Overall a good place to work.
Project Manager (Former Employee) – Port Coquitlam. BC – 16 August 2018
Overall I enjoyed my time at stericycle. I always had room to improve and be promoted. Like every company they have their issues. If I had not moved I would still be working there.

Costumer Service Representative (Former Employee) – Winnipeg, MB – 29 September 2018
This company is a joke! they hire people but are out of the budget, how that's it works? Management is awful!, I was hired and I didn't receive any payment after 1 month and a half! and no one knew it the reason why I haven't been paid!
The supervisors are fairly good, however, one of them, he thinks he is working in a National Security office or C.I.A. or F.B.I. treating the people as slaves and making comments about accents, pronunciation and so on. I don't really recommend this company is so messy, in 11 months of full-time job the pest control went there 3 times because of the bed bugs!
The headsets are shared and 99% of them are broken! the company has no interest to get new ones! Managers are also not good enough, a few of them cut hours for no reason and going on vacation or holidays every 3 or 4 months, but if you ask for vacations, they fired you.
No way to go to the washroom, all of them are so dirty, and every second it will be discounted from your payments!
No HR office in Winnipeg location, which makes more difficult the contact for certificates or any other inquiry. salary is kinda good, benefits are fair, and all the people from the 4th floors they think they are gods or goddess! I HIGHLY NO RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY!

worst company to work for
Inside Sales Representative (Former Employee) – Brampton, ON – 17 August 2018
the one good thing about the company is the benefits. the office in brampton sucks. the overtime is always available. everyone from the management right down is disjointed. would not even tell my enemy to work for this company. playing favorites is how they work in that office
Pros
benefits
Cons
everything ekse
Great group of people to work with

Good Place
Sales-Account Manager (Former Employee) – Brampton, ON – 5 April 2018
I was only there for a year I find they lack in training and in communication of changes that are happening or have already happened. Policy and procedures are not applicable
Pros
good benifits
Cons
lack in proper traing
Not worth the time
Senior Customer Experience Agent (Current Employee) – Saint John, NB – 28 November 2017
Stericycle in Saint John for Directors choice is not a place I would apply too.
The management play favorites.
Employees aren’t selected for promotion by skills, it’s based on where the centre manager likes you or not.
There are also random posted promotions to staff but with no original posting.
The pay is low at $11 starting per hour for the type of work you do. The raise is a just .33cents on average per year.
You are handling very stressful personal situations so the pay and support is not equal for the job.
Corporate does not seem to care so that means we are stranded.

Exceptional work environment providing challenging and rewarding work
Sr. Human Resources Manager (Bilingual) (Former Employee) – Brampton, ON – 10 September 2017
Stericycle is a great place to work and provides a great work environment for its Team Members. It is growing fast, has challenging work and the managers are always there to support you. I've had the pleasure of working at Stericycle for 10 + years and have watched my career grow along a steady trajectory.
Pros
Challenging work and the people you work with!
Cons
None
Would not recommend this place to anyone
Warehouse Worker/Forklift Operator (Former Employee) – Calgary, AB – 18 August 2017
Operations manager is never there. There is no support for the warehouse supervisor allowing all warehouse staff to do what they want. Employees don't show up most days or call in sick all the time. There is no recognition for going above and beyond in this company even though they expect overtime hours to be put in. Management can not make up their minds about where waste is to go causing warehouse staff to make up multiple sets of paperwork for one load. Complete mismanagement on their part!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pros
Overtime is there
Cons
Everything above and more
Social commitee is the only plus to working here.
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) – Winnipeg, MB – 21 June 2017
At a glance, this place seems like a great place to work. Do not let that fool you. I have never been employed by a place when supervisors will actually call down an employee while on an production floor, tell an employee that they do not like the sound of their voice, call a young lady trashy and the list goes on. This company used to be known as Fineline. I think Stericycle should really take a long hard look at their donor centre as soon enough they'll find themselves in the thick of a human rights claim
Pros
Social commitee
Cons
Management
Productive and Fun working place.
SAP HRIS Analyst (Current Employee) – Oakville, ON – 1 May 2017
Excellent working culture as excellent organization. Equality and high skill development organization.
Learned great things with developed organization with continue learning approach.

Vancouver branch is in my opinion, incredibly mis-managed. The culture is toxic and hostile.
Navigator / Reclamation (Current Employee) – Surrey, BC – 2 October 2016
The list of issues I encountered during my tenure is expansive and tedious. To go through it would resemble a complaining teenager after the first few jaw-dropping unethical / immoral / and sometimes illegal practices that are warranted here. Instead, the list of things that are a positive influence during one's stay here is much quicker to go through. There aren't any.
Fun fast paced workspace
Customer Sales Representative (Former Employee) – Dartmouth, NS – 29 September 2016
It was a High paced fun work environment were there was constant challenges to be met that kept you busy and the co-workers were fantastic. There was always something different to do so your day wasn't the exact same over and over again.
Manager: not good
Outbound Sales (Former Employee) – Dartmouth, NS – 2 August 2016
The manager was very discriminating person. Not welcomed diversity person, if you look different manager and some co-workers make fun of you and gossiping behind your back. After I worked hard for my first day, while I was looking forward going going back, they send me message telling me not to comeback it didn't workout for you. They are soo bad company to work with.
Pros
Some coworkers are good
Cons
Manager is discriminator and make fun of diversity person even though he is different
Team Building Events
Front Desk Receptionist (Former Employee) – Brampton, ON – 21 July 2016
I would be at work for 8am start by opening up the front office, make coffee, open up my computer and make sure the front office always looked clean and ready for clients.
I answered the phone, responded to emails and did all the in coming and out going mail.
I greeted the clients with the up most professional matter and I was very much liked.

Great place to work
Forklift operator (Former Employee) – Calgary, AB – 13 June 2016
A typical day at work , in the morning load and unload trucks , organize warehouse , work as a team to make work more efficient .
I learned that working with bio medical waste is good job , and gives you awareness on how much disease is out in the world .
The management was excellent , any question that I had about the company , or warehouse duties were answered in full , and ion detail.
My co-workers were also great as everyone worked as a team , which made the every ones job more enjoyable .
The hardest part of the job was dealing with bio medical spills , and accident in the warehouse , and acting accordingly , which was also a learning process
The most enjoyable part of the job was learning about , bio medical waste , were it goes for disposal , and the process of disposal.

productive and fun work place with ping pong table
Sr. Support Specialist (Former Employee) – Etobicoke, ON – 4 May 2016
I love the work and my employees. Too many people taking on management roles. Team Lead, Supervisor, Manager, Director and so on that all had no idea what the other was doing.
Pros
great people to work with
Cons
too many people wearing the 'boss' hat
Horrible environment
Manager (Former Employee) – Brampton, ON – 26 October 2015
Compensation is adequate and work/life balance is good but company is poorly run with a culture of blaming, finger pointing and a general lack of teamwork or cooperation. After 6 months you will want out.
Fun & entertaining workplace
Outbound Sales Representative (Former Employee) – Halifax, NS – 23 October 2015
Great business culture. Supportive environment, great management but your hours are not guaranteed if you are not management and you never know when you will be laid off due to a shortage of allotted hours.
Pros
free coffee and lots of random gift giveaways every day.
Cons
unstable hours / unstable employment and no health benefits
