaction.

A typical day consisted of pulling the same trucks in day after day for the same problem just to say oh yeah we don't have any parts to fix them. I learned you shouldn't always do what your boss tells you to do because they may fire you for it the first chance they get. Hmm well my boss forged an annual inspection signed my name and I had never even looked at the truck so I'd say poor management. Hmm hardest part of the job probably not going postal after getting wrote up for having overtime but then being told to drive three hours just to get parts that we should have already had, ten minutes before your supposed to clock out "so you don't get overtime" the very next day

Upper management has SERIOUS communication issues, there is constantly something wrong due to this. This company also likes to promise people jobs and either hire someone else to do it a week later or they will just fire you instead of putting you into the position. You will probably get paid less than everyone else that works for this company. Do not try to have a real life at all because there is no balance it is cards cards cards 24/7. The google reviews and BBB is so bad that they are paying their employees to give their own good reviews for better ratings. This is a horrible company all the way around, management doesn’t take care of it employees and the company doesn’t take care of its customers.

What is the best part of working at the company?
When it's fully staffed, things are decent, unfortunately it's hardly ever fully staffed.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Do not go into management, unless you enjoy being talked down to, ridiculed, and completely embarrassed on calls. This company is highly unprofessional.  

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Unprofessional, extremely. There are some good people who work there, but most people in management don't last 10 months. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
minimum 11 hours for managers, usually 10-12 for drivers.
