DM BURR GROUP

In my 2 years of working here I had the chance to meet really nice and caring people. As well as learning new things working with chemicals and power washing machines. It was an experience I’ll never forget. My boss and supervisor are the best I’ve ever had hands down. Any questions I had they answered and showed me what needed to be done easily. When I had my accident and was off a week my boss understood and comforted me in knowing my job was still there and just to relax and heal. This job you need to pay attention to work order and directions, if you don’t like cleaning this isn’t the job for you. There are times when it’s a little slow during summer but there’s enough to keep you occupied through out wether it’s dusting or sweeping or mopping etc. there’s always something to find to do. The pay increase helped a lot although I believe they deserve so much more. Considering working through the pandemic there should be an extra increase just because, more than what was given… great people to work with, good hours plus some overtime if available, and great benefits. I can’t find anything bad to say except the holiday pay days which is only 3 paid holidays. Other than that this place was a great place to work at. I only left because I found a better paying job…

I worked there for 2 years and really enjoyed my coworkers for the most part.  I have met some great people in the schools i worked.  They were really good to me and my coworkers.  The office side of DM Burr on the other hand not so much.  I worked my butt off for them.  I was a head custodian at a school and after i got out i would go to other schools to help for after school events or if they were short handed on 2nd shift due to call offs. I averaged around 60+ hours a week and helped out my district manager any way i could. I had to have surgery and my doctor wouldn't let me come back to work for 3 months so i had to go on FMLA until i got cleared to return.  When i got clearance to return to work i was informed by management that the office didn't have my FMLA paperwork on file and i no longer had a job to come back to.  I mailed my FMLA paperwork in as soon as i got the paperwork from my doctor following my surgery yet they all of a sudden didnt have it once i was set to return. They waited 3 months to tell me they didnt have my paperwork.   Even if my paperwork got lost in the mail they should've told me so i could've sent them another copy instead of telling me right before i was set to come back.  If they didnt want me back they should've told me sooner so i couldve been looking for another job while i was on leave.  I just didn't like how they handled my situation after all the hard work i put in for them.

The title of HR Coordinator is intentionally misleading - it was created for the sake of luring applicants to this position. HRC’s are exclusively Recruiters and developing professional relationships with your hired personnel is severely frowned upon. You will come under scrutiny if you attempt to help personnel who have HR related questions, or engage in any sort of employee relations, for that matter. The CEO and HR Director do not trust their employees and micromanaging is a major problem. Severe structural dysfunction at the corporate level, stemming from the CEO (who is often condescending and rude). The company will consistently bid on large contracts and give you an impractical amount of time to fill them, putting massive amounts of pressure on HRC’s. Very high turnover rate at every level making the job that much more difficult (double the industry standard).  Little-to-no room for personal or professional growth within the company. Procedures and policies are ever-changing. Effective employees get taken advantage of and are under appreciated. 

The Burr’s are mostly hands off, but great people. Some good, well-intended people within the organization. 

Dm Burr was a great company to work for.... i thought. I was thrown into a district where the custodians were used to doing whatever they want... after letting go a few people i was in a situation where if i let go more, we couldn’t accomplish our goals ... i tried to hire people but they pay rate was 10 and nobody wants that ... i was reprimanded for not firing more people when we were at a 65% staffing level. I was a tough supervisor but could only do what i could due to the low paying contract. I was let go based of allegated statements which i did not and could not say. Hr investigated for 3 days and did not interview me or question me they just read a few statements and made they decision. I was set up  because some of the custodians arent used to accountability and a boss that makes them work ... too bad hr and the director couldnt see that. They made their decision without actually investigating everyone. And the thing about this situation, when i was told that runors were going around that i said something derogatory about teo custodians I went to hr and told them to launch an investigation to see why was this being said and they fired me with no evidence.

This company may have once been a good company but where I work it no longer is, I cant afford there very high health care or I wouldn't be able to get food, they don't offer any benefits with the job, there is no way to get employee of the month or be recognized for working hard which can make it hard to be motivated. It is very obvious that the people in charge in the company don't care about anything but themselves. My boss over me tries very hard to make it a positive environment to work in and if not for him I would not be working with DMBurr. They promise a lot when you first get hired and then when your hired you realize the only way to get healthcare, or any "benefits" they offer is if you give them money?? How is it a benefit to me then?? Then after I already had been hired I was told I would never get a raise because it is not allowed, and then later I found out several people who had gotten raises. I was also told I would get snow days off and every snow day I am required to go to work. I feel like I was lied to about how great the job is and if I have no real benefits or ways to move up in the company how can I be motivated to work well.

I am employed at a cleaning establishment. My position is at a local high school. A typical day at work starts with getting your janitorial cart filled with the necessary cleaning supplies needed to completely clean your assigned area.My areas consisted of five classrooms, auditorium, weight room, and ladies rest room, cleaned on alternate days. I learned to be ready and eager to address any emergencies that may arise and to be willing to assist my co-workers if needed. My co-workers consisted of about five or six people depending on the job. On a good day I might see my direct supervisor for about an hour depending on whether it was during school days or during the summer months which may consist of working alongside her during the entire day. The hardest part of the job was during the summer months when school was out, but open to any and all activities. This made it somewhat difficult to keep rooms clean and to wax floors. The most enjoyable part of the job was getting to know your co-workers and enjoying lunch or any down time that may have accrued.

I was a armed school security officer. I would check on 4 schools each week, liason security efforts with local law enforcement each week.  I had very positive interactions with client site employees and had the ability to be a friendly presence with the students ( This was of course due to vetting, my law enforcement experience and background check. ) 
Perform foot patrols inside and on exterior of the schools. Able to interact with parents in a customer service approach in the mornings and afternoon. 
Protected client school's community and helped maintain order when infrequent disruptions occured. 
I was able to use my own car to go from site to site each day. I was able to help make my own schedule for the most part. 


This is by far the worst company I have ever worked for, favoritism runs rampant, tyrannical leadership, aweful pay, overpriced benefits, Oh, and during this return to work during a pandemic, when masks are required by law to work in enclosed places? They aren’t enforced, the manager doesn’t really care, rules for thee but not for me, you signed on for night shift? Ok, well half the year you’re working morning shift, you don’t  have a choice. The work isn’t terrible, but they are so understaffed that you’ll be expected to do far more than is reasonable for one person, laziness runs rampant. It is by no means surprising that the company has such an extreme turnover rate. If you value your sanity, don’t bother applying, if you like a decent wage, don’t bother applying, if you don’t like a manager breathing down your neck, don’t bother applying, co workers? Either so talkative you want to shove a pencil in your ear, so quiet and angry your worried they’re going to shove a pencil in your ear, or so mind numbingly incompetent that you’ll want to pull your hair out. If I could rate it lower I would

Cleaning an elementary school is not fun, not rewarding, not gratifying, not beneficial in anyway. When you have an employer who does not care about these facts, and makes you even more miserable about your life choices and career paths, you will find yourself becoming depressed, bitter, angry even. DM Burr is worthless in aiding you with this, with the people they have in charge. Like you often see school janitors depicted. It's either that, or you're perceived as some weirdo who likes being around children a little too much, or you're seen as a loser, with nothing good going for you. On the other hand, there's the complete lack of competence from management. For instance, I was given my supervisor's passcode to enter the school, and never received my own, for the few months I was working there. I doubt it's changed, and I don't remember it anyway, but what if I was some psycho with a grudge? That's the kind of management I was dealing with, and this is a fairly large company, who knows what else is going on.

Not a progressive company.  Wages are low,nonunion.Employees need someone to speak for them.  Top management has a pulpit bully mindset.  Loyality is not noticed or appreciated.  Discuss wages with another worker and it is foun d out, you are terminated(policy manuel 2008).  Top positions turn over like pancakes.  No miniorities at toplevel.  I saw it as a slave menality.  They hire anyone.  Very very unorganized, ask them where certain items are they can't tell you. Qualitycontrol is horrible.
A typical day at job site probably okay,but dealing with the company is usually horrible. A typical day,one of their supervisors visit and point out a cobweb at least 10 feet off the ground high in a corner and she freaks out, not the DMBurr way,what a joke.  Instead of raises they give workers some plan where a worker is awarded 5-20 bucks each quarter.
They need checking into by the wages and hours department.  Its a paycheck,but nothing else.once again people keep looking,janitor jobs are a dime a dozen, by-pass this one. coming from someone who knows
