Controlled Contamination Services

A typical day at work is cleaning cleanrooms with various chemicals. I’ve learned how to document, take measurements, be time effective, and be a team player as well as lead a team. Management is at disarray especially if you come in from the outside or if the contract was recently acquired by CCS. A lot of internal conflict regarding needs of certain locations unless supplies are provided by the client themselves. Workspace culture-wise a lot of communication is needed to get things accomplished, and there is little to none, requests upon requests have been made and have gone unanswered and there is a lot of false delegation. The hardest part of the job is when your city is constantly losing contracts causing an influx in hours. Meaning unless there is a special contract or an “emergency” they are not allowed to provide per diem for you to travel if you are expected to travel 2-4 hrs out of your home city to work and make hours. Forcing you to choose between bills and traveling with your own vehicle while they disregard the cost vehicular maintenance (self or labored) to arrive to those faraway locations. The most enjoyable part of this job are the other hardworking people I’ve met on the field across different jobs within the company, whether it was general labor, databank floor management, Cleanrooms or janitorial.

There has always been a lack of management and leadership in my 3 years of working with this company. I have been at multiple sites and i worked hard for this company, all for management and higher ups to never have the employees backs and constantly lie to them. Making promises to clients that they can’t fulfill, and pushing workers to their limits making many people leave before even working more than 3 months. They don’t ever want to give you a raise, you will have to beg and constantly remind management of the raise that you have asked for or even been promised. I was told i would be getting a raise and only got said raise a year and a half later constantly bringing it up. The work is good. Its not complicated or anything like that, but the people and especially management make the job horrendous. They never communicate anything. You do not want to work here. You will be stressed out and pushed to your limits and i have reached mines. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Being in an important role without having to work 30 years in an office job. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Sometimes you will get team members that want to do things their way, which can be exceptionally frustrating if you care about doing things the right way in this kind of industry.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Controlled Contamination Services (CCS) provided quite a satisfactory work culture. Most of my grievances of the job came from the company who contracted my team, and the team itself at times. However, I never had any problem trying to get contact info for the various branches of CCS which made me feel like CCS respects their employees.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
12 hour shifts of being on your feet doing a lot of cleaning. Some government paperwork is involved, so if you are not ready to accept that level of responsibility you might not want to work here.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The company they really care they work with you. The hours are great no complaints.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There is no stress if you don’t have enough hours you just ask management and they’ll speak to you that you get those hours.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It’s a great environment. You don’t have to worry about nobody watching everything that you do. They trust you you do your job and do it to the best of your ability and go home.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Well, we have contracts at multiple hospitals. I am a supervisor I perform excellent customer service I perform cleaning operations under guidelines. I’m ensuring that all cleanings are complete properly and correctly. I clean all surfaces with controlled environment, including ceilings walls, equipment, and floors..

What is the best part of working at the company?
Independent work ethic encouraged/desired/beneficial.
  Favorable/flexible hours.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
When special events happen (office parties, holidays, etc) messes occur with greater frequency, and I don't want any mess left on my watch.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Worker is independent and responsible for whatever is currently going on, so if one office space is busy or working late, one should not interrupt employees of the client.
  So afterwards there is motivation to clean that area when available, before next use.
  That can be hard to schedule, but they usually understand, or pay me overtime.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Short, without much difficulty, fairly routine, but different day-to-day with what materials are low and require restocking etc.

It was a mixed bag, my time with CCS. The upper management from 'corporate' were friendly, hospitable and pretty understanding when it came to most cases. They were capable of dealing with issues that we would run into, and help us with questions/training. 

My issue was with the management at the site where I worked in particular. There was a lot of 'in-fighting' you may call it, where it seemed as if the supervisors were being led in many different directions all at once, resulting in a very slow pace of work progress. There was also occasional favoritism at the site where I worked, which also resulted in a slower pace of progress. 

Working on other sites under CCS was some of the best times of my work life. A time or two I was flown out to work on another site, with a different set of site supervisor and staff; It was very well organized, enjoyable and memorable! 

 

Your job started off as a routine gig, but as time went on, the challenges became more apparent favoritism, gossip, and safety hazards made it harder to focus. A construction site without proper lighting, with loose rocks and sharp blades scattered around  That’s a serious safety concern. It's frustrating when management doesn’t prioritize the well-being of their workers.

Despite the drawbacks, the best part of your time there was the people you met. Building strong connections with your second-shift team was meaningful, and saying goodbye due to layoffs was tough. It’s never easy when a workplace doesn’t live up to expectations, but the friendships you made and the experiences you gained are valuable. 

Now that this chapter is closing, the door is wide open for something better whether it's a workplace that values safety, fair treatment, or just a more positive atmosphere.

I got this job in a rush during the pandemic and being out of work , it's a very easy job and no problems with the customer at the site, all the problems come from management and people you work with. Toxic management expects you to be open for any task, at any time, anywhere but you text them in need of supplies or just questions and you get no response so your there guessing your next move, also there is no respect when spoken to. Co-workers are often starting drama within themselves or find it with you and several meetings take place and most of the time there is no resolution til someone quits, management is easy to pick sides as well. I’ve been working here for a while and new people are getting paid what I earned, no advancement unless you really have no life outside of work. No vacation time* no advancement* no holiday pay* no holidays off* NO Motivation*
Glad I’m out of this Environment.

During my tenure with Controlled Contamination Services, I was able to achieve much but was stunted due to the lack of growth opportunities with the company. 
I learned the value of dedication and work ethics but was consistently by-passed for promotions due to the constant change in management. Employees were, for the most part, friendly and productive but was misguided due to lack of training and communication barriers. 
Being in charge of 10-15 employees, it was my duty to schedule and implement daily tasks, ensuring that all obligations be properly communicated to researchers and documented to the standards of the Food and Drugs Administration.

Workplace culture has been horrible ever since a new manager took over.
Previous manager was supportive and was not afraid to go into the cleanroom with us, would help with daily and monthly cleans, and would help cover if we had an emergency. New manager came in cutting hours, causing tension between employees, doesn't want to be in cleanroom with us during monthlies, and making the job more difficult than it needs to be.
Thankfully the client is very supportive and helps us out as best as they can, whether it's restocking, letting us know if we need to pay more attention to detail in a certain site/area, and opening up sites for us to give us extra time to complete a monthly clean.
