My experience working at  was disappointing because of inconsistent communication and a lack of transparency.
During my employment, I was moved between departments multiple times with little notice or explanation. I was eventually transferred to construction after being told it was the only way to keep my job and that I would have a position once the construction project ended. When the project was over, I was terminated without warning or an explanation of why.
I also had medically excused absences supported by doctor's notes, but I never felt that my circumstances were handled with understanding or consistency.
After my termination, I was advised by my supervisor to apply for unemployment. However, I later discovered I was still listed on the company's payroll, which prevented me from filing for unemployment benefits until the situation was resolved. That experience added unnecessary stress during an already difficult time.
I appreciated some of my coworkers and supervisors, and the pay was steady while work was available. However, the frequent department changes, lack of communication, uncertainty about job security, and handling of my separation made this a frustrating place to work.
Pros: Friendly coworkers, steady pay when work is available.
Advice to Management: Communicate honestly with employees, provide clear explanations for major employment decisions, honor commitments whenever possible, and ensure payroll and termination paperwork are handled promptly and accurately.

I feel like this company doesn't want to hire great employees. Management is always more concerned with nonsense than working as a team. No one properly trains you if at all. If management wanted this company to thrive it would have been happened, but most positions go to who they want it to go to. Compared to other cleaning services this company pays pretty well, though it all is low pay, but you get what I mean. Seems like everything is put on the employee(s) to handle when it comes to the buildings you are task with doing. Management knows nothing and there's no structure, professionalism here. Everyone here pretty much lacks boundaries and say inappropriate things. Some go to great length to get you out of your position, just so the job can go to them or there's. We barely make any money, why add insult in the way you talk to people. Just a bunch affiliates who put each other down without little to no consequences. Be a better person not just a better boss.  

I’ve worked for Pritchard for only 2 years,I’ve been in the school district for 5 years now.My first year I had to fight for benefits,and 401 k ,overtime pay ..The second year I’m still fighting for raises,overtime pay and 401 k .I’m trying to decide whether I want to stay and advance since I’ve been fighting for a couple of years now,or leave and go with a company that I know is secured.I have to say that the company does work with us with me working another job and my appointments.Management works hard as well and works with us on snow removal and summer cleanup to get our schools ready for fall.I have Cigna now and I’ve had them for the last two years.The first year no dental or vision.But I added those benefits in September and I’ve used my benefits.We are cur renewing our local 11 union contract for July 2023.

This place has many flaws concerning their labor and management experience. The culture is awful. Managers work umteen hours a day with no comp time. Managers are stressed and inexperienced. Managers have no sense in how to manage employees and just do whatever they want.  No consistency in accountability at all. Huge downfalls in the past year which has sent people running out the door. Many executive leaders are rude and not approachable. If you want to spend over a $1k a month for family benefits then this is the place. Wait a year for 401k? Yep at Pritchard. Benefits at all levels are horrible. They take advantage of young management workers to work long hours and low pay.  Overall, a horrible place to work.

I hated working for this company they treated me but s t people are not nice each other When i quit i felt so much happier  10dollors is not worthit. Teachers and everybody look down at you because you have no education that you like your nothing and it's like really that sad everybody treats each other  bad and goes to the management  ratts each other other out like their grade. I hated waking up every morning working for this company.  a school district is where you want to be at least 25 to 30 an hour the $10 an honor being treated like s. t. I'd rather die than work here that's how much I hate it

I worked under union 32bj contract through Prichard
Serving at Moelis & Company  which I loved working for it. 
working for Moelis was a big challenge job for me,  I loved working for this company. every day I will come in  with a set goal to accomplished before the of the day.  dedicating all my time to  served with all the positive energy every single day, great work ambience hard working people, some great team management excellent  work performing in all events  we do as our duty.

I was brought on in March to clean schools. I didnt get the job until April. I bounced around to four different schools without a perminent spot. Different school suppose to pay different rates and i know i got cheated a couple times. The job varies ob what school you go to. Some school you workwith a team or you work alone with help sometimes. When i work alones its alot of work and i feel its not worth especially when i have to work passmy time and not get compensated for it. If your not bilingual i dont recommend this job. People are nice but working with a team commication is key.

Answered all incoming calls and email messages from 3 towers regarding maintenance and conference room schedules.  Coordinated all book fairs and company events. I learned to manage conference events. The co workers helped out at the beginning and explained the basic duties of the job. The hardest part was not trusting any worker, since when I came back from lunch I did not have a job any more.  The demoted my position, with out a previous warning, not even one. Most enjoyable part, Christmas, since we had the department dine out event with all the co-workers.

At my level i have to deliver the business in whole and some of the respondents to this survey are in my charge. That being said i take responsibility to provide a healthy, harmonious working environment.

In my opinion the culture is in a bit of flux but moving in the right direction. A challenge - There is a balance to be maintained for mission 2023 on certain levels while being able to create a long term career atmosphere for the work force. 

The best part of the job is success. That spectrum is wide ranging from landing new projects / to running our projects correctly / top & bottom lines flourish 7 the work force remains confident and committed

It's a job...that's about the only good thing I can say for this company. It is the most back woods, screwed up, unprofessional company I have ever worked for. The management might as well be non-existent because they are not involved with their workforce whatsoever! You will never meet them. You will only barely meet your supervisor, and that person will change to someone new in the blink of an eye. And never expect to get over 20 hrs a week, and there is NO room for advancement! But if you only need to work 3hrs a day then you'll be happy working for Pritchard.
