Veolia Employee Reviews

My experience at Veolia is that there was a lot of which I had answers on how to fix but no direction on how to fix them. No help was apparent. I never received answers to questions surrounding my future or potential job roles going forward so I decided to leave and pursued an alternative venture in the same field.

Pros

Was in the area I was currently studying

Cons

No security and would not give me clear answers on my future or my value to the company

Pilbara operation a total shamble

Liquid tanker operator (HC/HR) (Former Employee) - Tom Price WA - 31 March 2023

No accountability from management. They offer you a fifo position 2/1 and it ends up being a 3/1. As a result the whole team of drivers has left. Accommodation was a shocker and management completely unresponsive and uninterested. Shame about it because apart from that the job was good. But far too much cons to make up for it all. Very disappointing

Pros

Job ok apart from being very disorganised

Cons

3/1 instead of 2/1 advertised. Poor accommodation. Inadequate management.

Fun workplace

Customer Service Consultant (Former Employee) - Keysborough VIC - 15 March 2023

An environment that I have not experienced in a long time. It's positive, you are appreciated for a job well done, you can ask questions to staff knowing you won't bother somebody. (previous workplace environments experiences). And it is not that dreaded feeling when I get up in the morning for work (again, previous job) I actually enjoy my day.

Pros

Great pay

Sorter (Former Employee) - Bibra Lake WA - 26 August 2022

Excellent work ethics, great people at all levels particularly as a sorter and that it's important to communicate with your co worker to help each other. Housekeeping is part of WHS and it is important to clear your area. Motivated, and keen to sort and at the tool meetings excellent feedback from the supervisors about overall of KPI achievements.

Pros

Great feedback about KPI achievements.

Cons

More support certain co workers those who do not pull their weight.

Great team environment, welcoming, supportive

Customer Experience Officer (Current Employee) - Jandakot WA - 15 February 2020

After working for Veolia- waste management, i most definitely will never look at a bin the same again, there are so many different sorts, and for different things which makes it important that work and bookings were correct as one person's error can lead to another 5 other error error ultimately then the driver in turn the customer. But we all make mistakes as its a very involved job, which was all so very new to me, but found it extremely interesting as was something always new popping up, and the support if made a error was always constructive criticism and spent time with you to help teach you how to fix error or avoid for the future.

Destructive, political, combative

National Shared Services Manager (Former Employee) - Rosehill NSW - 31 December 2019

The working relationship between departments is almost war like. There is little to no respect between operating departments within the company and the culture is destructive - focusing on individuals and departments who don't perform in a fix it or get out focus. management have surface qualities the are completely false, they focus on looking good in the community and to external clients whilst using the hammer and fist analogy when dealing with staff - there is a boys club mentality in middle management that defy's belief

The culture is poor as a result of the shambolic management

Sales Manager- Liquids (WRR) and Catalyst (Former Employee) - Perth WA - 19 December 2019

Poor management and culture with no coordinated direction or any real concern for the wellbeing of employees; dispite the constant preaching of "are you ok". The ongoing internal politics, compounded by a poorly implemented restructure, creates a dysfunctional and unhealthy work environment.

Pros

Salary

Cons

Management
