MSNW Group, LLC

I work in the office from 8 am - 5 pm with an hour lunch break Monday through Friday.  The days fly by...I am never bored!!  The projects and tasks assigned by my supervisor make me feel valued and important to the company.  He is always willing to answer my questions, but definitely leans toward a hands-off learning approach.  I am encouraged to figure things out on my own and present my findings to him.  This gives me great pride in my work and makes me feel like I am truly contributing to the business.  My co-workers are like family.  Everyone is so close knit and always willing to help each other out.  The slogan at MSNW is "we'll take care of it", and I definitely see that modeled by my co-workers and the management everyday.  The hardest part of my job can be the sense of constant busyness...at times I can feel overwhelmed.  However I would much rather be busy than bored.  The most enjoyable part of my job is the positive environment.  At my past jobs there has almost always been gossiping, drama, or other kinds of negativity.  I really don't see any of that here.  In fact, I have not had issues with any of my co-workers or management.  I think that is rare and something to be valued!!  I also enjoy free lunches provided by the company at least twice a month, coffee and taco truck runs with my co-workers, and my supervisor's sarcasm. :)

What is the best part of working at the company?
I loved the crew and the pace that I was working the ability to work individually on sites and the ability to work with a crew it was very liberating and I never felt that there was too much responsibility for my assigned jobs. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I'd say the most stressful part about working at the company was coming to the end of the week we had specific sites that had deep cleans that were necessary to be done and that would put definitely put the pressure on so we were all very capable individuals of the jobs assigned and got things done well. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Well there was a lot of camaraderie when it came to the crew working we definitely were capable of setting any boundaries or speaking openly with the other team members and are site managers to be able to ensure a safe and efficient working environment. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day would be transportation to my specific site that I was assigned occasionally I would fill in at other locations if we were short-handed but usually unless it was a contracted location that had to be done with the time frame sneaking in on us then we had our individual job sites but pulled together well to make great use of any spare moment we did have.

I took this job for a guaranteed 40 hours a week which was emphasized over and over throughout my interview. Plus opportunities for overtime. I thought I had 4 hours to clean each floor, as I had an 8 hour shift and was responsible for two floors. Every week I was told I wasn't working fast enough and not getting done on time even though I was always finished at the 8 hour mark. Turns out either the lead wanted to go home early and couldn't leave before me or they had extra projects lined up (which should just go into overtime if employees wanted that opportunity) that they wanted done within the 8 hour shift. Some of the cleaners gave me a terrible headache even when I wore a face mask. In the few months that I've been there I was never able to hit 40 hours, never got overtime, and was constantly hounded on my "speed". I know I can be faster, sure, but I also know that the other employees cut corners in how they clean and never got reprimanded for it. I did everything by the book and it was never good enough. Also, I got trained by someone who was only there two weeks and then left, and the management wonders why I wasn't aware of half the things they wanted me to do. Maybe getting trained by a seasoned cleaner would be a good start.

I was hired to a lead cleaner position but 2 cleaners quit a week before I started and were never replaced so I just ended up being a cleaner. The schedule I was promissed was not what I ended up working. I left another job where I worked til midnight for this job so I could get off work earlier and I ended up working later than I had before. I was told that there would be an orientation and training. I got a computer slide show on why the company was great and then I was train on most of my locations by an employee who had already quit and didn't want to be there that night so ya things were a little glazed over.

The management is out of touch and does not communicate. You are always the last to find out info you need to do your job. My supervisor was so spread thin that I did not meet her for 5 months after I started, this was mostly due to the fact that the bulk of employees she supervised were 3+hours away. And when there was an issue I was told more times than not, " Oh so and so is on vacation so you will have to wait a couple weeks...."

I've been providing janitorial services through MSNW and I could not possibly ask for a better job. I feel SO accomplished, respected, and cared for with this company. This is my first position working as a Janitor and I plan to make a career out of it. Supervisors all the way up to payroll are very nice individuals with a sense of humanity. I've never been treated so humane and with so much respect in the workplace until accepting employment with MSNW. MSNW provides me with great pay, benefits, and flexible hours. Also, MSNW provides employees with potlucks and other community events which is a plus. Work less than a 10-minute drive from my house which makes it even more convenient. MSNW has SEVERAL locations throughout OR and WA making it flexible for anyone in the area to gain employment. This company does NOT discriminate against individuals with backgrounds or disabilities. Great way to stay in shape without straining your body. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I enjoyed working here very much and only left to pursue another opportunity, The family feel this company has is amazing and very rare, everyone says thier company is like a family but this one truly is, Led by an amazing woman this company had very humble beginnings but has grown into a multi state organization of truly talented and honest people Anyone who has a desire to work with some truly awesome people who know how to get things done not only in a timely manner but  go above and beyond for their clients on a daily basis from the CEO to the cleaners then this is company you want to work for..
You feel like a part of something much larger then yourself People here have a true Heart of service and it shows in the buildings they service. I regret my decision to leave this great company.as a operations supervisor here I enjoyed my partnership with this great company.

Overall
Tl;Dr: Dont work for these guys unless you absolutely have to

I only worked for them for a few months and at a remote couple of buildings they contract to clean. But my training from my supervisor was lack luster and completely non informative. I had to ask a client about various parts of the job on site. The written job descriptions were vague at best, and while the pay was good, it wasn't worth the stress they tried to put on you. Regarding pay, they went with a salary arrangement that paid for 9 hours a week rather than a normal hourly rate. There also was some weird politics going on way over my head between the people on site and higher ups at MSNW. I was lied to, reprimanded for things that weren't explained to me, and fired with no explanation.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Consistent work, they start at 7am

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Knowing that everyone is easily replaceable in the minds of the managers.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Unorganized, female preference preferred even with no experience in the field that they manage.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Having to piece together unorganized plans for projects which is suppose to be set by management.  Fixing daily unforseen problems which should have been considered and thought through by management. Having to report and listen to someone in management that has no clue on how to properly delegate work to complete the job on time, within budget and who has no experience in the construction trades.

Upper management pockets almost all the money they pay most people minimum and give themselves huge salaries, you won't even get money for supplies, very unsafe don't care about you as an individual just a number and if you speak up or say anything they will fire you are threaten you to shut you up, if management doesn't like you and they won't like you they will make up lies about you and have you fired , I received threats to be fired for no reason. They lay people off all the time for no reason, they will harass you and push you till you drop, then replace you, no vacation no sick time, lots of accidents on the jobsites, HR is the meanest cruelest people you ever meet in your life. Attitude that Management is superior and your trash. Only part time don't have any full time contracts. As a woman I feelt very uncomfortable always being harassed and treated less then.

Pocket most the money they get play favorites lie about everything not good people don't care about you at all. horrible management if you wo rk hard ty hey will take advantage. No advancement only if management favors you they tell you not to say how much you make because most people make minimum they will steal from your check and if you say anything they will fire you, they go through management and contracts like underwear. DONt WORK HERE, you are literally cattle to them while they sit and get rich off of you. They lay people off all the tine tgraaten to firs employees constantly to keep them in line could care less about your safety poor safety rating only scared of getting sued. They won't lift a finger for you,  lie about sick leave no vacation after 2 years, management is horrible they get paid basically to treat people like dogs.
