The Chicago office team has great people and work culture, and going in everyday was nice knowing you had great coworkers. Sometimes we would all have lunch together or lunch would be provided occasionally. Although, since the office is small, we lacked man power on completing time consuming projects for our many potential customers/bids. Having 1 or 2 people try to complete pricing bids for 4-5 different large projects per week sometimes seemed impossible. Overall our clients and accounts are great, although I had the unfortunate luck of having the one account at the company that required special care beyond janitorial services. This made things very complex, and not having knowledge in those other industries we provided services for was a challenge. Otherwise if you are an account manager/analyst for just janitorial services account you should be ok. The DMs RVPs that have been there long enough are easy to work with, newer ones are a challenge but manageable. The sales team is easy to work with as well. The compensation was decent although I felt underpaid for all the responsibilities I was carrying since the new hire I was working with was clueless and I had to pick up his slack (another unfortunate situation). The benefits were one of the biggest drawbacks, there’s not enough PTO and the health insurance was way too expensive. Although if you need to take a half day or need few hours off for something important they are very flexible and understanding. Also taking time off is fairly easy even with only a few pto days. Also there’s work from home flexibility which was nice. Overall I’d say this is a solid place to work if you are given the responsibility of a very manageable account or accounts and not the one that I was appointed to. Also keep in mind this role requires ALOT OF WORK and sometimes long hours beyond your typical 40 hours. 

At first I liked it the store I was located at was phenomenal with their staff. The job was a good and easy going for a year straight. By the time I was entering into my second year, the constant change of management was getting out of hand I was never trained for the job so I did the cleaning as I would with my own home. The  new manager I got was not willing to work around with my dr appointment schedules when finding out that I was getting sick constantly, started accusing me of stealing work supplies along with the chemicals, which what would I need hospital grade cleaning supplies for in my home when everyone in my house hold has asthma? I have no need to steal anything. I started getting harassing text messages by management about work schedule and how I was never clocking in which is incorrect I always clocked in and out. My pay was starting to come out less than what I actually was working. Plus I get laid off through a text message how unprofessional is that??? Who does that?? A text message none the less but can’t return of show up when in need of chemicals to even clean a retail store. Got constant complaints about how my tags piled up dirty so much uhm within a month I believe it’s reasonable to have piled up dirty rags because the store is obviously getting clean. One week it would be a compliment and then a month of constant nit pick and harassment. The pay, nor hours or anything is not worth being with.

I've worked here for the last year, mostly because I was unemployed the previous three and desperately needed a job. It's good because it provides job experience, but the management is without a doubt the worst part of this company (at least in this state.) To start off when I went for the interview, I already had the job because the company only cares about filling its books with whoever, no background or drug  tests required. The pay that was agreed on didn't actually take effect until 5 months after I started working there (shorted by a dollar because they they will TRY to pull this if you aren't aware of it) It's really hard to get in touch with your supervisor, they check how many miles are on the machines each week but won't replace any broken machines even after you request they do multiple times in the same week. When you're waiting for your first check to come in the mail it takes ages but they insist it is not on their end, and when I tried to set up a direct deposit instead it took more than 3 weeks for them to even get in contact with me to get the information required for it. Also they insist you work 7 days a week, even double shifts on multiple days because it's very common for new people to quit after a couple days.

I was new to the field of cleaning and opened minded. Everything I wanted to change I was unable to because I had no support. The guy who was suppose to train me promise my job to someone else. She was my Field Supervisor and she didn't like that. I was over a large territory. Which I was ok with but didn't have access to all of it because I never go all my keys. Because the manager that was training me never got them. They don't even know what sub contractors are getting paid that month. If you don't have a good support team it won't work. Honestly my upper management team was not supportive. The training  there for the admin side was old video and had nothing to do with the new system they were using.They don't know how to talk to people.Things change people are different you can't talk trash to people and disrespect them. Here is another thing about the upper management in SC the Regional VP and District Manager get paid mileage, but give Area Manager's a truck. I think the my milking the company out of money for that mileage check. I have never seen a company who didn't give or offer the Regional VP and District Manager a company car. I Thank GOD for the experience because everything happens for a reason

I was a supervisor in the Indianapolis area. I never once met the district manager. In fact, I only met one other employee, who held the same title as me. Being a supervisor for this company was a joke. I supervised no one. Instead, I filled in at other locations, when people called off or quit. I was required to drive to Bloomington and Crawfordsville to clean, plus clean my regular route in Indy. Cleaning occurred overnight, and often times I wouldn't get in bed until 8 in the morning. Yet, my phone would begin ringing at 1 in the afternoon. If I did not get back with them right away, due to sleeping, I was talked down to. There is no local office for the company, which means no washer or dryer. All of their equipment is in storage units. I asked for clean cloths and mop heads continuously, without getting any. I used the same dirty cloths and mopheads for a month straight. I could go on and on, but you get the point. You can do better. If you are a bank reading this, go with a different cleaning company. Thank me later.

I have worked for Kimco Services for about 2.5 years. I love it here! I started with a temp service as an Administrative Assistant setting up a new client with about 600 locations. I was then hired on permanently as a Kimco employee as a Regional Administrative Assistant. After working at that position for about 6 months, I was offered a promotion to Regional Recruiter. I have been a Recruiter for about 2 years and love what I do. As you can see there is plenty of opportunity for advancement if you don't mind working hard. The management is very flexible and actually listens when I have any type of issue. We have had some issues in the last few months with the direction that upper management was leading us in, however we are back on track. We have recently gotten some really good new contracts and the future is looking very bright. I'm really looking forward to 2017 at Kimco Facility Services!!

I'm 60 years old and retired early from a good paying ,great benefits hospital job. I retired because I was so stressed out by the horrible, bullying lower management. This company is so relaxed and leaves you completely alone as long as you do a good job.I love to work nights and so far no complaints, no matter how late I go in. I still have young kids ,so that's important.  I don't take many days off,they seem to like that. When I do,they have no problem covering for me. Manager is good.  Probably overworked.  Never met her,but that's fine with me. Not necessary.  Supplies come in slow and not right a lot of times. Was thinking there was supposed to be some raises. Never saw any. But I'm not complaining till I'm here a year. If I got about 2 more hours a day,it would be perfect.  Pay was always on time and correct.  In this area of Illinois, it's a fair job. If you're good at working alone,I recommend this company

Typically a work day for me is, going in around the time that works best for me that day, I usually go in about an hour after the business is scheduled to close and working at my own pace to finish and move onto the next building. I have learned many things related to cleaning, different hacks and ways to do things. Depending on where you are located and who your manager/supervisor is determines how much you see them. I talk to my manager probably about once every two weeks or whenever I have a question of concern for them, I will reach out via text or call. I see them MAYBE once a month. The hardest part about this job is cleaning during the winter months. Also not having the correct equipment needed to do some of your job duties. The most enjoyable part is working by yourself, working at your own pace and the flexible schedule. 

Most unprofessional company I have worked for. Management is a joke. They talk behind your back to your co workers. They treat you like you’re worthless. I was supervisor and I did everything and anything for that company regardless of how I was treated. I have several mental illnesses that I take medicine for. I had to take a leave of absence. When I came back I got yelled at, got told I act like a victim and they are sick and tired of me and terminated me. I wish I could lay everything out. You wash the rags. You’re expected to basically take care of everything because the manager is lazy, narcissistic and selfish. She’ll do anything to throw you under the bus so she looks good. In my personal experience working for them for 2 years, I advise everyone to not apply, don’t work for them. These people almost ruined my life. So much that I have taken action and contacted  the EEOC of what happened to me.

Kimco expects you to be available to work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
They will have you put in a 17 hour day, and then blow up your phone while trying to get a few hours sleep. Too many times I was awake for 24 hours plus, expected to drive and clean, all hours of the night.
Management Lies pathologically. 
They blame a lack of employees on the democrats and unemployment compensation while offering a lower than industry average pay rate, and charging $300+ a month for health benefits.
I spent 2 weeks in a sleep deprived delirium, and it was never enough.
Ive never been treated so badly by a company. The other low wage workers try to support eachother, while being terribly over extended, while management buys new houses and rests quietly in their beds each night.
