FCC Environmental Services

FCC Environmental is an excellent company for which to work. The training could have been more extensive but the on-the-job-training mistakes were dealt with in a professional manner. 

I would report to work in the morning and clock in on the computer. A changing room was provided for putting on the company provided uniforms and boots. The boots were provided through a stipend of $125.00. I would pick up the days stops and go to the truck and perform the pre-trip inspection. I would then load the truck with any additional solvent needed and depart for the day.

When arriving at the stops I would lower the lift ramp, open the back of the truck, ride up and remove the items needed such as the solvent and cleaning rags. At each stop I would talk to the owner/manager of the shop and if no service was needed I would pack up and leave. 

If service was needed I would clean the inside and outside of the "sink" of the parts cleaner with the old solvent and when complete I would change the solvent and run the pump to ensure it was in good working order. I would then clean up any mess left behind, pack up all equipment, have the paperwork signed, and depart.

Upon completion of the days activities out of the shop I would return to the shop, remove the empty drums as well as any drums which contained old used solvent. I would look at the paperwork for the next day and reload any drums needed to accomplish the next days' work.

I learned a great deal about the oil collection business. Our management was professional and very good at getting new business. My co-workers were always helpful and had a positive attitude towards the job. The hardest part of the job was dealing with uncooperative customers. The most enjoyable part of the job was my fellow employees and the assistance we all provided to each other.

There was never a typical day! Lead administrators did all the above from administration to management. Given the fact I did so many things, I learned an immense valuable experience and knowledge of the environmental business. Our corporate management unfortunately led our company into a sale. My personal managers were great. Of course some days you want to run fast! But much like a dysfunctional family, we all came back together when needed. We all serviced our customers with the all we had. The only negative was balancing work load with family. The work load was overwhelming and consuming. But in a strange way, the work load gave you a sense of ownership, if you will; I would say this was sometimes the best part of the job. My position was mine to manage so a sense of accomplishment and ownership was there when a job was done well. 

Given the reorganization, I find myself having to look for other employment. I truly hate the fact out team has had to go in different directions. We were a force to be recon with here in our area.

You have steady work as long as there’s trucks available, because they are always breaking down

Everyone is segregated, people all have their little clicks.  No one wants to help anyone else.  It’s terrible.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I would always go to my route and it never failed, I would always breakdown.  There wasn’t a week that would go by that I wouldn’t breakdown.  Sometimes I would breakdown 3 to 4 times in a week.

A typical day consist of answering all phone calls and returning messages, including emails. Solve any customer service related issues, create and invoice any outstanding service orders. Coordinate next day jobs with drivers. Review all Accounts Payable invoices to ensure proper billing occurred. I currently work with approximately 10 other people in the office including 2 managers that oversee the facility and outside services. I enjoy working here because it is a 'laid back' atmosphere. No one is micro-managed and everyone does their job accordingly. Everyone assists when and where assistance is needed.

My typical day at work, I always handled the busy phone lines rather I was transferring calls in the office or dispatching and routing calls to drivers. I learned how to manage my time wisely and how to prioritize effectively, My Co-workers were exceptional loved seeing their face in the mornings, there wasn't a day I did not want to be at work, there really wasn't anything hard about doing my job it was just when it was a little slow it could get boring at times I love being kept busy. The atmosphere in the work setting was family oriented that's how it felt, lay back and just knowing if I needed any help with anything it was there.
