              Pros

              I've been employed at Stericycle as a Sr Recruiter for two years. I enjoy my job and believe in what we do as an organization truly protects what matters. They value their employees and want us to grow within the company. They offer Tuition Reimbursement and I was able to take advantage of the program. They paid for my study material and exam cost to take the SHRM CP exam, which I passed :) The knowledge I gained and the credentials will make me a stronger in the Talent Acquisition field at Stericycle! Thank you again Stericycle!

              Cons

              I have 10+ years in the Talent Acquisition field and leaned you get out of the job what you put into it. There are cons in every company however you can overcome them by working hard and versatile to show your value.

                  Business Outlook

                  Pros

                  Stericycle is a strong brand in the medical waste industry. There is a lot of pride in what we do with the impact on the environment and thought leadership in Environmental, Social, and Governance. At Stericycle, team members can see the difference they make on a daily basis. There is a strong DEI initiative with 7 employee resources groups. These groups allow participants to strategize and drive positive change and come together as like minded individuals to increase belonging and safety. At Stericycle there's an ability to grow a career. Team members are given a chance to demonstrate skills and try new ones based on previous behavior. There's a lot of emphasis on learning. There are many, many drivers and plant workers who have moved into supervisor and manager roles.

                  Cons

                  Stericycle is a very fast paced environment due to the nature of the environmental regulations required around medical waste. Success depends on the ability to dive in and work hard. Stericycle continues to grow and strengthen the brand and it's all about the positivity and customer service our team members deliver. The right candidates should have a passion for others, a strong initiative and exceptional core values.

                      Business Outlook

                      Pros

                      Used to be work from home but now hybrid but they don’t trip too hard about coming in if you can’t make it Full benefits Provides home equipment Pet insurance discount Management & co workers are pretty chill No cold calling You get lots of chances to improve before you are put on any performance plan but they also don’t really fire people they give you the option to go to other departments It’s very easy to move up if you are performing well or to move around the company to another department if you feel inside sales isn’t a fit

                      Cons

                      No team outings or bonding No raise Unrealistic expectations sometimes Training is more catered towards outbound sales instead of inbound Unable to prospect for customers or cold call you mostly have to wait for calls to come to you or follow up with customers bc there is an outbound team so if the call volume is low it can be kinda hard to meet the sales goal at times but it also is nice not having to cold call & letting all the calls come to you Sometimes a lot of pressure is put on by management to achiever certain goals but they aren’t doing what is needed to be done for the workers to be successful so that the goal can be easier to achieve Customer service sucks & that’s who you work with majority of the time It’s overall just boring, nothing exciting about the job at all I’ve been here for almost 2 years & haven’t even made friends really because we don’t do anything as a staff really or have any real fun interactions everyone is kinda to themselves which some may find enjoyable but I’m a people person which is why I got into sales so sometimes it feels a little boring

                        Pros

                        The company had good medical and dental benefits. What I enjoyed most was being able to work from home. Most of my teammates were very helpful. Lots of resources were available to assist with customer requests.

                        Cons

                        Lots of disgruntled customers due to services not being performed when scheduled, not to mention due to system changes their accounts weren't accurate or sometimes duplicated in the system. The pay was not commiserated with the level of aggravation dealt with daily.

                      Hello guys, I applied as Chemical engineer in a big company and I did with them all the interview steps (last one on 05/09/23), at the time of the interview there was no job opening and I got the interview through another division. Last week I received an email saying that they will let me know their final decision by the end of this week. Today I have received an email (with the job description attached) scheduling a call in few days for sharing the decision. Do they want to reject me on call?
