Stericycle Reviews

Pros

Good pay, chances for advancement, awesome benefits. This company is constantly changing things based on employee feedback to improve culture, work circumstances, and benefits. I've never worked somewhere that tried so hard to keep their employees happy.

Advice to Management

Allow management to communicate better by giving them all of the facts, and refrain from changing the plan or guidelines mid-implementation. Make sure all HR reps, directors, and managers receive/relay the same information.

More support to remote locations in terms of culture and recognition tools.

Pros

Through many acquisitions, there are 100's of opportunities to grow; excellent total reward plans.

Advice to Management

Continue to seek ideas and input from employees outside of Lake Forest.

Pros

I genuinely like working here a lot! The management is down to earth, polite, and is there to serve the company. There exists almost limitless opportunities to join in on new projects and initiatives. It is very easy to make continuous improvements--the vast majority of the time, we're encouraged to work smarter, not harder with almost no red tape.

Advice to Management

Please, PLEASE do the company a favor a release or reassign all of the long time employees/leaders that have gotten us into the messes we're in and hire people that are knowledgeable in their fields. Being good one one job DOESN'T automatically qualify you to change roles and do something you have no experience doing. That is exactly how we got to this place in time. For instance: good at IT, put them in charge of HR! To be clear, this is BAD. We employees deserve well-seasoned leaders, not leaders that are in their positions for developmental opportunities. It's embarrassing and hard to explain to outsiders.

Pros

The training is paid, The salary and commission scale are good. The co workers are upbeat and fun, the job is really not hard

Pros

Awesome Benefits, many caring employees, great clients. Helping people every day.

Advice to Management

Stop Micromanaging and stop changing what works well. ALL the changes that have been made by upper management decisions thus far have caused incredible loss of revenue, customer dissatisfaction and employee retention. This has escalated to the point where the company has had to change their product lines multiple times due to lack of knowledge and resources to complete the prior work. They'll start oin something and not finish it! Laying off highly productive people is never a step in the right direction when you continue to have people in positions that do such a terrible job, that customers threaten to leave and the company just moves their service to another location to handle. Take care of the root cause of 95% of customer complaints - the proper hiring and training of agents taking their calls.
