Pros

Emterra is not just about hauling your recycling away from the curb; that’s step one and there is more to it than that. Emterra is about making sure your recycling is actually recycled. I like that, it is important for me to work in an organization that aligns with my personal values. And work is what you make of it. If you want to go to work every day, work hard and know that you are actually making a difference, than this is place for you!

Cons

It's a big, small company and there is lots to do. No reason to ever be bored!

Pros

It is a very friendly and fun environment with an excellent upper management team. It is a nice and casual environment.

Cons

There aren't too many cons, some of the policies surrounding accounting and purchasing are a little convoluted and the company is split into sides and lack a whole feel.
