4M Building Solutions

What is the best part of working at the company?
The work keeps you busy and  co- workers and supervisors make it a great atmosphere to be apart of working for 4M Building Solutions. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
At 4M Building Solutions  you have all your needs to do your work and  at my  job and area. We all helped in making  sure  we did  a good job that made  4M Building Solutions one of the best Janitorial Services  that Companies that needed our services could count on  . No stressful part of my job.  I can truly say, I enjoyed my job.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
We work together as a team and all my coworkers were awesome to work with. We worked around other Companies that had their employees working in same environment and we do our jobs and they did their job. And we all got along working together around each other.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
We worked with a 1st/2nd and 3rd shift and we had great communication on what needed done  on our shift. We had our own break area /office area in a 4M personnel only room.  Had couple same job duties to do every night on my 3rd shift I worked,  and  it was great to have our own break area and having everything I needed to do my job and keeping it clean  is  always in supply room.

If you do your job and get your work done, they will mostly leave you alone. You will probably only see your supervisor occasionally for a quick check-in to make sure everything is being done properly. However, don’t expect much support or advocacy from supervisors if you bring up concerns. They say you can come to them with problems, but it often feels like it’s viewed more as complaining than something they actually want to address. Pay is tied to the client contract you are assigned to. From what I understand, there is little to no room for negotiation or raises once the rate is set. The schedule is also very strict. If you stay late or come in early, you typically won’t get paid unless it falls exactly within your designated hours. Overall, it’s a job where you can work independently, but it’s not really a place with strong support or much opportunity for career growth. The hardest part of the job is the high expectations from clients. You often end up taking on additional projects and tasks, but there is no additional compensation for the extra work. The most enjoyable part of the job is probably being able to walk around and get some cardio in while still getting paid. 

Depends on what you’re looking for, to summarize. 
If you work full time and need a part time position, don’t do it. 
If this will be your only position, it’s decent. 

I worked a full time job and came in for my shift right after. It would be a toss up if any type of management was there, or who it would be. We had no way of contacting them if we needed a day off. Nor could they keep anyone employed. Including supervisors, hence why it was so chaotic. Because of the staffing issues, they threw more duties on my plate causing me to stay later. Before I knew it I was drowning. 
If you’re going to work here, be firm with them. State when you can come in, how late you’re willing to stay and understand exactly what your role will be. The management is from out of state, they fly in to check in. They do not care about you, they care about to customer account. 
If this will be your only job, I don’t believe it will be as bad. Just don’t expect much. 
To be fair it is an easy position when your tasks are clear and management isn’t being weird. To each their own. Goodluck. 

Would've been a good job, but where I worked we were extremely understaffed. I was the only exam room cleaner for an entire building, 4 floors. Expected to go back through and vacuum afterwards, 4 floors. Job was originally 6pm to 11pm and that quickly became 5pm to whenever everything was finished, usually 2am to 4am. They wouldn't allow us breaks often, only occasionally. And despite this 30m was still removed from each nights check in place of a lunch period we rarely got. When it was brought up to management they refused to fix it and offered to start giving me nightly lunches but not to tell coworkers. They do not allow call offs for any reason, even after the introductory 90 days. I had a serious situation at home and they guilt tripped me to come in, which I did in tears. Had us cleaning covid and bed bug rooms without proper PPE. Refused to put anyone at full time even though we were all working full time for more than the several months required to be moved into full time. No benefits. 

this goes for just about every cleaning company that is offering barely minimum wage: if you can work by yourself, it will be for the best. It is relying on other people showing up and when they don't, the lack of cover you will get. the bosses and floaters are understaffed and even if they could get some one there to cover your shift (if you are sick or have other obligations) the job will suffer and require "catch up." It requires worker solidarity if you are in a team, the management would love to not even come around and just take supplies orders via phone.  if you are part-time, you will not get vacation or sick leave hours: if you don't show up to work, you don't get paid. so even if you schedule time off months in advance, they won't be prepared for it. Get a location where you are by yourself, show up 99.9% of the time, get your work done and done well, and you won't hear a peep from any of the bosses for months on end.  Get a Library Card and Download Audio Books and just do the work. 

It’s a job where you basically work by yourself.  Communication is almost non-existent with upper/lower management.  Employee turnover is so bad that sometimes I didn’t even get told what my new employee's names were!  Eventually I was having to use Google translate to even talk to each one!  The managers response was “deal with it like we do… Google translate”. Ugh, the pay definitely doesn’t reflect the work that they require of you.  Overall it was not worth the headaches on a daily basis, when you can work anywhere else for more pay.  It’s a shame that they don’t try to fix  their shortcomings, and the decisions made by management only make it worse for the employees.  It’s VERY easy to fall into the “I don’t give a darn”attitude, because it is the same attitude that the managers have above you! SMDH 

The job itself wasn't bad at all. I actually really enjoyed my job! For the work expected and performed the lay is way below what it should be. $10 a hour to walk 4+ miles in a 8 hour shift. Only break you was guaranteed is lunch and that wasn't 45 minutes after you got to work. The times I was told to be there when I got hired was different than the times I was actually supposed to be there. Instead of calling the manager on your shift your expected to call the first shift manager regardless of the situation. There is ALOT of favoritism here. If you was good friends or sucked up to the boss you didn't have to do anything really. 90% of the people on the team are great people, just very poor management. Serious lack of communication all the way around. 

When the ice storm was going to hit KY the 2nd shift workers was told that if they didn't go into work that day that they absolutely had to work Saturday or they would be fired. 

4M is by far one of the worst places to work. Management is secretive and private, employees arent told anything until last minute and then management makes that our problem by calling you every single day until you do it quickly. I used to love this job, and 4M has quickly turned it into something from a nightmare. They will work you to the bone and then you get written up for ANY mistake made, even if it’s something small. They don’t give warnings, and good luck trying to actually talk to anyone or get any help from someone, as managers are tied up with their own work. Office isn’t helpful anymore, and I haven’t even been able to get them to update my address yet, thank god for forwarding mail as that’s the only reason I got my tax return! This company is will treat you like a number, that’s it. Avoid it all cost!

Assistant for manager to rely on district, etc for assistance with areas in building that need attention.

Staffing issues.  Lack of qualified people to staff each department.  Believe covid past has seriously created the problem and it will be a long time before change will be seen.

Each staff member bring a certain attitude to the and it is this that creates the positive energy in each environment.  As manager, supervisor etc no matter what position they hold has to pass that on.  Makes for success. This is present with 4M and it's success.

Very disorganized company, they bought out Thario and were completely unprepared, strange because they are in 26 states.

They do not believe in reviews and do not give raises. There aren’t bonuses, or Christmas gifts. Not even a Christmas card. They have a bingo game….. good luck against the employees in the 25 other states.

All the locations are different. The local management does try hard to match employees up with jobs they will like and are close to your area.
