Sharps Medical Waste Services

When I was hired I knew what I was signing up for and the pay/benefits were great so no complaints there. After about a year with the company we expanded greatly (before the name change) which is always good from a business perspective, but our routes were more than double what we were already struggling with prior and they added paper shred services to the routes. They refused to hire another driver. The job itself is easy, but there are a lot more overnights than you will be told, not enough time to finish routes within DOT guidelines and poor communication. My immediate supervisor was great and helpful, but unfortunately for him upper management put a lot on his plate which caused him great stress which meant more stress for us drivers. With my health problems and lack of time at home with my family I put in my 2 week notice. I received a call the next morning and was told that “my resignation was accepted effective immediately”. I was there for a year, never complained once and always went the extra mile when I could (often times literally). If you don’t mind long days, overnights and lots of overtime I say go for it, but be aware of miscommunication and being burnt out quickly.

Executives regularly blame employees for their own mistakes and will terminate staff without cause. There’s no work–life balance, PTO is discouraged or denied, while certain "leaders" (Miss. PTO) take extended time off without issue. 

The executive team is misaligned, constantly fighting, and they don't know what they are doing. They also want you to work in the office while some of them "work" from home, they don't lead by example. The so-called ethics line is a joke, you can’t trust the process or feel safe reporting issues. 

Overall, it’s a toxic, unstable, and unfair place to work.

I never worked with a worse group of angry incompetent people.  The worst part of the job is the people at SHARPS. There is no collaboration or team building or willingness to work together.  Its dog eat dog and you best bend the knee to management. 
You will enjoy the customers you work with, but not your fellow employees. 

If you’re looking for a job that is mindless and you don’t care to work extremely hard for money that barely covers your monthly bills then this is the job for you. The company cares more about corporate bonuses than its employees. They report record high profits and gives its managers and executives great bonuses while the employees see nothing. The more work you do the more they fill their pockets. The chances of being stuck with dirty needles is about 98% 

We were overworked and underpaid, they would send one man out to do a job made for 3 or more people.I would have to service the entire Childrens hospital alone with no help and if I ran into a problem and needed to call the supervisor I would be doing a 3 man job while the supervisor and his friend would be home or at the bar and leave all the work on me.

I love to drive but this was not that type of job, yes you went to different places and was always on the road .  But they do not offer raise nor do they appreciate the work you do for them, company wise.. you make peanuts and they make the money.. look elsewhere 

Terrible place to work in and even breathe around. It's surprising that OSHA has never shut them down for what comes out of all that medical waste they burn. DISGUSTING. And the management is just as bad there too.

Absolutely no room for advancement. Management is horrible and operate on a buddy system. Only drivers are held accountable, even for situations not of their own making. High turnover rate causes mountains of work for drivers. You get zero training and are fired for little to nothing.

Cheap management they made 14 million last year none of thier salary employees received a raise. Things inside the warehouse are always broken (incinerator bucket )or the actual incinerator it's self things never found or non existent such as brooms and dust pans

crossload medical waste from local fleet to transport fleet in accordance with all regulations. Every day was a team effort. The hardest part of the job was keeping the paperwork organized with the waste.
