Pluspunten

Somewhat laidback at first, everyone seemed to be on the same page from CS, operations, management, billing and collections. It was very efficient at first.

Minpunten

Sales is looked down upon from the Senior management to the guys on back of the trucks. Sales people don't actually sell anything at Veolia. They do nothing but collect money, handle operational issues like damaged property, handle billing problems, and any other petty issues that arise in a given day which is everyday all the time. All the while salespeople are benchmarked at ridiculous sales goals and quotas, most sales people spend their time making up fake entries in Salesforce.com, so they won't get fired, instead of actually getting out and selling. Veolia is ran by ex BFI, Allied, and waste management managers and executives that still think they work at their old jobs. Completely dillusional, do not listen and do not care. Same thing with the billing department and operations. They push off as much responsibility as they can on sales. The turnover for this company will go throught the roof in the next year, and they know it, or don't care. This company does not promote sales people. They will put an operations person in before sales. Being that this company is for sale, things will only get worse, unless another trash company buys it and fires all of the management and executives. The worst part is the commission plan for sales reps. It changes from month to month, they do whatever they can to find a way to not pay you for what you sold. Waste management and allied reps make a considerable amount more than sales reps at Veolia. Don't plan on making big bucks here.

Pluspunten

Good exposure to a large, complex organization with cross-functional collaboration. Opportunities to take on responsibility and learn quickly if you are proactive. Some strong internal frameworks and experienced individuals to learn from. Visibility across different teams and business units.

Minpunten

Lack of standardized processes creates unnecessary inefficiencies and rework. Too much reliance on individual knowledge instead of scalable systems. Cross-team communication is often reactive rather than coordinated, which slows execution. Roles and ownership are frequently unclear, leading to misalignment and finger-pointing. Tools exist but are not fully implemented or consistently used, resulting in avoidable manual work.
