Pros

Working in the Environmental Services division for nearly 20 years I always had a sense of being apart of something big and contributing to society.

Cons

Around 2013 there was a visible shift. Enter the good old boys club. Being a female in middle management it became obvious that diversity was lip service. Upper management entirely comprised of white men. An after taste of agenda started to become apparent in the newly promoted upper management. By 2016 the HR team had evolved into bullies. They created distrust between employees and employers, the are viewed as political players as they add no value to the bottom line. Management often gives everyone the same rewards, regardless of contribution or experience. Telling top performers that it wouldn’t be fair to others will do little to inspire additional commitment. Productivity is also hurt by poor information technology, employees have to navigate different systems and locations to find what they need.

Pros

Good exposure to a large, complex organization with cross-functional collaboration. Opportunities to take on responsibility and learn quickly if you are proactive. Some strong internal frameworks and experienced individuals to learn from. Visibility across different teams and business units.

Cons

Lack of standardized processes creates unnecessary inefficiencies and rework. Too much reliance on individual knowledge instead of scalable systems. Cross-team communication is often reactive rather than coordinated, which slows execution. Roles and ownership are frequently unclear, leading to misalignment and finger-pointing. Tools exist but are not fully implemented or consistently used, resulting in avoidable manual work.
