OpenWorks

Worst experience I have had. Typical day at work - it is just a calling center environment. Calling every company in the area to set up an appointment to sell janitorial services. At first I thought there was great potential, because everybody needs janitorial services, but then I found out that it is like trying to sell insurance. Everybody has it so no one wants to talk to you. Janitorial services is the last thing in the priority list for other companies, and they always look for the cheapest option. Also, it is a company with big problems of turn over rates for employees. So really every person is disposable.
They say that it is all about relationship building, but it is very hypocritical because managers and other employees dont even make an effort to build a relationship with their own people. Also, as an Account Executive, once you are able to get a contract, the the account gets transfer to an Account Manager person so after all the effort you will go back to square one and make phone calls. So again, as an Account Executive you do not really develop relationships with potential customers.

My experience with OpenWorks has been very positive. I came in with little outside sales experience and both the management team and the more tenured salespeople have been excellent resources in helping me get up to speed quickly and have proved repeatedly through their actions that they are personally invested in my success. All levels of management are straightforward and clearly communicate all expectations including performance, KPIs, and most importantly - attitude. The management team has built a very competitive and collaborative culture with a central theme around teamwork. Overall I have really enjoyed beginning my career at OpenWorks and look forward to helping this company grow and succeed in the future.

Culture is terrible. Tons of turnover, even at the top. No training or onboarding for any new hires, regardless of the role. Company communication does no not exist.  There were two out of around twenty two sales people that hit goal last year and the others missed by an Alabama mile. Do you think pricing your service correctly is important? Nope, not here. It's blindfold darts after ten spins with your head on a bat..There is such thing of "selling on value" but when you 2x or 3x the competition, you're laughed out of sales proposals and the credibility it took you time to build, comes crumbling down like a vegas hotel implode.  Anywho, hope this helps.....

What is the best part of working at the company?
The company culture and core values.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
When prospective customers stop communicating.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
We have a great family culture and collaborate often to work as a team.  There are great benefits and pay along with quarterly  and annual award bonuses and trips.  I have been on our President's Club trip two times at all inclusive resorts.  They schedule fun activities as a group along with time to relax and enjoy great food.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Working from home, calling and visiting prospective customers and negotiating contracts.  Team collaboration and training.

sorting customer tags  checking the quality,print and data effectiveness learned about the grocery business and price efficiency and management was very effective in finding better ways to do the job and serve customer to the highest level. coworker were the best assisted everyone in all areas to get the max production each every shift also dependable. learning the print and the different patterns of every customer. The company would set daily,weekly and monthly goals with great benefits if the goal was meet.

I've worked at many different janitorial companies, and understand the hours can be a little crazy, but this company ranked in the top 2 worst for work/life balance. Upper level management would attend meetings while they were on vacation and everyone would joke as if it was funny. No concept of work/life balance at all. Upper level management not trustworthy and have little to no experience in the field. It's your typical climb on the backs of others to get to the top and do anything to stay there. 

my day at work would start early in the morning cleaning managers offices Create a courteous friendly, professional, work environment through open line of communication. The hardest part of the job was working with men in the facility and Accept and Learning From Criticism. but at the end of the day the facility will be clean and neat and well stocked in the designated areas.
.

This company has hired and fired 7-10 employess in less than 6 months without cause. Management blames employess for their mis-managing, then fires them using them as a scapegoat. Current mangement locally is non existent, no training is offerered, and RSM works 9-4:30. Why the corporate office does not investigate is obvious, they are waiting for his contacts to come through on Sky Harbor Airport, which will not happen. Do not put yourself at risk with these people until this one is removed! Your efforts will be futileand a waste of your time.

This company has a awesome vision for the future and invests in the employees to acheive those goals.  It has a great culture around the office and in meetings which has employees feeling great about the work and enviroment.  Great management that let's everyone voice opionions and suggestions without any issues.  All ideas from any employee can be implemented if they think it will benefit the company.  Your voice is always heard and listened to, just an all around great place to work.

Since I've been employed with OpenWorks my experience has been by far a wonderful one.
For the first time I'm in a janitorial company that truly cares, not only for each and every one of there clients but makes their employees feel appreciated and recognized.
The company is very well organized and continues to develop and grow their methods as well as helping their employees reach new goals!
