Interviewed Feb 2012 in Tucson, AZ (took 2 weeks)
Called for phone interview with local Sales Manager. Phone interview was 15-20 minutes, basic questions. Called a few days later for a face-to-face interview. Once I arrived to the interview, I was told interview would consist of two panel interviews. The first interview was with Sales Manager, HR Manager, and Area Manager. Questions were very basic as the interviewers all made their respective notes.
The second panel interview was with the local General Manager, and Area VP. I was thinking ….all this for a sales position? The interview was very disorganized with no structure. The GM & VP would look at each other, not knowing what questions to ask.
Two weeks later, they reposted their ad for a Sales Representative. I received an email from HR Mgr saying, “ we will are interviewing additional candidates" All this for commercial waste removal? No clear details were ever mentioned with regards to compensation, almost like they didn’t want to tell me.

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took 3 days)
Called for a brief phone interview in the evening as the person was still working and the only time found available to review applications. Went in to office for formal interview a couple of days later, everyone seemed very nice.....but.....the office was unusually quiet for an office environment. The only noise heard was from employees talking on the phone to clients.....there did not seem to be an inter-office communication. That could be a good or bad thing depending on your outlook. Enjoyed interview was told I would hear something the following week and never did.....I guess it was not for me.... I would have appreciated a follow up of some type....even the standard "Thanks but no thanks letter" would have been better than nothing at all.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Pontiac, MI (took a day)
I received a phone call from the human resource manager. He discussed different internship programs in the company and what would be my best options. I then called back to try and set up a day to come and interview. I sat with the Area Human Resource Manager, Area Controller, and Area President. They talked a lot about the company itself and what I would want from and internship experience.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Santa Fe Springs, CA (took 3 weeks)
The initial call was from a lady in their HR. She did not know very much about the position except that it was for a Major Account Sales Rep selling new business. After the initial interview, I met with their Sales Manager who was very sharp. This gentlemen had a very outgoing personality and described, in detail, how i would be trained for the role. He mainly spoke about himself and I just listened. He indicated that an offer would be forthcoming and it would be based upon a physical (drug test). I declined the offer because, at the time, the company had just gone through a merger and there were alot of uncertainties. I'm sure by now the dust has settled.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
I declined the offer due to a recent merger with another waste hauling company. There was too much uncertainty.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Jan 2009 (took 4 weeks)
Interview with people out INDY. Typical interview process- fairly easy compared to the other great companies I've worked for. Always ask to do a ride-a-long, and if they tell you "no" and refer you to people to direct your questions to, proceed with caution. THAT I KNOW, from experience. A lot of the management in the smaller areas, especially Illinois into Indiana are lacking in skills. Poor leadership and lack of respect for employees all contribute to poor working atmosphere. Ask around, you'll find many people are "stuck" at this job b/c of their lack of personality, education and so forth. It's too bad.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Their pay is average- commission based, be pre-pared to fight many battles b/c the prices just go up uP UP and away on customers. Many customers become aware of this day-by-day, especially when competitors start conquering the area.
Other Details
I applied In-Person and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Atlanta, GA (took a day)
Submitted resume and cover letter as requested by an agency. Within 2 days, I received phone call to come in and interview. Skipping the phone interview or screening raised a flag. Following through on the offer to interview, I learned that the company was in restructuring mode initiated by a merger with another waste management company. Roles were redefined as also were salaries. The position that I interviewed for was to replace an long time employee who was not subcoming to the rebanding of the salary post merger. Not necessarily a good position to walk into.
