What is the best part of working at the company?
Its rewarding to take part in creating a safe space for the manufacture of medicine and medical technology. Several of the sites even work with drugs in the development pipeline, its cool to hear first hand accounts of what new treatments are on the way.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Because we are contractors, our customers often don't have a lot of compassion for our  personal schedules, meaning dynamic schedule changes happen frequently. On the bright side it opens up a lot of overtime opportunities and keeps things fresh.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Just like in life you run into a lot of people, and not all of them have the best attitude. But there management has a great attitude and willingness to work with anyone that is willing to work with them. Just have to distance yourself from the complainers. During breaks and downtime you get to know your coworkers pretty well, carpooling and small office events take place around the holidays.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
The scheduling can be so dynamic that there isn't anything I can pinpoint as a typical day. This job has its routines, but there's always a little flavor sprinkled in-between. That is to say some days are more difficult than others, but for every day your drowning and doing overtime, you find some days where you take it easy.

To start off the work here is very easy there’s barely any heavy lifting or hard labor and your almost always cleaning with somebody the issues lie deep within poor management, disorganization and workplace drama/issues. The people you’ll work with aren’t terrible people but everyone has something to say about someone and they most likely will have something to say about you whether it’s about you as a person  or the way you work  they will find something and they will hold it against you I’ve seen brand new people get dug into within there very first hour of working. Some of the older employees take the small superiority they have and run as far as they can with it catching attitudes getting loud with you simply because they were already there before you your best bet is to just not talk extensively to anyone you work with and just keep things cordial.
The management is a mess managers will leave shifts early forget to take in your time sheets forget to sign official documents and some simply refuse to help clean a single thing even when they have nothing else to do (Good luck if you’re 3rd shift she is a mess) 
As far as the disorganization goes it mostly stems from the work itself and being prepared ect ect

I enjoyed my time at ACM , i meet alot of nice people. My two managers never really gave me problems as long as you did your job they stayed out your way. A typical day would be like a shift meeting. We talk about whos cleaning what , and what needs to be done for the day. Then we would head to our assigned area. The  coworkers i worked with were amazing. Everyone helped everyone , we tried not to leave anyone behind. When we were done our manager was kind enough to give us an extra long lumch breaks as long as we stayed on sight. We worked at Pharmaceutical Location so it was open 365 days a year but our supervisor would always try to get us off on the holidays. They made sure no one missed work , if there was a storm coming they would book you a hotel down the street lol. I mean it was fun , and really opened the doors for me in the pharma world. Would i work there again ? Maybe. If i get the same crew or something but cleaning labs is not for me anymore.



I have been a part of this organization for a couple years now and began as a technician. ACM offers an array of opportunities and promotes from within. Openings for leadership roles are routinely filled by motivated technicians.

The compensation is competitive and fair. There are regularly scheduled performance evaluations that result in increased compensation. There are a number of opportunities for additional compensation as well. Various benefit options are offered that have improved year-to-year. The company has grown in my time here with a number of new locations

I find a sense of purpose in the work and have referred a few friends. I would strongly recommend a job with this organization. I do not believe I could have found comparable opportunities outside of ACM.

Stay away, this is sales purgatory! Leaving ACM was the best thing to happen to my career! If you have the credentials they are looking for (BsC in Chem/bio), you’re much better off ANYWHERE else, unless you like getting emails about dirty toilets all day! Contrary to what the job ad might say, this is not a, “sales focused,” company and you will not make anywhere near what they’re claiming. They are crafty and misleading with their words, they are not a modern innovative company and lack even a basic CRM system. With no CRM means no contacts, no emails, no phone numbers, no notes on accounts, and you’re left completely in the dark. Don’t let the ad fool you, they are nothing more than a specialized janitor company cleaning up after people’s feces. 

There's a lot of riff-raff surrounding corporate management, and the woe's of middle management's managing styles - but in all reality the job is not bad.

Some days are better then others, and every once in awhile there's a metaphorical drought consisting of low staffing levels but that's because the company is trying hard to reduce turnover and bring in employees who are not only motivated but all around good people.

Everyone forgets that a company has a lot of moving parts, and things will always take time to change - ACM has never ignored a problem, you can't find A SINGLE aspect of the job that someone has complained about that hasn't met some kind of improvement.

It means their trying, and that means something to me.

It should mean something to you too.

Working in sterile environment. Delegation of tasks to ensure work load is fair. Management accessable 24/7. Team environment makes work fly by. Sometimes communication needs to be a little better. The pay is nice. We have employee dinner and get awesome prizes like TVs Gift Cards, trips and of course great food. Always something different. Management very helpful even with personal / family issues. I’ve always seen this company go above and beyond for the employees. Safety always comes first. They Like to promote within and have different trainings for promotions so your not walking in blindly. The shifts can be a little hard to get used to as it’s majority nights but the pay makes up for it. All around a great company to work for.

The work isn’t hard and I do enjoy it, but the rest isn’t worth the time or energy to deal with. They put people with no skills (other than being able to copy and paste a chat gpt response into an email body and press “send”)  in leadership positions. Top performers are rarely recognized, but their worst will get praised for doing something right once in a while, and a promotion. It’s like the only way to succeed is to do bare minimum and fail constantly… and then continue to fail the higher up you go. I like the people I work with every day and I like my job, but they really offer nothing to their employees at the end of the day, but a paycheck. Upper management could be replaced with ai at this point.

Do better.


I have been with ACM for almost 3 years. I enjoy the work that I do. It's not hard but definitely keeps you busy. Sadly, the worst part of the job is the drama from other coworkers. I have had the pleasure of meeting a lot of great people. The pay for the area isn't bad.  It's better than minimum wage.  The downside is there are no yearly raises. They tell you after training you'll get a raise but nothing after that. The only reason I've received more money is due to cost of living increases. The company does offer benefits after 90 days. Dental, health, 401K, etc. Health is free but absolute garbage.  They do offer bonuses for perfect attendance.  Overtime is available.  Management could be better but it is what it is.

my typical day at work pertained to me cleaning the cleanrooms where medical devices were being made. I learned alot of different chemicals to kill bacteria that I never knew existed. Management was easy to deal with, I would write an order for new shipment when low on things and they would be right on it. I loved working at W.L Gore the people there were always very nice and considerate. The hardest part of the job was knowing you had to cover so many square feet so i had to be very diligent and observant. I enjoyed the people who worked at W.L Gore they always made my days easier.
