Valicor Environmental Services

What is the best part of working at the company?
The organization is relatively flat (i.e. you have access to leadership, if you seek it); the mission is credible (it's an environmental services company); the pay is competitive; and if you want a career path - this is a company where you can create one.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Every day is a little different (some people don't like change) and much of the labor aspects of the work, can be out in the elements.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The company has decentralized leadership and decision making, so each region can vary a bit. The regional culture tends to follow this style of organization. The company values safety / environmental compliance and service to their customers - the work environment and culture generally reflect these values.

I have worked for Valicor for over 2 years now. I love the company. I came into the industry knowing very little and have since been thriving. My coworkers are my teammates and I plan on being with the company for as long as they’ll have me. For my specific position, I am able to make my own schedule, travel, am not micromanaged, have bonus & raise opportunities, and great benefits. I can say for all of the facilities that I have visited thus far, the company moral and team spirits remain relatively the same. You’ll find that many of our employees have been with the company for years with no plans of leaving any time soon. Valicor is a great company to work for if you are a team player, hard worker and dedicated employee!

At the time I worked for Valicor it was exciting and an actual enjoyable job. Decent pay with oppertunities to advance financially. it came with good benefits and actual on the job training for other departments. Yet, some of the management were very poor in attitude and behavior. The key players/Bosses were cool by the book well behaved and professional men. Needlees to name names, Valicor would had been the perferect job to establish long term goals had it not been for some dicrimenating childish leaders. the company as a whole gets my recommendation for employment.

Promised 50 to 55 hours then hours were cut to be given to drivers willing to work all weekends. Life quality is important to me and working occasional weekends was fine. To work every weekend was not acceptable. The manager was into drama and talking to other drivers that promoted hostility in the workplace. It was a great job until this came into a daily issue. The employee that worked all the weekends walked out without notice. I gave a 2 week and 2 day notice and my pay last personal time off day was taken away because I left 1 day early from the notice. That scheduled run for that last day would have been about 4 or 5 hours. 
Just the facts, you decide.

The jobs in technical roles require constant screening and compliance work on short notice because waste/re-use material is moved so fast through facilities.  If sales group and GM are more friendly then GM is with technical side of plant then the compliance, screening, analytical, permitting work becomes extremely tedious and short notice sampling.


Bright side the experience, knowledge and freedom is great, but be prepared for the thrown to the wolves feeling.  They train you fast and then you are out on your own and taking care of tasks required per role.

Valicor is a great place to work if you're comfortable with a fast-paced environment at a place that is growing rapidly.  I work with wonderful people who are really respectful and appreciative of my skills.  I enjoy coming to work each day.  So many people who work here are long-time employees and I think that says a lot!  I'm newer, but with the changes that have taken place as the company has grown, I can understand why they would stay.  Good benefits, super 401K program.  A nice environment except for the plant smell that is sometimes stinky.

Good job for starting out pulling a tank. Was not paid wage that was discussed at interview. Long hours, but was paid OT. When I was hired I was told of a pension plan and stock options but they were removed by new management a week after I started. Not necessarily a bad company but I felt misled and I know there are many better opportunities out there paying a more accurate rate compared to difficulty of job.

I was treated like a number from day one after the acquisition by the current private equity firm.  I was one of many that left the company as the sleazey corporate smoke filled the room and compensation became shady.  Endless zoom meetings with leadership in front of palm trees or in their highrise Chicago apartments while families are hit with devastating compensation changes and fake "culture building" nothingness.... in an effort to resell the company for profit.  Classless leadership from the top down.

Poor communication. Extremely heavy work loads. Long hours. Poor management. Poor raises. Don't expect to have a life if you work here. They will work you to death. No time for family, no time for anything else besides work. Constantly bothered about work by management while off the clock. It follows you everywhere. Zero professionalism. They'll promise you whatever you want hear to get you to agree with working or moving positions. Dont ever expect an "Atta Boy" because nothing is ever good enough, it's always more more more.
