Woodley Building Maintenance

In a typical day at WBM i clock in, grab my equipment and I.D badge, then I vacuum 6 floors with a 45 minute break in between before clock out for the day. What I've learned doing this job is that no matter how easy a job seems or sounds, each job has it's  own difficulties and the job is only as good or easy as the people you work with.

The Management could use some improvement is a understatement here. There are 1 or 2 or maybe even possibly 3 people here who could learn how to treat people  and not test people on their wiliness and worthiness to stay at the job. The crown center building itself needs work from the air filters to the carpet to the utilities of the building, you can see that certain things haven't been done in a long time.

     The first hardest part of this job is actually the people that work here weather it's WBM staff or the people who work in the building sometimes deliberately making a small mess just to see if your working or not.  The second hardest part of this job is working the events. The way the events are handled by WBM could be a lot better, people should show they care about their employees. There should be a limit  of how long to be out in increasing to extreme temperatures or just having a different group handling them all together at different venue.

The most enjoyable part of  this job is how quick the day goes by, from the time I clock in to the time I leave it feels like a short day sometimes.

The work was easy and I was able to move up quickly through the company. The customers were easy to get along with. I learned that working hard can pay off, I learned how to manage my time and become more efficient with my work habits to make me a better supervisor, I also learned that if you work hard for the people that you work with, they will work hard for you. Working with a team is better than working sepparately on different projects. I also learned management is harder than it looks, an organization is key to managing any company as well as working together with your team, letting them know that they are important and a valuable part of what keeps the company going. I believe that the hardest part of any job is to maitain a respectable approach in difficult situations that may arrise in a working invironment such as disputes between co-workers. The most enjoyable part of the job is knowing that your customers appreciate the job that you have done and that you and your customers can find a friendly and respectable way to enjoy each others company.

I really enjoyed working for this company! I had an amazing supervisor who is very passionate about her work, the people in her environment and is very gifted. She knows what she is doing she kept us on our toes. High compliments from the staff when they see their building looking better than before. Not everyone supervisor is going to be the same and as dedicated to their jobs. Also caution when working with as a team because as with any job you might be working with someone who does not like doing their job. My advice is get it done and document if you need to so it does not reflect on you or your performance.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing because they are to political and take one person side

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The supervisors and the hostile work environment and they play favoritism 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very hostile work environment and favoritism is played and they don't care if you lose your home and they only want certain employees in the workplace with them.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Supervisor over your back complaining about everything you do and not showing u what to do

If you provide quality work and follow the customer requirements and company policies, it is recognized. If you call in sick regularly, don't complete your work regularly, approach your work with a negative attitude then you won't be able to advance to a better position.

The company always has opportunities for advancement or relocation to a better fit. Many employees have been around upwards of 10 years. There is also a long list of customers that have stayed with Woodley for decades. There is a reason for both.

Typical day at greeting people in a cooperate atmosphere, cleaning was our goal. No matter how simple the job you are still very important to someone. Management very supportive of their employees. Co-workers and I we were like family, sure we came from different backgrounds but once we come together we were like family. The hardest part of this job was leaving. I relocated to the Southaven area.
I enjoyed my work.

From my experience, they could care less about your life outside of work. No matter what is going on with you, Be there to clean that building!!! (All about the mighty dollar). Also, seemed to me like no matter how good you are at your job, if you dnt "know" someone, any chance for advancement is slim to none. One month at a different janitorial company (who i wont name), one who appreciated a hard worker, i was offered a management position. 
    Just saying.

Even after working with WBM for over a year, I was never fully trained to completely perform my job, and had no resources when working to find out instructional information other than a phone to call management at another location. Other than my initial training which lasted less than three days, there was no guaranteed management employees to go to. Most workdays consisted of no management.

It was sometimes very difficult to reach management concerning personal problems or problems with the customer.  At times management would not meet appointed times with the customer, which would cause stress and ill-feelings.  I did make my self available to the client if my supervisor did not show up, but that was not sufficient since my help was limited and I did not have the authority to authorize the necessary actions to take care of the problem.

Working for Woodley was very enjoyable. With the evening schedule I could get day time tasks out of the way before heading to work.
I loved working by myself, getting tasks done at my own pace.
It was not enjoyable having to wait almost 8 months for a badge to get into the buildings, when finally got one it did not work properly with the hours scheduled. Poor communication with supervisors, got screwed out of wages, and let go because of their failed badges.
