My girlfriend used to work for this company, so this is coming from a former employees's perspective. This company and its owner are not running this company to protect the environment. This company is operating in order to cash in on the environmental protection industry. If you ever decide to work for this company, ask their staff how long their retention rate is. Almost none of them stay longer than a year because of how the owner treats them.
