Route Manager at Waste Management
No Offer – Interviewed in Mar 2012 – Reviewed Apr 5, 2012
Interview Details – This has to be the worst experience ever. I was originally contacted in October and had the following: 1 phone interview, HR interview, District Manager interview, Director of Operations Interview, and then another Route Manager interview all over the course of 6 months for 1 position! After all that you think I would be given courtesy on whether or not I got the job, but I was suppose to hear back 2 weeks ago and nothing yet so Im assuming a no go.. I will never apply nor recommend them to anyone.

Manager at Waste Management
No Offer – Interviewed in Houston, TX Jul 2010 – Reviewed Feb 6, 2013
Interview Details – I was brought in for a face to face interview in Houston for a manager position. As soon as one of the VPs saw me he looked shocked and said you look different on Linkedin. After that it was down hill. Each of the interviewers were less than friendly and one interviewer took a call from his wife that lasted about 20 minutes.

Sales at Waste Management
No Offer – Interviewed in Denver, CO Jun 2010 – Reviewed Sep 26, 2010
Interview Details – Phone interview and then face to face interview. Company did not say industry experience required, but moved forward with someone that had "relevant experience." Company kept sending emails saying position had been filled, even after I was verbally told that I did not get the position. Job itself sounded good with good salary. People were friendly.
