MERIDIAN, MS – July 29, 2025 Among Cassandra Pigg’s many titles, including wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, is Office Manager of Waste Pro’s Meridian, Mississippi Division. Getting to know Cassandra, you would soon realize it’s her bubbly personality and can-do attitude that make her the perfect fit for the multiple roles and responsibilities she navigates. 

Cassandra comenzó su carrera profesional con sólo 18 años, trabajando como asistente de oficina temporal, asumiendo cualquier tarea que fuera necesaria. Trabajó para una empresa de fontanería durante 12 años como gerente de oficina y luego pasó más de 10 años en un club de campo local en Mississippi antes de encontrar su camino a Waste Pro. Comenzó su carrera en Waste Pro contestando al teléfono y ayudando en la atención al cliente. Cassandra se adaptó rápidamente y, en pocos días, ya estaba aprendiendo el lenguaje y los detalles del sector de los residuos sólidos y el reciclaje. Como ella misma explica: "La falta de experiencia en el sector no me impidió abrazar mi naturaleza agradable. Me dije a mí misma: aprenderé sobre la marcha". Cuando comenzó, trabajaba con la entonces Gerente de Oficina Anna Joyner y le da crédito a Anna por desempeñar un papel clave al brindarle oportunidades de aprendizaje en varias áreas del negocio, incluida la contabilidad y las operaciones. En mayo de 2017, Anna hizo la transición al nivel regional en la administración, dejando vacante el puesto de Gerente de Oficina de División. Cassandra fue recomendada para el puesto y ha desempeñado esta función desde entonces. Contó que los dos primeros años fueron duros, ya que se tomó las responsabilidades muy a pecho y quería tener éxito. Desde entonces, Cassandra ha encontrado su ritmo y es esencial para el éxito de la División Meridian.

As Waste Pro and the Meridian Division experienced significant growth over the last few years, Cassandra’s role as Office Manager evolved in tandem. She played a pivotal role by taking on additional responsibilities and adapting to the company’s changing needs. She appreciates the more corporate feel of the company now, while still maintaining the personal touch of a family-owned business.

Throughout her roles over the years, she has handled all aspects of account management, from start to finish, including residential, commercial, and construction projects. Just last year, she served as the primary contact and on-site production coordinator for a series of public-facing video presentations designed to inform customers about their services. Her pride in the well-received video presentations, which highlight Waste Pro’s residential, commercial, and construction services, is a testament to her dedication and contributions to the company’s success. She tries to lend a hand where needed and is always smiling and kind to her team. She shared that she loves the accounting aspect of her role the most, as that was the career path she initially wanted, but sees her role now as so much more. This December marks 14 years with the company.

“Everyone is always kind, patient, and happy to share their experiences. That is why I have stayed so long and truly feel that Waste Pro is a unique company. We are family first, and I try to live up to the high standards the company sets. My door is always open, and if someone needs an ear or shoulder, I want to be there for my team,” she shared. And family means the most to Cassandra. As a mother, she has watched her two daughters grow and thrive, one of whom now works with her at Waste Pro as a residential dispatcher and customer service representative. She remarried nine years ago and has two bonus children. She is also a grandmother to three grandchildren, Raylan and Meredith, from her daughter Lexi, and Sam, the son of her daughter Chloe, who all call her Sassy. She credits the strong women who raised her with instilling in her a sense of drive and determination. “My mom and aunt were strong-willed and gave me a strong sense of self and a drive to push through life’s obstacles to get the job done.”
