They can't stay staffed and continually take on work despite this, so expect calls any day of the week to come in and clean somewhere on short notice. They cut people loose too early from training because of this (training is a bunch of videos and maybe a few days with some overworked manager) and basically if you don't show up with all the skills you'll need you get sacked. Office is gossipy and unable to coordinate the work load. 

Let's say you have three jobs twenty minutes apart from one another, and half an hour from home. You only clock in when you're at a property. Your drive time is not compensated unless you're upper management. And even if you are, their lack of benefits does not outweigh wear and tear on your vehicle. 

Take commercial work from them only. Residential work is grueling and the standards are impossibly high for the average person.

If you show up as a person who can clean anything perfectly every time, who isn't effected by stress, and who has no life, you'll love this place.

Some of the members of Management are great at sitting in the office all day, but when it comes to juggling multiple tasks or putting in any effort that might take them out of their comfort zone they fail miserably. When the time clock hits 5, they are done regardless.
 I do believe some of the Management are certainly better than others and some really excel at their jobs, but they are the minority at this company. Don’t look for strong leadership here, because generally speaking many are amateurs- and really if you are looking for quality leadership ask yourself this “what kind of leadership can I expect from janitors?”. This is not a job where you could expect professional leadership or consistently competent decision making. They are more like minor league “b” list players pretending to be big league All Stars.

If you like cleaning, the work itself is good. I love cleaning routes and being on my own for most of my shift. My previous supervisor was great, but upper management is terrible. They plan secret little meetings and show up unannounced to fire people. It’s really poor taste how they do things. I think they have a lot of power struggles among management. And they are pretty clueless to what actually goes on at the account. One of the managers comes out to the account, but like the current supervisor he sits in the office most of the day and doesn’t really know what is being cleaned and what is not. He’s all about talking you to death and trying to make you believe he’s smarter. I try not to take it personally when he is being condescending because I think the pudgy, little guy might have Down syndrome.

I work part-time and need a job that is very flexible, this job is great for that.  Management is really good working with me when I need to adjust and or tweek my schedule.  I have had a chance to work in the office as well as my regular cleaning job.  Working in the office showed me how much management has to juggle everyday tasks.  They step up and do work that they may not have been hired to do.  Everyone in the office pulls together to keep things moving smoothly without any bumps for the clients.  I enjoy cleaning at my accounts and take personal pride in what I do.  I also enjoy the people I work with.

Management has been bad before, but it is absolutely horrible now. They know very little about their own accounts but are arrogant know- it-alls. Favoritism is rampant, and if you are not a favorite you will get no respect whatsoever. The company culture they talk about is a complete JOKE. The work itself is OK if you get put into a good account. But you can't just do your work, there's too much lying, scheming, and backstabbing going on.

These managers are so bad they lost their biggest account. On top of that they announced it at a meeting that we were losing our jobs and didn’t even invite all of us to the meeting. One lady, for instance came in later in the week to find out and was crying because she had to hear it after the fact. They are so inconsiderate. It’s funny that some of the cleaners knew about it ahead of time because the manager took the time to tell them in person but not anyone else. “Favorites”!

While Ashland cleaning truly wants to create a gossip free safe environment for employees, they lack care and communication. It is normal to have a job one day and show up not having one the next day. They give very little explanation as to why an employee might be jobless overnight. Very unprofessional.

This is a wonderful small business where  all employees are known by name.   You are appreciated and respected.   The company created a special bonus program to show this to employees.  Most company's will pay a bonus to a new employee but here you are given a bonus for being a current employee.  Employee referral bonuses are unlimited.   I love working here.  We have a great team. 

I recommend staying away from Ashland Cleaning. Their inability to meet the requirements set forth in their commercial contracts is cause for great concern. If they cannot be responsible to their clients, imagine their attitude toward their employees. 
 The atmosphere at Ashland Cleaning is not a culture of cooperation. It is more a culture of fragile egos and jealousy. Clueless.
