KleenMark

At first it starts out feeling like a decent job, but over a short amount of time you realize that is far from the case.

Upper management is completely disconnected with the workload amount necessary to do what they expect and within the given time frame while also being understaffed yet still expecting employees to get all the work done and with perfection. 
Having a part-time team come in for a couple hours to help doesn't cut it when you're needing a two full shifters amount of work to be done. You need to hire enough PERMANENT staff if you want the utmost **perfection** in cleaning and detailing. Also pay more.

Expecting one person to do a two-person job (which includes cleaning & detailing) is completely unreasonable.

If you work here expect the following:
- Being told about customer complaints every single day (sometimes as a treat every other day) which varies from things you may have actually missed, to things you know for sure you actually did, and tasks you weren't able to get to because of a lack of time or some other event that caused you to be unable to do the task. (ex. locked door to a room - person from room complains room wasn't cleaned) 
The workload varies from day to day based on the activity/trash in the building. (management doesn't factor this into consideration- expect complaints regardless of what you do)

- Supplies not being stocked on time/ yes you will still be expected to do the job the way they want you to without the given supplies.

- Monitoring. You will be watched and judged on cameras 24/7. If they *feel* you are wasting time or doing something they don't like, they will tell you, because they're always watching and monitoring what the employees are doing. 
Just a general very uncomfortable feeling of being monitored (because you are, constantly) 
Feels like an invasion of privacy but legally it isn't, of course.

- Lack of detailed explanation of how to do certain tasks. Instead you will be told you're doing something wrong when you aren't doing something you were never shown or told to do.
- Constant adding of various tasks to your routine with no adding of pay.
- Grossly cheap pay considering the perfection/detail of work that is expected.
- Told no phones or music allowed.. what kind of cleaning company doesn't let their cleaners listen to music? 
Surely not a company that is viewing their employees as human beings doing a job where listening to music isn't hurting anyone or affecting performance/profits.
- Understaffing/High Turnover. You will be understaffed and yes you will be expected to do your job without the amount of employees necessary.

- Pay every other week. 
I ended up working for THREE WEEKS before i got my first paycheck. 

- Not allowed to have a badge on you off work property. 
You can get to work 10mins early and it won't matter if the acting supervisor decides to show up late or just whenever they feel like it. You will be waiting at the doors for them to show up and badge you in to the rooms you need to get in to to get all of your supplies to start doing your job.

There's more cons, but it boils down to the company is asking for way too much work (in too short amount of time), while the pay doesn't even come close to reflecting the amount of work you are required to do and the endless complaints you will get regardless of whether you're doing the job right or not. People will *always* find something to complain about. 
It's just not worth it. 

Pros - Cool Coworkers, that's it.

Like any other job you will be expected to do what you were hired for, so if you are one that is basically lazy and looks for excuses to does little as possible then maybe this job isnt for you. If you dont have cleaning in your blood and you dont really enjoy it then this job is probably not one you will enjoy. I have been cleaning for 35 years and KleenMark in my opinion a very good place to work. There isnt alot of pressure from anybody, just show up on time to work and do your job. The supervisor and my co workers are very friendly and have been nothing but helpful and nice to me. I am grateful for the opportunity to work for this great company. I feel like i belong here and i am hoping that i will be working here for a very long time. Thank you KleenMark for hiring me. I am very happy to be a part of KleenMark.

I am in charge of cleaning the main offices along with the shop floor. A typical day includes dusting, vacuuming, mopping, wiping down all areas in the office, and taking out garbage. Management at Kleenmark is not the best, they don't like to keep a good uptake on the supplies needed to do my job. They also aren't very good at communicating with me. My coworkers are basically the people that work for the factory I clean. I love the people that surround me at work. Everyone is very friendly and accepting. It also helps when ur doing a very good job at cleaning and they are very appreciative. There really isn't a hard part of my job at all. Everything is pretty easy until i have to empty trash from the machines and its full of lazer dust. For some reason that stuff just doesn't agree with me and usually ends up busting all over me. The most enjoyable part of my job is almost everything about it, I love the people I work around and the daily tasks are not difficult at all.

’ve had a positive experience working at KleenMark. The company is well-organized and committed to providing a clean and safe environment for clients, and they carry that same commitment over to how they treat their employees. Management is approachable, responsive, and genuinely cares about team members' well-being and success. Training was thorough, and I always felt supported in my role.

There are clear expectations, and the work is steady, which I appreciated. Scheduling was flexible when needed, and the company respects work-life balance. It’s also rewarding to know the work we do is appreciated by clients and makes a real difference in their spaces.

Overall, KleenMark is a great place to work if you’re dependable, detail-oriented, and take pride in what you do. I’ve gained valuable experience and would recommend the company to others looking for stable, respectful employment in the janitorial field.



I went to work every day on time and did my part perfectly as was said by the boss. I walked about 8 miles a night there and another 8 back everyday for 6 days a week, never called in or complained about the meth head manager that just sits around and watched me cleaned as she was supposed to be training and cleaning, I ended up putting in alot of work for that place to get fired out of nowhere for no reason and not even a notice, I was without work with a family, this place is the most rude and inconsiderate place i know, anyone higher up than you wont give you second glance at all and act completely above you in an unprofessional way. I loved the idea of working for them, show up and clean the office building myself was nice. But the fact that no one sat with me and gave me a warning on whatever I did wrong or didn't even tell me is unprofessional and weak minded. Just know if you work here you will be putting in about 2 times the effort for only 1 times the payback

When I worked it was basically perfect for me at the time because my job was just to clean all the restrooms and lounge areas in the office building  I was assigned at and mop the floors. Didn’t have to interact with any people. Worked about 4-5 hours 5 days out of the week, no weekends. I just put my earbuds on and did my job. Only downside was that the pay was really low. I think at the time I was paid like $9/HR. So when it came to payday my check was sad. Who knows maybe it’s different now. This was back in 2018 for me. They could probably pay more now. But I eventually left because of the super low pay. I sometimes think about going back for it as a side gig for extra cash. 

When I first started the job was pretty good. My supervisor was great ablout working along side us and the while the job was fast paced it didn't feel rushed. After a few months we were informed that they were eliminating the supervisor posistion and cutting hours. What they didnt tell me was that it was effective imediately. It felt really sketchy. Within a few weeks the clinic I worked in had the main manager on site and was watchihng me do my job over my shoulder, the next week the manager was there telling all of us to hurry and try to do the job 1 hour faster. It lead to a lot of cutting corners and a loss of job standards. It was also very invasive to have upper management watching everyone work and trying to push everyone beyond what was normal.

Contact people at accounts writing negative comments in the communication book. Trying to resolve issues with Kleenmark and Supervisor. Blame it on the cleaner! Having the Police come to to your account because you were never shown how to arm and unarm a building properly. Not over the phone show me in person. That happened twice at a Bank in Oshkosh and once at a building downtown. Thanks Kleenmark! Im sure that made me and Kleenmark look good. The account could care less about you, what happened to cause a problem, or why. If you had a family emergency and left the account as is and notified your supervisor you would most likely be replaced real soon. He said well if it was me I would have done this. Who cares what you would have done!! Unfriggin real

A typical day starts by getting certain jobs done before the store opened. I learned that by working together, the job is easier for all of us. I know that when people enjoy what they’re doing and helping each other the environment is great. Management was great and very enjoyable to work for. The hardest part was training people with no motivation and take shortcuts in makes it harder on the rest of us. The most enjoyable part was, seeing the reward at the end of the day when my job is done right, also the great team I was on.

I worked here just short of one year, first cleaning one bank, then one bank and one non-bank site, and then finally two banks.  My supervisor was absolutely wonderful.  She is a very good trainer, she afforded me great autonomy (I believe because I was doing a good job) and she was always timely and responsive whenever I needed anything (work questions, supplies, phone calls).  I do not have one bad word to say about this company.  I think they are wonderful and know how to treat their employees and also back their employees.  As an example, I was having issues at the non-bank site, and my supervisor stepped right in and had my back and supported me 100%.
