The company has great leaders and high value is placed on employees
Client Care Executive (Current Employee), New Orleans – April 30, 2013
Pros: work environment
Cons: pay
As a multinational company, Shred-it has a broad footprint in the document destruction industry. Leadership at Shred-it does a great job keeping us ahead of the competition.

On a typical day, I complete my client calls and resolve any new or outstanding issues. Part of my job is contract and price negotiation. Since service is a vital part of our business, – more... I have a very close relationship with the dedicated employees in the operations department. – less

Great place to work
Customer Administrative Services Associate III (Former Employee), Houston, TX – April 19, 2013
Pros: employee benefits, friendships/co-workers
Cons: billing issues
I looked forward to going to work everyday. My team were all great people to work with. I particularly liked the fact how everyone relied on my ability to get things done in a timely manner. I felt needed and wanted all the time. This I would say was the most enjoyable part of my job.

I had the opportuntiy to learn the new SAP system over a year ago – more... and became really good at getting around and making it work for my job functions. – less

Terrible company to work for
Outside Sales (Former Employee), Michigab – April 12, 2013
Pros: none at all
Cons: management, company overall
Their turnover percentage says it all. Tried them for two months during a layoff. Fortunately my employer called me back. I was going to just walk away.

Overpriced Service. Local Competitors do a better job for half the fee

Little concern for client's needs when conflicts with saving money for the co. took 2 wks to get a new client set up
Driver/Shred Tech (Former Employee), NJ – March 15, 2013
Cons: clueless mgt., site mgt. brow beaten by corp., clueless service
Corp. (Canada) really has no clue about service. They would pull us of the road in the middle of a route because they might have to pay OT. The clients were called, lied to, and R/S'd. Trucks are ancient but working. Office personnel are zombies through no fault of their own. Steer clear. Plenty of jobs that pay more and treat you right.

Good folks work here
CSM (Former Employee), Birmingham, AL – August 23, 2012
Pros: staff, pay at the management level
Cons: expectations of job keep growing, new sap system is not all it's cracked up to be, csrs need to be paid on day rates, not by the hour. trucks need to be retired earlier than what they are currently.
It was just time for me to move on. Had a good time while it lasted. Would go back tp work there if the company would get out of the "district" concept....it's not working and is just a cost-saving measure and puts a burden on everyone.

Great place to work
Sales & Office Coordinator (Former Employee), Bessemer, AL – May 3, 2012
Pros: any tipical day.
Cons: end of month
The day was never boring, full of laughter and very understanding management staff. I learned a lot about coworker relationships and when to do the right things and what to just let go of. I gained experience and transferable skills that aided me in becoming the best that I could be.
