Shawmut Services LLC

If you care about making a difference to set and lay groundwork for change then you are in the right place. This isn't the place to coast along and just collect a check, you will have to work and scale up your work as goals as crunchtime nears. This is made VERY transparent in the hiring process and something that is echoed VERY often (including myself to my fellow Associates).

Throughout many positions at Shawmut Services they have a great culture and encourage people to find improvements within systems and ways of doing things and if deemed efficient by management it WILL be set into motion even at an Associate level.

The most enjoyable part of the job was talking with like minded individuals on a hourly basis to either help them streamline day to day operations or just brighten up their day..

The hardest part of the job was pushing myself to the brink. I went in to 11 when I could have dialed it back to a 9.5 and still accomplished everything I needed and wanted within the company.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I love that they took care of the canvassers, paying us well & making sure we had all the supplies we would need for the job.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Walking alone in sometimes not so great areas where dogs are roaming free can be a little nerve-racking. Sometimes the weather can be unpredictable as well.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Everyone was very supportive and positive! It helped that we were all there to work for progressive causes.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
We met at base in the morning, collected all the materials & supplies we would need for the day, go over scripts & any changes, receive our territories, then head out.
All day we would keep in contact with base & each other regarding our territories & status. 
At the end of the day, we all met back at the base to turn in any unused supplies & clock out for the day. The leads always asked for feedback on territories & anything else that could affect the work. I left each day feeling good about the work done.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Excellent, smooth online hiring process. Accepted my work history and background with no questions asked. Made me motivated again to work for a company with such great integrity! I wished it wasn’t temporary.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not stressing but high demand to compete duties assigned for that day, however given the job description, it was very apparent what to expect.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
 Very diverse and eclectic group of individuals with same interests and desire to achieve a common goal.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Arrive at work, meet with my peers, get assignment with territory from leaders. Grab literature, water and snacks and be on my way! Staff always happy to see me, most days have a breakfast or lunch in am or pm upon completion. Staff always uplifting and supportive.

This place gives you a few hours of training then sends you out in the field that same day. That day doesn't count regardless how well/poorly you do. After that, the next day, you are expected to get the same numbers their seasoned employees do or they fire you, immediately. That night, 2 hours after the shift, no phone call, a text message. Their directors expect YOU to get right up in peoples' faces and be a go-getter while they don't even have enough respect or courage to even speak to you directly when they let you go, they just text you.
DO NOT work for these people, they play favorites giving them the less trodden areas and they stick the new people into the areas they and other canvasser companies have over-farmed and expect you to meet a quota that you have NO control over meeting. And when you don't meet their quota and they will fire you, right away, regardless of what numbers you have gotten in the past. You don't make it one day, you get the text.

Lower leadership changed very quickly while I was employed there, and it seemed like everyone who was put into leadership positions was very new to said position, which is not the problem; anyone can be taught this job; it just seems that the people above them did their job; it seems there was someone slacking somewhere. Schedules and promotions or even being approached about such seemed based on how many signatures you got during your shifts, but most locations are “test” locations, which means no one called and asked for permission, which then means you get very minimal signatures and thus are not even considered for anything but the bare minimum of shifts despite possibly having more job training than someone else. That’s what I mean by something lacking somewhere, but what do I know? I just worked there.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Not much.  They don't validate parking and the pay is less than other companies doing the same thing.  They used to have a decent incentive program that is no longer there.  There was no incentives at all this time around.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No stress.  They DO threaten to fire people that do to good though.  

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
They do NOT like communicating. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
They get paid good money and pay you chump change.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?

I believed that I wouldn't work for that organization no matter who lucrative the compensation was.Dealing with the management was the most difficult part of the job. And going home was absolutely the most enjoyable part of the work. To be clear I did work two (2) separate positions. The first was home/office based. The second was at their office in metro Philadelphia where a uncompassionate & uncontrolled manager ran a muck daily.

Calm environment, great managers. The Understanding that life happens, & things don’t always go as planned!!
