Pros

Hard-working, smart co-workers, varying work from day-to-day.

Cons

This is a terrible company to work for, with an incredibly high turnover rate. Environmental specialists are essentially garbage collectors who aren't paid more and are treated worse than actual municipal waste collectors. They tell you that it's a blue collar job during the interview - what they don't tell you is that you are forced to work 60+ hour weeks, every single week. My shortest week was 61 hours, my longest was 82. When I was desperate for a job out of college I chose not to listen to these bad reviews, thinking that the people leaving them were somehow lazy or not willing to work hard. I wish that I had listened to the reviews, and waited to find a job with acceptable working conditions somewhere else. Please, don't put yourself through this. Work at a grocery store, babysit, do ANYTHING but don't take a job as an Environmental Specialist at this Somerville office.

Ouch. This is some pretty surprising feedback. We appreciate your honesty and ultimately feel like this job may have not been the right fit for you from the get-go. In checking our payroll records for all of 2016, we found no record of any Environmental Specialist having worked 82 hours in a week. We pride ourselves in full clarity during our interview process, about what the job entails. We only move forward with job offers once we are confident that the candidate understands the work and that they are a good fit for our organization. You are certainly right about the pros you mentioned! We have had tremendous success with those who are smart, hardworking and adaptable to varying schedules. TEI is a challenging, fun and rewarding place to work. It’s unfortunate that your experience was different. Regardless, we appreciate the time you’ve spent with TEI and wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. -Bill Coe, VP of HR

Pros

As a company, PTO time is available from the start (granted you hit your 90 day), and it makes it really flexible to plan ahead. There are a ton of opportunities to shadow, and learn new roles as long as you speak up. Mentorship, and being able to use your voice is huge. It gives entry level people the ability to really establish themselves.

Cons

There is not enough movement on the ground in establishing new oss accounts so it can be difficult to advance in the region you are currently in if you are unable to move. Overall, upper management in their regions have too much going on / on their plate. It is difficult to understand their vision because of infrequent comunication - lots of missed opportunities to delegate and have open communication to make the whole management team flow better.
