Poor communication is number one. You have to talk to three different people all in one night. The best way to understand your job or what is happening is to call HR. Cameras and microphones are everywhere because you work in Government building's and even if we get in trouble we aren't aware of what was said or seen on the camera's or microphones. Which would be helpful to improve our work ethic.The company itself is fine, I believe that the supervisor you are employed under makes the most of it. People quit or are let go left and right but somehow are rehired. I feel as if we are treated like children more than we are ADULT employees. I really enjoy our building inspector and how he let's us know how and if we can improve our work. I feel as if we can be treated more like adults, communication is resolved, I would have reviewed this better. The company has pros and cons like all companies and I enjoy it most days but there are more cons than there are pros.

Nothing positive to say about this company other than the building clients/customers we were contracted to clean for (St. Joseph Hospital).. This company hires nothing more than incompetent "adults" (who act like children) for employees and management positions. The only true way to advance within this company is to completely brown-nose and suck-up your way to the top. They will overwork you to death for little to no incentive or compensation. Hiring practices are a joke, as they have hired thieves, drug addicts, etc., who have stolen from hospital staff and gotten caught (on camera).

I believe this company would be more successful in Brighton location and others around MI if they paid a bit (a lot) more attention to their hiring/screening practices, their training regimes upon hiring, and management fixes.

I started at the company at the beginning of November due to a long time off thanks to the beer bug. The hiring process was quick but I was given the honest truth as to what I was to do, a breakdown of my compensation, the layout of my tasks, the amount of security involved (at the facility I work at it makes 100% perfect sense). Even a social media background check was required. Nothing I objected too and the honesty and kindness I've been shown more than make up for any slight inconvenience if there were one. The job is welcoming and my fellow staff/the clients treat me with more respect than I've had at any previous jobs. They're good people and each day I look forward to coming in.


Working here is an incredibly laid-back experience, which makes it a breeze to get things done. The atmosphere is relaxed, and all the employees are not only nice but also supportive. Flexibility is a key feature of this workplace; they understand the importance of accommodating everyone's schedules and will make sure to fit in time for you, no matter what. One of the great things about this place is that you're largely in control of your tasks; you're not constantly micromanaged or have someone breathing down your neck. Instead, you're empowered to take charge and handle things on your own, which fosters a sense of independence and self-reliance. It's a refreshing change from more rigid work environments, and it allows you to truly own your work and make it your own.

A typical day will include doing the work for the person who works in your area on the previous shift. In other words, you will have to do work that wasn't completed by the previous shift, plus your work. You will have to do about 3 hours worth of work that should of been done before you get to work because the people aren't trained properly. Worst management that I have ever experienced in my many years of work experience. You will be putting yourselves in an unhealthy work environment. The hardest part of this job is having to work for a manager that only cares about himself. The most enjoyable part was the breaks and clocking out at the end of the shift. Does not pay enough to pay for health insurance, unless you live with your parents.

Personally I’ve been working for this company not too long but I’ve already feel like I’ve been working there for a long time because of the amount of work they give me and more opportunities to do more for them. The job I do is as simple as you want it to be and you there’s plenty more to do when you have the free time to do so. There’s always something to do when you’re working at either building you work at and you have great supervisors and crew to help you out and help them out as you go. For the new people who gets started at either building, it’s definitely worth it because there’s always something to do and it’s very flexible with your work schedule. I highly recommend working for them if you’re looking to stay busy!

You are given a routine schedule that is easy to follow. The work itself is simple and easy to do. Although it does require some physical labor, its not too difficult. If you are not a fan of dealing with customers or people in general, this is a good fit. You tend to work at your own pace within the time frame required to finish your daily task. It can be repetitive and boring at times. Being allowed to listen to music does help. But for what the job requires and for the pay, I would say it is better than most at that rate. Management at Saber are very helpful and friendly.

If you accept a supervisor position, be prepared to work your butt off. I loved my employees and my operation manager but the company as a whole needed a little more work in having more structure when i was working there. It's very hard to get a raise and if you do, it's not much and they will add more work onto you. In my position, if an employee didn't show up to work. The supervisor, area supervisor and operation manager would have to stay and do the work, instead of offering the current employees overtime. All in all it wasn't a terrible company to work for. BUT it was hard to be a great supervisor when you have to cover jobs for 80% of your day.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people I work with and relationships I've built over 7+ years

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There really isn't anything stressful about it, come in do what you have to do and get out of there.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It's great a mixture older and young employees who communicate and get along well.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
3p-12a doing various projects nightly, carpet cleaning, stripping, scrubbing & construction clean up sometimes.

I became an employee of Saber Building Services November 22, 2021. They offer many incentives whether you are part time or full time. As well as benefits and room for growth within the company. They are understanding of life changes and will work with you any way possible. You always feel apart of the team no matter if you’ve just started or been there for years. The lines of communication are always there across the board. This is an awesome company to work for. I would definitely recommend working for Saber Building Services.
