Liquid Environmental Solutions

Working at Liquid Environmental Solutions of westchester Ohio has been a frustrating experience, especially considering how established the company is supposed to be. If you didn’t know any better, you’d think this place had only been operating for a year. The lack of organization, communication, and consistency from management makes it feel like everything is being figured out on the fly instead of being backed by years of experience.
One of the biggest issues is how poorly things are managed on a day to day basis. There’s little structure, and employees are often left in the dark about expectations, changes, or even basic job requirements. Instead of clear leadership, it feels like decisions are made randomly or based on favoritism rather than what makes sense for the operation. That kind of environment makes it hard to stay motivated or take pride in your work.
Another major concern is the way the company cuts corners to save money. This shows up in areas that should never be compromised like equipment, tools, and basic job supplies. Whether it’s not having the proper gloves  outdated or poorly maintained equipment, or not providing the tools needed to do the job efficiently, it creates unnecessary stress and slows everything down. It also raises serious safety concerns. When you’re doing hands-on, physically demanding work having the right gear isn’t optional it’s essential.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The money, because you literally give up your life to work six days a week.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
This company used to be a decent place to work until management and upper level staff started leaving suddenly for reasons that weren’t clear at the time. Eventually, it became obvious: LES turned greedy. They began setting unrealistic expectations, pushing the very people who actually generate revenue to the brink with grueling 6–14 hour shifts and absolutely no work life balance.

There’s zero communication from leadership just constant pressure to produce. Challenge their authority, even slightly, and you risk being fired and replaced by someone off the street at a lower wage, just to save money. LES is focused entirely on keeping investors happy, prioritizing quantity over quality at every turn.

Be warned: expect to work from 2:30 AM until 5 or 6 PM, Monday through Saturday. RUN.

Let me know if you'd like a more toned down version or one tailored for something like a job review site.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Horrible at the time. If you get hurt forget about it you would be treated bad.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It all varies only thing that comes to mind is grind grind grind.

Toxic Culture and Poor Leadership

This company suffers from deeply flawed management, from the VP of Operations down to local branch leadership. There is a clear lack of accountability and concern for employee well-being. Equipment is consistently in poor condition, often in DOT violation, with repairs taking unreasonably long—often leaving drivers without a working truck, resulting in lost hours or forced slip seating.

Management routinely deflects blame onto drivers, even when issues stem from their own decisions. There is little to no support; it's a "sink or swim" environment with rampant gossip, backstabbing, and zero team cohesion. Though leadership talks about safety and teamwork, these values are absent from the actual culture. Words are not matched with actions, and the result is an environment where morale, trust, and professionalism are in constant decline.

Customers should always ask to visually inspect traps after service to verify proper removal of all contents actually occurred, and that power washing was completed, as it is not uncommon for technicians to not fully complete service with expected quality as per contract.

Overworked, too much gossip between drivers and management. Management does not care about the drivers. The fleet is a joke. DOT regulations means absolutely nothing to this company. Trucks are utter garbage and you may be sent home bc there are no trucks available to drive. Unless you are on the favorites employee list you get treated like garbage. DOT laws are nonexistent until it comes to the company getting in trouble, but if it pertains to you getting in trouble they don’t care at all. The management changes rules whenever they see fit to aid the narrative of the company. No communication, and no one cares about anything when you have issues. Company wants to bleed everything avaliable dry  before spending any money on anything. Always out of supplies necessary for techs to proceed with daily job functions. Nothing ever done for employees. 

If you’re not an executive, you’re a nobody; unless you happen to be a rare “favorite.” The company executives only care about how much money the company is making and don’t care what has to be done (including overworking the field employees) to accomplish their revenue goals. Management is non-supportive and doesn’t care about the concerns or issues of the employees. Terrible work environments. This place is an OSHA nightmare. HR department is a joke and none of them like their jobs; useless for anything outside of gossip. Proper training for all employees is non-existent. One mistake and you’re out. They lie and tell you they’re going to hire someone new for your department to assist you and the whole time it’s actually your replacement. Turnover rate is very high; Everyone is always looking for a new job. I’m willing to bet the average tenure is less than 10yrs for more than half of the company. If you’re a recent college grad, just need some (very little) income and/or want to learn ALL the ways of how NOT to run a company then this is an option, although I’m sure you could do better; otherwise do yourself and your sanity a favor and forget this place exists.

Liquid was/is a great company to work. As with most companies once the growth path shifts upwards workplace morale becomes more difficult to maintain. Branch & assistant Managers offered GREAT support but due to the magnitude of responsibilities from the corporate level, Employee concerns often went unanswered or forgotten. (No fault) 

Majority of the employees were nice but I found it best to keep to yourself in an effort to avoid drama and altercations due to elevated egos & personalities. Lack of professionalism & driver courtesy was a daily problem. 

All in all I think that liquid environmental solutions is a great place to work if you value overtime & consistent work. If you value a life outside of work or at minimum a work/life balance I suggest you continue on in your job/career search. 

Every job/career is going to have a few squeaky bolts that need to be tightened. Show up with a positive attitude, Be a team player & exemplify the same respect to others that you expect from them and half the battle is already won. Happy Job hunting!

They over work you.. no appreciation. Have you violate city codes, and if you say anything, they write you up. They pick and choose who gets written up. Tear up write ups for a special few. If you say you don’t want to send something dirty but do it anyways. They say your insubordinate because you have an opinion, not because you didn’t do it. But there are two sets of standards you must follow, company and city. But forced to go against proper standard operating procedures and codes. But is about making and saving a buck. You work hard, but they don’t care. If you get injuried, or need a break, it’s a no go. No team work. But if you try to teamwork, people don’t want to work and attack. Many workers get away with not working or making excuses of why they can’t, and over work the people who take pride in their job and work. Safety nightmare. Toxic work environment.. run away. 

Back stabbing and lying and no support from management or hr.

If it was up to me, a zero star would work.

I would be called in a few days ahead of time to do data entry when there was an overwhelming amount, typically toward the end of the month. My coworkers were very affable, the software that I was using to do my work was notorious within the office so there was some sense of appreciation from them that the work was being done. I used a build of software that was still in the process of being customized to the company so there were still some processes that didn't work right, and a few outright bugs(in fact, in my first round of work with them I was able to catch a bug in the system that switched the manifest numbers of invoiced tasks which affected the final invoice involving those tasks). I gained some crucial experience with corporate software, working directly with Citrix and GP, and indirectly with a SQL database(the structure of which I had been unfamiliar with).

Mass management defection to a competitor company resulted in the hiring of new  Houston Plant management. The new Plant Supervisor runs around the plant all day long complaining and swearing about the company and ruining employee morale.This must be his first management job because he treats the plant operators like second class citizens with constant criticism and zero positive contact whatsoever.He talks about firing co-workers frequently.A harassment suit is surely in this companies future compliments of him.The DM and his Superior seem like the decent type.The place runs like a ship lost at sea in the dark and fog.Understaffed with high turnover and incompetence.Deplorable conditions.Nasty hateful environment.If they fired the current Plant Supervisor both morale and production would be boosted a whole bunch.

I’ve been with company for 6 years and am the senior driver meaning I have been there longer than anyone of the drivers! I work remotely from the Hayward office.  You would think that because of my seniority that my pay would be equal to those who actually work out of the Hayward office who have been there for less than a year and are coming into the job making 4 dollars more an hour than me!  In the beginning there was a 2 dollar an hour difference in pay for remote employees but over the years the pay gap has widened. No explanation with this even though remote employees are expected to run the basically the same routes in and out of the Bay Area!
