If you like cliques, living to work, middle of the road pay, legally ambiguous choices, and shoddy equipment this will be a good home for you. Turn over rate is horrible for a reason; you are on call all day everyday regardless of if you have Anything planned. If you don’t answer or turn down a spill you’ll end up with a nasty text or call shortly after. 

Management varies between extremely knowledgeable and not knowing the difference between an acid and a base. 

CDL drivers are just laborers that sometimes drive a truck at most offices. Equipment is within last 5 years but good luck getting them into a shop for repairs. 
Log books and HOS are a joke

Most jobs are going to be either cleaning up trailers with HAZ spills, industrial HAZ, or road side work. Don’t expect road protection due to the cost.

All in all it’s a learning experience and wouldn’t be as bad if it wasn’t for the cliques that form and the inability to plan anything 

My experience so far is this is the best of many environmental/hazmat response companies I have seen over the years. The equipment is new, maintained, and you can have whatever you need to accomplish your objectives.  Savage is privately held, and has strong values, and we have seen great insurance, and bonuses.  Work / life in this industry is difficult, and the “feast / famine” and fast / constantly changing pace is not for everyone. It’s not a 9-5 environment, but when called out for emergencies we get automatic overtime pay rate.  I like the company commitment to safety, and internal advancement due to the rapid growth. Industry wide, there is high turnover, like I said, this line of work is not for everyone, if it’s for you, and you have a work ethic, and drive, you can make great money and advance quickly.  

This company does offer good training, opportunities to learn on heavy equipment, do a variety of work from thruway spills, to chemical spills, and railroad work. The hours are long, many locations are understaffed which leads to a 24/7 on call schedule. Big jobs are exhausting and give you no time to keep personal errands, chores, and obligations in check. This job makes family life extremely difficult and poses many risks to relationships. The pay is not competitive in any sense. Raises are few and far between and for the work you do and the stress that is put on your body and relationships, there are many better opportunities for making more money elsewhere.

If you go to the Waste Services building, it's fine. You would get your overtime, some oncall situations. But if you go to the Cleveland office now you hit a bad situation. This place is not set up properly to support all the work coming in they get. They think they can rely on two people to be oncall 24/7, 365. They should have divided their work between building until properly established or have brought on enough people to have rotating oncall weeks. They are selfish in their desires there and preach good life and health practices, but dont stand by it when working you into a grave away from your life. If you apply to this company make sure you know where you are going.

Started here with the impression that things would get improved. There was so much disrespect and turnover in management it was unreal. They abuse the good employees and baby the bad ones. No raises and you are expected to do your job plus others jobs as well. No room for advancement. Only followed corporate policy if it fit their agenda or upper management was coming to visit. So if you are looking for a paycheck till you find something better then this is the place. If you want a career then I wouldn’t recommend.  

Company is fresh from a merger so the conflict is unreal. Work anywhere from 20 hours to 70 hours because they either have no work or tons of work. Management really has no clue what’s going on. Equipment is mostly broken down worn out. The only good thing is if your fresh out of college and need some certifications for the environmental field they pay for them. Otherwise the atmosphere is depressing and in my opinion the company is a sinking ship.

If you want to have a heart attack from stress or being around dangerous chemicals,  this is the place for you. Management is terrible and varies drastically from shop to shop. Expect to be passed up on all open positions you apply for they like to hire outside of the company. Pay isn't good. Expect an offer of 2-3 dollars less than whats advertised. the work is grueling and you can get called out anytime 365 days a year. every shop is extremely under staffed good luck.

You are on call 24/7 anticipating a chemical spill or some other emergency.  I think we should be called "second responders" because we're probably called right after 911 is called. I like the job because you get to work on interesting emergency situations like derailments or industrial disasters. Supervisors do try and give you a work life balance. Like if you reach 40 hours early in the week then you can  can stay home the rest of the week.

It is unfortunate to see a business where they put monthly revenue before there employees, especially there health. Discriminatory of physical/mental disabilities, even though they're protected under federal law.. they will still fire you. I wouldn't recommend this company to my worst of enemies, if you want to work for an absolute corrupt business.. here is the place for you.

It was decent place to work at one time now not so fun they want you to stay home and wait to be called in to work unless there's jobs that get schedule but that hardly happens any cause there's no salesman there to get work or if you try to tell them a better way of expanding the don't wanna listen some there not very busy
