The Service Companies

I worked for the service companies for almost 3 years i started off as a regular Stewart and worked my way up to supervisor .i didn't have a consistent executive stewart during my time there with the role being changed at least three times while I was working there the way the chain of command works is there's an executive Stewart, assistant executive Stewart, a night shift manager, supervisor, lead and then regular worker.at working there started off real good the work was fairly good the pay was okay the night shift manager was a real rude person though and it was hard to talk to him or work with him after about eight or nine months I got promoted to lead and things became even harder with constant call outs my job became much harder because I would have to do my job then do the job of whoever wasn't at work that night or at least split it with someone else making my job a lot more harder and it only got worse when I became supervisor on top of having to supervise an entire crew I would have to do the work of  just about every individual that called out and it became very frustrating being on salary and spending so much time at work and not getting paid for it regular workers were making just as much as me with their overtime as I was as a supervisor and also they would fire and rehire the same bad workers over and over Again making it miserable for the good workers then they also contracted foreign workers that could barely or speak no English management sucked but the people I work with were cool and the chefs were cool in the Lake Charles location at L'Auberge

I have been working with the Service Companies as Task Force, I travel from Hotel to Hotel through out the U S, Every property has its issues, doesn't matter what hotel you work for, most people who put bad reviews on this company think the grass is greener on the other side, but within a couple of weeks of leaving they come crawling back hoping to get their jobs back, but I want to express that Housekeeping is Housekeeping wherever you go. Clean is Clean. If you don't have the passion for Housekeeping then it's not the job for you, it's a very demanding job with hard work. Doesn't matter what company you work for in Housekeeping it's a hard job, but if you learn to work smart and not hard your day will be very productive and fun. Those that give this company bad reviews are the ones that wanted just a paycheck. The Service Company is a fair and great place to work, Every Manager I have had the pleasure in meeting throughout my employment have been amazing, making sure that everyone has everything they need to get the job done. Management do everything they can to make all employees feel as ease, and to make your day fun and productive in a positive way. I am  extremely happy with is Company and can't see myself doing anything else. Remember Housekeeping is one of the hardest jobs in the  hospitality business. Thank you everyone I have come in contact with. If you have the passion give it a chance.

There’s a good chance management and the trainers will chase you out of there before your even finished with your training shifts .I had and orientation with about 6 people not one of them was left by the time I left and I was only there for three weeks.
They hire you to make money off of you they don’t take care of the employees or care about there we’ll being along with that they constantly up your work load throughout the day when you may or may not meet your quota to begin with. Also Management and the trainers will comepletly destroy your rooms and your full 8 hour shift worth of work just because they found something wrong with one room that really is fixable and doesn’t require a whole room to be redone so say you had 12 rooms that day and they found a problem towards the end of your shift with one you’d have to go back and re do all 12 after it took you a whole 8 hours to do so and they’ll destroy the room in order to ensure you re do it completely and then they’ll watch you like a hawk and offer up no help what’s so ever along with the trainers don’t show you how to do anything they just watch you clean all day and tell you what you’re doing wrong without providing and example. You’re set up to fail at this job not last don’t waste your time please. Also having to re do a room for whatever reason can result in “immediate termination “ so you’ll probably be fired too before your training is over.

Fast pace high workload environment with low pay an minimal employee appreciation. Each day was a full workload based on time credits. The housekeeping needed to complete a certain amount of credits based on time. my job as the supervisor was to ensure they were completing these tasks in a timely manner, an also to direct them to the appropriate rooms based on the needs of the guests an hotel. Ensuring the work was completed to a certain standard an training the workers on them to maintain the standards of the hotel. As a member of management it was our duty to ensure the rooms were completed to a certain standard based on the hotels standards an the priority of the customer flow. the hardest part of the job was making sure the rooms were ready to a certain standard before the guests checked in. There were many rooms in a high volume guest flow with as minimal staffing as possible. This caused a great deal work for us in management. The most enjoyable part of the job was the fast pace environment, constant communication between me the engineering department an the front desk coordinating to ensure all the guest rooms are ready for check-ins an up to standards.

Typical day at work since is housekeeping is always hectic, but everyone works together to get it done on time and have a very productive day. I've been working for the company for about 1 year and 3 months and I've learned a lot, from housekeeping, to laundry, to being Office Coordinator. All opportunities given to me I've used to the max to move forward with the company. The culture at work is very diverse since we have employees from lots of different parts of the world, and language is not a barrier cause everyone helps each other out in understanding. The management team is as diverse as our employees, but all take their leadership role very serious and I've also learned a lot from them during my time here. The entire team is amazing and I see employees wanting to move up as i did, and learn, and i think that's a part that makes it all worth it, seeing everyone work hard, learn and grow. I would not say there is a certain bad part of the job, but like any job there are bad days, but i very much enjoy working with the Service Companies and look forward to keep on working, learning and growing. No job is made easy, you just have to learn and be willing to go with the whole process and make yourself better, to be in a better position.

every kitchen I have been to in the last 2 years of temping as a Chef, I have learned so much from different styles of kitchen etiquette, to menus and ways of cooking and the California fusion is my forte because here in California we have the best of all foods cultures and styles.  
The hardest job for me was for the Safeway Fund Raiser at Treasure Island, there were over 300 chefs at 4 different Airplane hangers, serving 500 plates per hanger... I did 500 salads all had to come out at once and then we did the entrees and lastly the desserts. 
 
I feel blessed that I can communicate fluently in Spanish and in English, I'm usually the one translating in the kitchen. I enjoy feeding people, the happy faces I get to see most of the times, and when they smile and say "thank you that was deeelicious"  that has been the most gratifying part of my day. I switched careers because I needed to feel fulfilled with what I do every day and I have always loved to cook and create dishes that make people happy in their tummies.

um it was fine for holiday pay and easy applying. They just need more better management, lacks integrity and communication is terrible some will talk to you any type of way if you let them, everyone wants you to do every single last thing on the planet for them when its busy , women co workers,supervisors, managers are very confrontational to the point where anything can pop off verbally or physically at any given moment, your only paid for 7 hours 1hour unpaid lunch break and split your lunch time with 15mins then 45 mins later , when its slow its so slow and you must sweep crumbs in a corner or hide to look or act busy, co workers always talking about people ,never finish they work correctly and might blame you if they see you near. like this location is so terrible, your HR is a lady that comes and sit at the office workstation and questions everything you say ,like even trying to get a little simple benefit information could be like a 3rd degree with her. its a job and this job is more of a side job, temporary, or between jobs. This aint it long term. if you looking for experience then get in gain your experience and then leave. 1 good thing about this location is that its very easy to apply. although better if you know someone. Good luck and please protect your spirit.

I began working at The Service Companies in the summer of 2016.  In that time I've done more and have been trusted with greater responsibility than any other previously held position.  There is a culture built around trust and pushing people to achieve more than they knew they were capable of.  Because of this expectation of excellence, I would not recommend TSC to someone looking to get an easy paycheck without being willing to put in the effort.  Work hard and it will be a rewarding experience.

My supervisors have all been outstanding.  The structure and the culture makes it possible to easily communicate with all levels of leadership.  I have not seen the distance between the ranks that I've experienced with other companies.  They've recently placed a greater focus on employee engagement to further improve the culture and make every location the place to be.  

I leave everyday knowing that all of my efforts are recognized and appreciated, and because of that, I've found greater satisfaction with TSC than I've ever experienced elsewhere.  I'd recommend TSC to anyone who values opportunity and a commitment to excellence.

we will pick up our list of rooms, We have a quick 3 min meeting in the morning, get your room keys and start stocking your cart for the day. We clean 16 rooms in a 8 hr day. but once you subtract your lunch, and the time to properly stock your cart, you have about 7 hrs to clean 16 room. Most GRAs skip lunch just so they can make their daily quota. One of the hardest parts of this job is that, you are told to clean a room, then the Director will go though your room and have you go back and deep clean it, making it hard to make quota. There is a lot of favoritism. They will make you work mandatory over time pretty much all summer. (6 days a week). If you are sick, you will be pointed for calling off, even if you have a doctors note. there is a very high turn over rate because of management. You can sign up for a certain area, with certain days off, but don't make plans on your days off, because they will change the schedules at the last min. The service elevator are constantly out of order making it even harder to make your daily quota. Pay checks are constantly messed up or missing incentive pays. 
This place has really went down hill in the past year and a half. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
It's just a job. You clock in, clock out. The job varies day by day but all are pretty easy. If you show up, dress appropriately and simply do the job no one will bother you.Supervisors are friendly, the jobs not too demanding, the pay is okay and it comes on time. No complaints here.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Sometimes other co-workers can be problematic. Most are friendly, the others I simply avoid. Overall the job is great. Just don't talk about your personal stuff and no one will get the edge on you.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Most are very friendly. If you simply do the job and always look busy you will have no hassle. Everyone says hello for the most part, there's few gossipers and busybodies. We are all in it together.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Sometimes I have bathrooms,sometimes the floor. Bathrooms, everyone gets the idea. Clean, wipe, mop ,stock and move on. It can be a bit hectic when we are really busy, but not to the point of freaking out. Other days I have a section. I clean slot machines, sweep, vaccum, pick up trash, etc.
