Jack Laurie Group

This is a great place to work if you're close to retirement. 

The executive leadership team is protected and they have known each other since their college days. There is absolutely no room for meaningful growth in this organization.

They never document written performance reviews and I have witnessed multiple employees (including myself) throughout the company fired without any prior negative feedback. 

They will tell you in the interview process how they have a road map and proper training to make you successful in your role. I never received any formal training and was expected to know certain job functions that were not related to my job description. 

They do a good job of creating a family culture but unless you bow down to executive leaders you will not enjoy working here.   

I did not even mention the controller... yikes 

I've enjoyed my time at Jack Laurie Group overall. The people are genuinely good, and the company does a nice job of promoting a family-oriented culture where leadership is approachable and coworkers are willing to help each other. There are opportunities to learn, grow, and take on more responsibility if you're willing to put in the effort. The company has also continued to grow and invest in its future, which creates stability and new opportunities. 

The biggest downside is compensation. In many positions, the pay tends to be below market compared to competitors, especially considering the expectations and workload. Benefits are solid, but higher wages would go a long way toward improving retention.

Overall, I'd recommend Jack Laurie Group to someone looking for a positive work environment, strong leadership, and room to grow. Just make sure the compensation aligns with your financial goals before accepting an offer.

This company is a failure at training, grow and employee retention. They are more interested at looking good then being a good company. Time will be spent taking everyone to lunch then dealing with issues. You are expected to be on call 24/7, run crews who consist of convicts, alcoholics and high schoolers. The good installers are far and few in between. The only reason they have business is because they are the cheapest. That’s it, there are many issues with management that aren’t addressed. Very click and switch. If you want a place to grow and succeed this place is not it. They will work you in to the ground, deny assistance and when you put your two weeks in they will dismiss you immediately. 

What I did covering shifts, training, submitting hours for staff, delivering supplies and Audits of buildings. I would work sometimes over 16-17 hours a day consecutively. The only support that I had was from the Operations Manager. They say that they operate with integrity, but that was not the case with me. The hardest part of the job was knowing that I didn’t get very much support and upper management with constantly be trying to replace me with no actual reasoning. It’s hard to work in an environment and keep them positive mindset when you know that people that you’re supposed to work with as a team are the same people plotting on your downfall. Most enjoyable part of the job was working with the employees underneath me.

• They make everyone a supervisor.
• They charge you EVERY week for the used shirts you are wearing. Yes, they recycle them. 
• They also have new people come in to learn account and take job from current employee. Your seniority doesn’t mean a thing.
• They demand a two week notice or they’ll keep your last pay check and make you come to office to get it. They will not direct deposit as usual so this caused my bank account to show non sufficient funds and I started getting charged $34.00 per day. They play dirty. 
•No one is ever on the same page with this company. They may be good at flooring but should leave the cleaning business to someone else. Their cleaners are far from being professional. 

Whether it was not having the right amount of material, giving you the wrong things for the jobs, gaslighting you about providing PPE (which you will need to pull teeth for and wasnt provided constantly) the office will say they are keeping everyones interests at heart but they move about their own schedule. Which people arent wrong when they say they make anybody a supervisor because the office staff is super scatterbrained. Sure it’s a place to learn construction, and ill say the best part was when youre working with the boys on your job who have a good attitude but other than that the office will not make you feel appreciated especially if youre starting out. It took me 6 months to get my 3 month review.

You will get zero training. You'll have no one to teach alarms or locks or key information. The app is a little bit of a joke. I met my "team-lead" a week after starting and it may have been the most inappropriate, immature work moment I've ever had. The plus side is, the majority of the place I get to clean is by myself so I can avoid other employees that they clearly don't scan or background check. This is a good company if you get a place to clean that you like and don't care about professionalism or organization. I utilize it as a second job, part-time for pocket money so this will be short lived, but I thought I'd come be honest about my experience with this company. 

90% of the time I have completely satisfied and go home knowing I accomplished something during my work day, the lowest rating I gave was Job security and that's mainly cause I have only been in my position for a short period of time and am still learning the office environment.   Overall though I feel supported and motivated by my management team and coworkers. 10% of my time I feel like I am waiting on someone cause I am used to getting answers within 30 minutes of a email, or some kind of response right away.  Basically no sense of urgency within the office at times. 

Upper management is out of touch. They have over 20 accounts one supervisor managing them.
He's overworked and underpaid for what he does they can never find anyone to clean sometimes I was asked to do double shifts on top of weekends they have site too far away and not enough pay or gas allowance they keep hiring ex-employees they let people stay on the clock and milk jobs and hours you ask for stuff that you need to do your job and it takes days to get there probably because the supervisor is always stuck working somewhere else. The job sites were okay I mean it was cleaning it's not that hard the pay isn't the greatest but like I said it's just cleaning

As a janitor for the cleaning branch of Jack Laurie group you will clean whatever building they have you working.  I was cleaning the TI building in Ossian for them.  It was back breaking, arduous, and somewhat unrealistic for the time-frame in which they wanted things done.  They also do not care about their employees.  They micromanage them into having panic attacks.  Their turnover rate is phenomenal, and I can see why.  I would steer clear of this employer if you value your sanity.  They will have you practically running to meet their time-scale.
