ABOUT THE COMPANY
Republic Services, Inc. (NYSE: RSG) is a leader in the environmental services industry. We provide customers with the most complete set of products and services, including recycling, waste, special waste, hazardous waste and field services. Our industry-leading commitments to advance circularity and support decarbonization are helping deliver on our vision to partner with customers to create a more sustainable world.
In 2025, Republic’s total company revenue was $16.6 billion, and adjusted EBITDA was $5.3 billion. We serve 13 million customers and operate more than 1,000 locations, including collection and transfer stations, recycling and polymer centers, treatment facilities, and landfills.
Although we operate across North America, the collection, recycling, treatment, or disposal of materials is a local business, and the dynamics and opportunities differ in each market we serve. By combining local operational management with standardized business practices, we drive greater operating efficiencies across the company while maintaining day-to-day operational decisions at the local level, closest to the customer.
Our customers, including small businesses, major corporations and municipalities, want a partner with the expertise and capabilities to effectively manage their multiple recycling and waste streams. They choose Republic Services because we are committed to exceeding their expectations and helping them achieve their sustainability goals. Our 42,000 team members understand that it's not just what we do that matters, but how we do it.
Our company values guide our daily actions:
- Safe: We protect the livelihoods of our colleagues and communities.
- Committed to Serve: We go above and beyond to exceed our customers’ expectations.
- Environmentally Responsible: We take action to improve our environment.
- Driven: We deliver results in the right way.
- Human-Centered: We respect the dignity and unique potential of every person.
We are proud of our high employee engagement score of 86. We have an inclusive and diverse culture where every voice counts. In addition, our team positively impacted 5.1 million people in 2024 through the Republic Services Charitable Foundation and local community grants. These projects are designed to meet the specific needs of the communities we serve, with a focus on building sustainable neighborhoods.
STRATEGY
Republic Services’ strategy is designed to generate profitable growth. Through acquisitions and industry advancements, we safely and sustainably manage our customers’ multiple waste streams through a North American footprint of vertically integrated assets.
We focus on three areas of growth to meet the increasing needs of our customers: recycling and waste, environmental solutions and sustainability innovation.
With our integrated approach, strengthening our position in one area advances other areas of our business. For example, as we grow volume in recycling and waste, we collect additional material to bolster our circularity capabilities. And as we expand environmental solutions, we drive additional opportunities to provide these services to our existing recycling and waste customers.
Recycling and Waste
We continue to expand our recycling and waste business footprint throughout North America through organic growth and targeted acquisitions. The 13 million customers we serve and our more than 5 million pick-ups per day provide us with a distinct advantage. We aggregate materials at scale, unlocking new opportunities for advanced recycling. In addition, we are cross-selling new products and services to better meet our customers’ specific needs.
Environmental Solutions
Our comprehensive environmental solutions capabilities help customers safely manage their most technical waste streams. We are expanding both our capabilities and our geographic footprint. We see strong growth opportunities for our offerings, including PFAS remediation, an increasing customer need.
Sustainability Innovation
Republic’s recent innovations to advance circularity and decarbonization demonstrate our unique ability to leverage sustainability as a platform for growth.
The Republic Services Polymer Center is the nation’s first integrated plastics recycling facility. These innovative sites process rigid plastics from our recycling centers, producing recycled materials that promote true bottle-to-bottle circularity. We also formed Blue Polymers, a joint venture with Ravago, to develop facilities that will further process plastic material from our Polymer Centers to help meet the growing demand for sustainable packaging. We are building a network of Polymer Centers and Blue Polymer facilities across North America.
Our customers are increasingly looking for decarbonization solutions, and we are leveraging our network of landfills to meet that need. Republic is committed to harnessing landfill gas, a natural byproduct of decomposing waste, and converting it to energy. Republic has partnered with renewable gas developers to construct Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) plants at our landfills, expanding beyond the 77 projects we currently have to make progress towards our goal to beneficially reuse 50% more biogas by 2030 (2017 baseline year).

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as an Operations Analyst
Get Six Sigma or Lean certified
Six Sigma Green Belt or Black Belt certification and Lean methodology training are highly valued in operations analyst hiring. These credentials signal that you can lead process improvement initiatives, which is the core value of the role and strengthens the specialty occupation argument.
Target logistics and supply chain companies
Amazon, FedEx, UPS, XPO Logistics, and major retailers with complex supply chains hire operations analysts at scale. These companies have established H-1B filing histories and dedicated immigration teams that can streamline the sponsorship process for qualifying candidates.
Learn optimization and simulation tools
Proficiency in tools like Arena, AnyLogic, or Gurobi for simulation and optimization sets you apart from general analysts. Operations analyst roles at manufacturing and logistics companies often require these specialized tools, making candidates with this expertise harder to source domestically.
Highlight measurable process improvements
Quantify your impact in terms of cycle time reduction, cost savings, or throughput increases. Employers sponsoring operations analysts need to demonstrate the role's value to their organization, and concrete metrics like reducing order fulfillment time by 20% make the case stronger than generic claims.
Frequently Asked Questions
What industries sponsor visas for operations analysts?
Manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and e-commerce are among the top industries sponsoring operations analysts. Companies like Amazon, UPS, FedEx, and major hospital systems hire operations analysts to optimize supply chains, improve workflows, and reduce costs. These employers often have established immigration processes for technical and analytical roles.
What qualifications strengthen an operations analyst's visa petition?
A bachelor's degree in industrial engineering, operations research, supply chain management, or a related quantitative field directly supports the H-1B visa specialty occupation requirement. Certifications like Six Sigma Green Belt or Black Belt and APICS Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) further demonstrate specialized expertise that helps employers build a stronger case for sponsorship.
Do operations analyst roles qualify as STEM for OPT purposes?
Operations analyst positions can qualify for STEM OPT if your degree is in a STEM-designated field such as industrial engineering, operations research, or applied mathematics. The 24-month STEM OPT extension provides up to 36 months of total work authorization, giving you a substantial window to prove your value before an employer initiates H-1B sponsorship.
How to find Operations Analyst jobs with visa sponsorship?
To find Operations Analyst jobs with visa sponsorship, use Migrate Mate, which specializes in connecting international candidates with sponsoring employers. Focus on large corporations in finance, consulting, technology, and healthcare sectors that commonly sponsor H-1B, O-1 visa, and other work visas for analytical roles. These companies typically have established sponsorship programs and regularly hire Operations Analysts.
What is the salary range for sponsored operations analyst positions?
Operations analyst salaries in the U.S. typically range from $60,000 to $95,000 depending on industry, location, and experience level. Roles in logistics hubs like Memphis and Louisville or major metro areas tend to pay at the higher end. H-1B positions must meet prevailing wage requirements for the specific occupation and location.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Operations Analyst jobs?
When a U.S. employer sponsors a foreign worker for a work visa, they are legally required to pay at least the "prevailing wage" — the average wage paid to workers in the same occupation, in the same geographic area, with similar experience. This is set by the Department of Labor to prevent employers from hiring foreign workers at below-market rates. The prevailing wage varies significantly by role, location, and experience level — for example, a operations analyst in California will have a different prevailing wage than the same role in a smaller state. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search.
