Cleantec Services

Cleantec was one of the worst companies I'd ever worked for. To start, it took me over 3 months to complete the hiring process. Its pretty standard for a company to check references and drug test. It took weeks to hear from them between each step - and even after my references, background and testing checked out - I was made to feel like I was dishonest or like I was suspicious in some way by the lady in the Liverpool office who does the phone calls and testing.

 The guy leading orientation, who is also a supervisor, has a poor attitude and was so rude that I'm glad I didn't work under him. I worked under a lady who was just as bad though. The supervisors act as if they mean to intimidate employees. 

There is no consistency within the company. During my interview, I was told that Monday - Friday evening availability was required. I informed them then that I was a student and am available for a few week nights - but not more than 3. I was told that some sites only require cleaning on a few nights a week.

I was hired. I completed training at sites. Then I never heard from them again. 

I called after 2 months  (I know that the people at the office are slow to communicate) only to be informed over the phone that I had been terminated a few weeks after my training was complete, due to "being unavailable" Monday - Friday week nights. Wait, what?

 I was hired after a tediously slow 3 months. Passed reference checks, background, drug screening, completed orientation and on site training. I was told that when a site opened up that matched my availability, I would be called.

 They couldn't even call to inform me that I'd been terminated. For no valid reason. I was told that the lady in HR woukd review it and be in touch with me. That was weeks ago, too.

It's no wonder they always have an ad up. This is how they run things. My advice - don't waste your time.

I worked for this computer any all of 3 months. I started my first month working close to 35 hours a week. The second month came and my hours dropped with no word to 8 hours a week. They lie to you telling you if u have a car you're guaranteed 30+ hours. Spoken to other employees who don't work for weeks and months at a time. After finding out I was pregnant with my first child, I notified my supervisor for being a high risk pregnancy who informed me to contact HR. Upon contacted HR I was told I was immediately fired, even with a doctors note stating I was on permanent bedrest until delivery. The HR lady refused to hold my job stating I needed to reapply after I delivery. After suffering a miscarriage while still working for this company and notifying HR and my site supervisor, I was still let go. This company does not care about its employees or how their personal lives effect job performance. I started my job site with 6 new people and everyone quit within 3 weeks because of the poor support from the company. They sure know how to sell a dream.

The job itself was easy cleaning work if you like having things clean and like to organize and make things look nice. The schedule is flexible. When you do a good job you can pay yourself on the back but there is no recognition from supervision or Cleantec in general of doing a good job and no incentives if you continue to do a good job. The supervision should have in person meeting sometimes to discuss how things are going and receive feedback from the employees without shutting them down and hiding behind a text message. Also HR should provide some kind of employee welcome package and handbook and a good contact phone number and email for their employees. 

A typical day consisted of working my daily buildings and choosing the shifts and buildings i worked, being offered more hours instead of obligated to take on more work. I learned so much thanks to my amazing, supportive, constructive and honest managers. I typically worked alone but on the shifts or buildings where "team cleaning" was necessary it was always a fast paced, friendly, helpful, FUN work environment. I loved every building, all the people working in the buildings, how considerate and accommodating my managers are and probably most importantly the opportunities for advancement and the hours that were available.

The job itself is not bad at all, I quite enjoyed the job itself and the work was very easy. I would do janitorial things like sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, cleaning windows, bathrooms, etc.

However, I eventually ran into problems with some coworkers who were harassing me on the job site. I asked management to do something about it multiple times, and nothing was done until they vandalized my car by throwing soda on it, to which it was at that point (2 weeks after this was already an ongoing thing) far too late, after I repeatedly asked for something to be done about them before this incident. 

Do not work here, they don’t care about their workers enough to deserve competent employees.

A typrical day at this job only requried me to clean bathrooms,floor, glass,and bars. I have learned that everything is should be done with great detail. management was great, very hard working man. My coworkers were very into the job and remained focused because we only had a certain amount of time to complete the task. the hardest part of the job would be to make sure that there wasnt anything left on the floors. the most enjoyable part of my job was going to different locations to clean instead of sticking to one location.

Employees are allowed to get away with a lot. Example if an employee is within their 90 day probation period they can call out many times before receiving a write up. Most structured places don't tolerate any call offs within an employee's probation period. However, Cleantec does and this enables staff to take advantage of the system. Supervisors then in turn have to work extra if their staff consistently calls off or is absent. Lack of communication with management. This creates frustration. 

During my Internship with Cleantec I've learned to do and complete many task: such as Employment Application Logs, Sitting in with Training, Learning the hiring process, Creating Pre- Employment tests,General office duties and I've learned how to complete the drug testings and screenings. I think the hardest part of working at Cleantec would be having to work at a certain pace. I loved being around people that enjoy working and can also have fun doing it.

My on site supervisor was barely around, didn’t see the other cleaners take long lunches, and extended 15 min breaks. We had to buy our own supplies when we were out due to our supervisor not being around. An overal bad experience especially after I take a day off once to bring my aunt to Albany for a route canal and get a call back the next day saying they didn’t need me anymore when I did my job perfectly fine.

The work experience was great. I felt that it was unfair that my new assigned manager was in charge of my evaluation for an income raise. Otherwise, the company is a great place to work at. You're mainly secluded, if you don't like being around a crowd in a work environment. The contacts are really friendly and respectful. If you have anxiety and like working alone - This is the job for you! :)
