HOODZ

As an operations manager, it is my job to ensure the smooth runnings of the day to day operations for the company. 

I work on the schedule and direct interaction with clients to ensure proper times and protocols are relayed to the employees. I order stock and keep check on inventory and the tools needed by the employees to perform their day to day functions. 

I process invoices, keep track on workers hours, review job pictures and service reports. I communicate with corporate to ensure that the jobs being done are up to par with the standards set forth by them.

The owner is a great guy who strives to be the best in the business and i do my part to ensure that happens as well as continued growth.

Hardest part of my job would be dealing with the phone calls from the employees at 2am when they are having issues with building access, keys, machines that break down over time, etc...

The most enjoyable part of the job is being able to see my results in a dollar figure amount and being able to know that in the past month ive brought in 110k increased yearly revenue.

The company is currently working in two different Crews. The crew I worked in was just myself and the company owners brother. Commuting mostly to New Orleans in a roach-infested Ford F-150. My supervisor was ultimately useless and sat on his phone most of the night in his truck chain-smoking his second pack of cigarettes while I did most of the work. Sometimes we would have to clean a kitchen that requires both Crews and the other crew leader's work ethic isn't any better. His crew includes his son and his son's friend and they pretty much do most of the labor from what I've been told when they are at their own kitchen for the night..when commuting to New Orleans your time doesn't start till you pass slidell and stops at slidell on the way back. You will rarely get a lunch break and rushed in certain kitchens but the two supervisors always buddy up to sneak away for food. Overall they're hiring you so they can sit back and make a check while you labor for half they're pay.  Just like the job listing says "no experience necessary" oh, because a monkey could do the work. Probably manage it better too.

I've worked at HOODZ for several years. Their motto is "doing the right thing" and they pride themselves on taking care their customers, staff, and vendors at all costs. Most of their work is done at night with the crews, so they rely on honest hardworking crews and have good systems in place to be transparent with customers and staff.
 
They offer competitive pay, do not cap how much money their staff can earn, they offer overtime and weekly performance bonuses, along with other employee perks. 

They train their staff and promote from within their company so their is always an opportunity to advancement. They have hundreds of repeat customers, their reputation is really good in Oklahoma, which is primary reason they continue to grow.

The owner is just worried about making money. His brother is a supervisor who sits on his phone on dating sites & smoking all night while one man does all the work. The other supervisor is very verbally abusive. When both teams work together the supervisors leave the workers alone to work & go eat while the workers don't get a break all night! The owner will promise you the moon & stars to get you hired on & doesn't stay true to his word. This particular HOODZ has a very high overturn due to the working conditions. They do not provide any safety equipment & you do have to get on top of the roof. The job itself is very easy. Also on nights you work in New Orleans, you don't start getting paid until you hit Slidell...so you are on the clock for an hour driving for free. The owner has been informed of all issues & nothing changes.

A typical day can vary from working early in the morning to the afternoon, and sometimes even late evenings. Things a worker can learn is the essential functions of all tools used to clean, a certain process to properly perform a kitchen exhaust cleaning, and specific parts of a kitchen exhaust system you clean. Working with others on the job keeps the job running and the time passes by as you work and discuss with others on what else needs to be done or if any extra work needs to be attended to. The job gets complicated once you are experiencing an area with little room to work with. What you will enjoy about the job is performing the job, you will love the satisfaction of transforming what was once a dirty kitchen exhaust to something you wouldn't expect under it all.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people and management care about the workers, the work is hard though

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Probably the fact that it is night time work. They are nice enough to give a day off outside of the weekend so you can get stuff done 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great company culture work environment is j out for the weak. It’s very labor intensive and detail oriented so you gotta stay sharp

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Typical night would be two restaurant hood vent cleanings and a hood vent install or troubleshooting service call.

I remember starting @ HOODZ in Nashville as an Assistant Roof Technician. I came in excited learned my position and job did it to perfection. My lead and myself were on the same page totally nsync. Then a move comes for 2$ more ( false bottom) I took it when I should have stayed where I was. But me trying to be there for the company backfired! It takes a least a good four seasons to learn and go through all the fan and PCU systems. It takes a person wanting to learn how to do the job efficiently and effectively so that both parties can receive bonuses. Now it’s totally different from when I started. I know, change is growth. But not when you see it growing backwards. 

This is the worst company I've ever worked for. Revolving door for GMs and every one of them have not followed thru on one single thing that was promised. Management is absolute garbage. Pencil pushers who don't even know the job that the techs do on a nightly basis. They can't even get the terminology correct. I sincerely regret leaving my previous job for this one. Didn't have a schedule for a year and a half. They text you the morning of to tell you what time to come in that night. Consistent turnover with less than qualified temp workers. Family life is almost non-existent due to start times being so different EVERY NIGHT. So to sum it up, if you're looking to be miserable, apply here.

Its a great temporary part time job for someone in between jobs or needs a flexible schedule with minimal hours (you're expected to do 30+ hours of work in under 20 hours if working in the office.) The owners are great people with kind hearts just poor management. If you're a field technician, you'll have the ability to make great money if you're good at what you do which requires getting dirty and actual manual labor. That was hard to find....but when they do, they take care of those employees.

I worked here years ago but I’m still friends with a lot of my former co-workers. It was an extremely laid back and fun environment at work and if you never had to deal with managers I’d say it was perfect. I’m sure things have changed but I worked with them when it was a brand new concept and they were still figuring things out. We had one manager that needed a second office just for his ego and another that had your back every time. Dealing with polar opposite’s made it difficult. Also, trying to tell someone about issues in the field that hadn’t really done the work before and was more likely to get a pedicure than get their hands dirty was pointless!
