CLEAN HARBORS Employer Reviews

Got the job worked for 3 months until they laid me off because the workers were unionizing . So they laid half of the entire plant off and posted our jobs on the web site the very next day.

Cleaned out hazardous tanks and piping. Some travel involved, There was also alot of standing when there is no work.

forklift driver,backhoe driver,moveing 50 drms off trailers and stocking in warehouse. i learn alot about hazourdous waste and its disposal because of the products management lets us b safe and take our time.co-workers verey easy to get along with.hardest part is no overtime.the most enjoyable is the mornings

Clean Harbors is a good company with great benefits, but due to the Maine economy work hours are hard to come by. You must be prepared to sit at home for weeks at a time, and also on the flipside be ready to go out of town for weeks at a time also. The work is extreme and if you have a problem with getting dirty then you will not last. I am attempting – more... to start a famly and need more managable hours in order to do so. I enjoyed working hard and the commradery with fellow co workers. The job scope is so left to right that I cannot begin to explain a "typical" day. – less

If you work in the field probably you will be a slave, more than 8 hours of work. But you will grasp a bunch of knowledge of RCRA and DOT.

Enjoy working in teams and taking on individual tasks. Required to feed the units with material. Also maintain all equipment and ensure it is running properly.

What I like most about my job was learning how to use on different product to complete job task. Management was nice to work with but need to be more proactive on legal issues for workers.

Co-work where nice ans willing to help out when they could.

Not having time to train employees the right way to doing things.

Not being understood when trying – more... to introduce new concept

I like traveling to different places to do a job and seeing new parfs of the country – less

I love my job and majority of coworkers, however management is unbearable to deal with. We just went union if that tells you anything, we are now waiting for the contract negotiations to finalize.

i did enjoy working,
equipment was wore out
the plant i worked at was in transition, and work went slowly, and nerve racking

You where so much P.P.E. you sweat to death. Worst company i ever worked for.You cant work fast enouph for them. If you go their you will be sorry. worked their for only 7 months.when i gave them my 2 week notice they let me go that day.

Parts of all the reviews are correct, there are long hours but you are compensated for them. There are layoffs at times but this occurs at any company, if you are doing your job, you have very little to worry about. Good advancement and pay, Diverse open door policy.

Clean Harbors was a fun place to work at long hours exciting projects. A Great learning experience

This is not a god company. The starting pay is garbage and the managment is 2nd rate. All the GM cares about is his bonuses for safety, even if it means he has to brush some things under the rug. There is no job advancemnt. there isnt much difference between the new guy and the senior lead lab pack chemists.

It was fun to work with the field group and the workers had good workers

Clean Harbors is the leading provider of environmental, energy and industrial services throughout North America. The Company serves over 60,000 customers, including a majority of the Fortune 500 companies, thousands of smaller private entities and numerous federal, state, provincial and local governmental agencies.

Loved my job with Clean Harbors, However the management system was very poor. Made great money, the benefits were great and inexpensive, had much opportunity with the company. Local office management kept the advancement opportunities to those who they were friends with and not to the ones who earned and deserved it.

Despite making record profits, there are still layoffs here. My department was downsized while I was out due to a job related injury and I was laid off. I really enjoyed working here but I was overworked, which lead to the injury. Being part of the few departments "required" to work six day weeks can do that to the human body. We weren't really given – more... the credit for what we did to help make the record profits and half of my department tried to find other (safer) positions in the company or left within a few months. – less
