Clean Harbors Reviews

Pros

Great benefits. Good communication. Problems solved almost immediately every time

Cons

Never knew what to expect insite at a plant

Pros

Great local people, family culture, most part managers don’t micromanage, lots of OT and travel if wanted.

Cons

Company shows no structure for yearly increases. New people get hired on higher than tenured employees. Lack of resources makes your job more difficult than it needs. Headcount needs to grow for the amount of work being asked. Corporate initiatives lack forethought for different regions of the country. Upper management either ignore or don’t realize the time it takes to do the tasks required.

Pros

Benefits Stability Localized Management Training/ Job Related Licenses

Cons

Clean Harbors is split into two separate companies, there is the company that actually does the work and creates revenue. Then there is the company that provides oversite and scrutinizes the work of the first company. There are twice as many people employed in positions that will never create any revenue and will not interact with anyone in the labor force outside of a regional or branch manager. The second group drives the decision making and future planning for the business' model. This drives a disconnect with company policy verses the real world application and working environment. With the growing role of Electronic Logs, and its relation to Hours of Service; as well as the business opportunities and working environment in the Covid and Post-Covid world this has become a growing internal issue. Operations Mangers and Onsite Sales Professionals are responsible for all real world implementation of Health and Safety, Transportation Compliance and Business Development. If you are looking to work directly with field personnel in a role related to Health and Safety, Emergency Management, Trans Compliance or another auxiliary group apply for a position specifically mentioning OPERATIONS. If you are looking for an office position and or remote position apply for a position described in a more traditional manner to those titles. The company can also be very reluctant to accept internal applicants from other business lines into divergent lines, instead recruiting from external companies or just out right purchasing the company. They are however very supportive of direct vertical promotions with in the same line of buisness.

Pros

OT and steady work schedule.

Cons

Lack of Annual pay raises and employee recognition.

Pros

Cons

Not home alot or home too much.

Pros

Cons

No room for growth. Low pay.

Pros

When I started they were great and fair.

Cons

The higher you get within the company the quicker you figure out it’s a man’s world. Multiple colleges were terminated after calling the “anonymous” hotline voicing complaints through the years, clearly it’s not anonymous. I was never given a job title for the job I was doing.

Pros

Plenty of opportunities to work in different parts of the country and even the world. Each different assignment can be hit or miss. You could go from manual labor in a plant somewhere in hot and humid Louisiana to cold Utah cleaning barges out of train carts. Expect the unexpected! Benefits are great. Starting pay is ok! Weekly pay plus perdiem $35 per day. Definitely gonna travel around that's a plus. Mostly by plane If it's in another state or drive with the crew you'll be with in vans or rental car.

Cons

Management racist, having to work with egomaniacal hot heads that are full of themselves because of a title and a $2 pay difference, no one wants to teach you anything so basically you'd have to get your leg cut off in the field to learn something, having to share rooms with other grown men, communication can be terrible to between management and workers , not enough work. Sometimes you'll work a two or three week assignment then come back home having to wait weeks or even almost a month to be sent back out.

Pros

Solid experience to obtain. Good training program to get people up to date with compliance and regulations

Cons

Poor pay and lack of recognition or value to people with degrees

Pros

A place to go to work.

Cons

They will send you to another shop to help out on your own vehicle anywhere under 75miles they don’t help.
