The management was a joke they didn't know how to staff right you'd be lucky if anybody would come and relieve you. They didn't care that you had responsibilities at home they would promise you the world and then when your shift was done they would never get back in touch with you. If they owe you money yeah you got a better chance of seeing god than getting it. They was always short staffed I should have known it was an issue when I was told I was hired full time and was given part time hours I needed the job so I needed to complain at the moment. I told them since I have responsibilities at home that over night shift would be an issue they told me there would be no issue at all with accommodating that. It wasn't even a week into my start and they were trying to force overnights on me after they told me it was not part of my hiring they would hit me with a poor me actor that pour me excuse to the point where I would feel bad. I understand helping and I did once or twice but they pretty much left me stranded and when I would call my supervisor I wouldn't get no answer I would get my phone is off or voicemail every time. Be careful folks this company is not the greatest and they are very short staffed especially if you work in Greenville. Well I don't know about now since they got a new supervisor they might have fixed that but the previous one needed help he could care less. Be on top of your money because they will find every way to short you and not care they still owe an employee 40 plus hours that still works there and refuses to pay him.

This job is terrible they expect you to do a lot of things which causes worke to be undone because of lack of staff they are horribly understaffed and then on top of that your doing alot of work for very little pay the pay is so bad to where you would really need to work two jobs if you wanted to keep bills paid and have money left over to do things with your kids and also they management is terrible as well they hard to get in contact with when you have emergencies no-one likes to answer their phone and if they do have to answer there's a little attitude with it they do not care about you or what you have going on. They want you to work on your days off and these are 12hr shifts so you barely will get any rest and then your walking around all day cleaning up after grown adults who can atleast do the simple things by throwing away trash and flushing toilets when they are done but nope it's just like cleaning up after kids in a big plant full of adults.... Sorry I couldn't do it maybe if they pay was better then I could have done it but that's not enough pay for that type of job. 

On a typical day, I started out in a dorm and would get all the supplied needed to clean the hallways, meeting areas, staircases, and bathrooms. I would then use chemical to clean a bathroom. I would use a mop to mop the floor of the bathroom. I would then start on the top floor and work my way to the bottom floor performing cleaning duties. I would dust the hallways and meeting areas. I would vacuum the carpeted areas. Then after all the hallways were clean, I would focus on the stair cases. I would sweep the stairs and then mop them. After the stairs, I would clean the elevators. After elevators, I would use chemicals to clean the windows. I would then head to the lobby. The lobby consisted of moving furniture to be able to vacuum and mop underneath. 

The manager of the company was a really good fatherly figure. But, the supervisors were very nosy and liked to start drama with everyone. They were rude and not very helpful at all.

A typical day at work for me consist of greeting customers and assisting them with unloading the product and delivering it to their showroom floors. Working on the docks and unloading a multitude of freight trucks that brings freight from all over the world.  

The Management and I have a great rapport with each other.  They look at me as a Leader and have given me more responsibility during my shift.  My co-workers and I get along great!  We enjoy each others company while working and we also pitch in and help each other get the job done.

The hardest part of my job is the pay and not having enough work hours.  That would be it....other than that...I really enjoy my job, my Management, co-workers & vendors.   I really enjoy seeing the smiles of my Management and vendors when I've done my job proficiently and promptly.  What I also enjoy is being able to see goods from all of the world in which I may not have ever seen.  To be exposed to the culture and experience is priceless.

I worked pretty much by myself for a little over half the day. A coworker and I were expected to do quite a bit during our shift. We had to clean the cafeteria 3 times a day, main office, pick up trash around the outside of the school, clean 4 boys and 4 girl restrooms, clean the library, clean 2 work rooms, all adult restrooms, they added an extra room to me one day, I was expected to clean the nurses offices, and he is expected to clean 3 classrooms. Also with the boss I would contact her about something and she would never get back to me. So thankful I left and wont be going back. Also was told when I started I wasn't going to be working enough hours for benefits but went to the meeting to find out I could have gotten benefits. If you work 32 or more hours you could get benefits and i was working 35 last school year and then I would have had to wait until November to get benefits.

Management doesn't care one bit about you . You  are a number that is it . They are really nice at first but then switch back and forth . One minute you are listening to their relationship drama the next they are writing you up for not getting your job done because they didn't have supplies in your closet to stock your cart when you got there at 5 am . You never know what you are walking in to for the day, sometimes it's drama sometimes its chill but as time went on there were more bad days than good .

Busiest days would be when the secured area we are slammed, learned to work around passengers and to accommodate them whenever possible. Management is outstanding, though not the operation systems. Hardest part of the job is when it becomes too quiet after the last arrival and you'd think there's nothing to do but, to chill, there's always something to do rather than the opposite. Operations will make sure you're doing your job to maintain the airport. Cleaning is constant especially when it gets very busy with so many passengers wanting to get home especially when there's delays to their flights. The most enjoyable part of the job is working with other companies and working with friendly people, everyone becomes a part of the airport family.

This job "could" be very therapeutic and enjoyable , but since I've been working here I've seen nothing but micro management and kitty drama from the supervisors. Its definitely a difficult task to prove your growth and actually grow at this establishment. I've also seen very little employment appreciation from the supervisors instead it seems to be very enjoyable to them to play with your livelihood if your an employee here. It's just sad the disrespect and laziness I've witness on this job, and I believe there has been complaints to corporate and still nothing has been done with the supervisors or the environment at the work place. I could continue to speak on the unprofessionalism here but there's no need to write a book.
