Facilities Performance Group, LLC

Quick/easy interview just means they're desperate for workers. Training was nonexistent, consisted of following an older employee who just ignored you; equipment was usually in severe disrepair and your typical coworker was exactly the kind of person you'd expect to see working at a company that hires anyone, pays them next to nothing and takes the most hands-off approach to management. If you were new or didn't have a badge, you were treated as a burden on whoever was made to escort you.

Pay started at $7.85 for custodians, and management found reasons to dock pay and rescind "attendance bonuses," which was like an extra 25 cents an hour at the time. Even just having to miss work for being sick was enough. If you worked "overtime" by coming in on the weekend, you got an extra dollar an hour. Asking a supervisor about getting more hours just got a laugh.

Mondays had workers come in early and stay late - I was not told this in the interview or any of the paperwork I was given when starting, meaning I was late on my very first day.

Raises up to $9 an hour were only grudgingly given and only if turnover for a particular job was deemed to be too high; some of the custodians ended up making more than the supervisors. Not that you could tell who those were, because you never really felt like you were on a "team" anyway - it was just a bunch of dudes pushing dust around and talking trash. Frequent harassment/bullying between employees was waved off by management, or dealt with in ways that would put the one reporting in danger of reprisal/retaliation.

This is a job you take in desperation. If you are not in such a state - Walk away and do not look back.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part about working here is leaving. This company is very unprofessional and disrespectful.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dealing with the untrained uneducated HR and management team. They DO NOT KNOW how to talk to people and they make up the rules as they go. There are NO annual raises or evaluations. This company is family ran so all of the top paying positions are held by family members or those sleeping with family members. If you are looking for a company where your skills and education equal growth and promotion THIS IS NOT THE COMPANY FOR YOU!

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Hateful, stressful and unwelcoming. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Walking on egg shells, unsure if you have a job or not. If your not willing to be a yes sir boss person and kiss their tail, then your days are numbered.

Wouldnt even recommend to a pan handler standing on a street corner   Wouldnt even let my work partner off for an emergency procedure on his wife so he quit. They didnt care just made me do the job of 2 people for no more pay.  Brought another person in to do another building and paid them more than what I was and I was doing the work of 2 where the other person did very little.  Only got spot and pay because management knew her mom and grandmother.  They missed at least one day a week and sometimes 2 and I was asked to do their building along with what I had to do and just got my stuff done with taking less time on break and just long enough to eat and start back to work just so that I could get my job done.  VERY POORLY RUN COMPANY AND WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT TO EVEN SOMEONE THAT I DISLIKED...... ONLY GIVE IT A 1 STAR CAUSE IT WOULDN'T LET ME GIVE A HALF

Depending on what you get hired for, your orientation will thoroughly explain your first week.  Otherwise, they're so short-handed in ALL departments that you will get paired with another department until further notice that has absolutely nothing to do with what you were hired to do and there is nothing you can do about it.  Even if you do your job exactly as explained, management will find something wrong with every move you make and encourage you to clock out if you "aren't going to work."  Management is incredibly rude, pay is average, and they are anything but organized.  For the first 90 days you are forced to follow someone with a badge, so this means no going to the bathroom on your own.  If you get caught wondering around because you lost your group you could face security scrutiny and be the proud owner of a hefty fine.

The place was good for making your money and going home but this place is too full of drama for a work house. The managers and not professional I often felt stalked and uncomfortable watched. If they don't like you consider yourself fired. They never had supplies and would usually brush it off on one manager to do it. They never had enough people to cover the hubs. Supervisors hide supplies. Many of the workers aren't authorized to drive the garbage truck/Sweeper truck which you need a Cdl. ONCE YOU PICK A JOB THAT'S YOUR JOB FOR THE REMAINDER OF YOUR STAY WITH FPG BE CAREFUL. You can drive with them even if you have a DUI though ask they plant manager he'll tell you. My conclusion is go here to make your money. Go in alone and leave alone trust nobody.

Working at Facilities Performance Group is hard because it is a cleaning company, and what we are cleaning is the FedEx World Hub in Memphis. The rules are strict, some set by our company, but most by FedEx because there is so much opportunity for theft, and also because we are on an airport, with strict rules from the government. Although there was a brief cut in overtime this year, and pay is low, generally there is ample opportunity for overtime, and it is possible to make a decent living if you're willing to work hard and willing to work extra hours. Nothing people are assigned to do is all that difficult, but most of the labor is physical and you have to be on your feet all day. Some of the jobs keep you outdoors in almost any kind of weather.

Fun place to work and was a great way to get my feet wet as an administrative assistant.  I enjoyed working with the manager and all of our employees and built some long term healthy relationships.  I enjoyed the flexibility in my job and all of the different tasks that I was allowed to do.  I was the administrative assistant but because of my mechanical background, I was allowed to work on our vehicles and replace parts/repair equipment as needed to make operational.  The hardest part of this job was trying to enforce rules as the administrative assistant because the personnel did not take my position as anything when I started.  After gaining the respect of employees, it was a very awesome job.

I actually really liked working here. What I did was just clean the place, LG&E in particular. It was a huuuuuge place, so I had to travel via Polaris Ranger, which was really fun. I had a couple assigned areas I would have to clean everyday, and after they were cleaned, I could do whatever. I usually went to the workout room and hit the treadmill or the bench and watched TV or got on my phone. It was a really relaxed job. And no one is watching you or following you ever, unless you pick a coworker up to bring them to their area if they can't drive the Ranger.

I must say though, if you're going to work here, prepare to see some putrid things. Do remember, it's a janitor position, and it's no ordinary janitor position.

If you get up, go to work, do what is asked, and have no problem helping out in the needed areas this job is amazing. People like to complain about working, so they can sit at home. Most of the jobs here are fast pace, hands on, and you will be on your feet. If that is not your cup of tea, do not apply and then complain about how terrible the job is. Orientation is very educational and you will without a doubt know what your everyday task will be.  

ONLY CON: No one these days wants to work, so just like most every other company. FPG is short staffed so you will have to assist in other areas. (Not a Con in my opinion, but would be to most people)
