SERVICEMASTER Employer Reviews

A typical day at work revolves around extensive use of advanced Excel (Access and SQL are also used in some cases) query and programming techniques where accuracy and hard work are paramount. Your ability to learn is seemingly limitless as long as one is willing to put in the work. Upper management at the writing of this is in a bit of flux. The hardest – more... part of the job is less than desirable amount of direction in general and a lack of appropriate compensation in some cases. The most enjoyable part of the job is the atmosphere and how rewarding the work can be when difficult tasks are accomplished. – less

made sure the customer was pleasant satisfied reliable had positive energy was very concerned whether they was happy

Your day is busy from start to finish. You will learn how to multi task even if you never thought you could.

I worked at night with one other person. dusting and vaccuming cleaning rest rooms . The management was very good. The hardest srt of the job was cleaning high places. working with my co-worker and doing a good job.

I applied for the job of termite helper, you just carry stuff from the truck to the job site and back, general clean up, general help .etc. I was called in for an 1 hour interview and told i would know something in two weeks. On the way home i got a call to come back in two days to go on a ride along, but what happened was that they told me to follow – more... the guy in my own truck useing my own gas. The job that the guy was doing had nothing to do with the job i had applied for, how is that going to show anything about the job of helper. On my first day they told me i had to go to school for own week, wear a suit and tie, for a helper? then the hole aspect of the job changed. They had sign my name on forms i agree to stuff i knew nothing about, and they started to double talk on everything. In my opinion they should also sell Kirbby Vaccums as they use the same pratice in when there are hiring. I was lucky in that i was offered another job that same day that i accepted. – less

I enjoy the job, its really laid back and not really stressful. The managers and supervisors are fun to work with. I am in charge of basic cleaning so its an easy job as well.

we worked hard and we got rewarded for doing so. Most days we just tore wet carpet up and carried the carpet up stairs.

Just the drag of coming to work and clocking in may turn you away but once your settled at your base then the pace picks up and you stay busy, which i love!

The company cares for it's employees. The staff typically addressed the problem quickly and helped make the customer happy.

I am absolutely floored by these positive reviews! Servicemaster was tge absolutely worst company that I had ever worked for. I can't believe that I stayed as long as I did.

My employers were all related, so if you had an issue with one, you could be sure that it would not be handled in an unbiased manner.

Pay was low, workload was absolutely unreasonable, – more... absolutely no benefits or incentives. For example, you were allowed 5 vacation days per year, no matter if you were there for 1 year or 20 years, all unpaid. Constant threats of termination over the most minute infractions, such as forgetting to clock in or not getting to work because of snow or ice storms.

I was always a dependable employee who always did my job well, but Servicemaster ground me down to the point that I absolutely not take another day of their threats and intimidating tactics.

Their turnover is so high that a lot of new hires work a matter of days before seeing the real score and then just stop showing up for work. Then the workload falls onto the rest of us while the management tries to lure in the next victim.

This is just a small example of what they are like.

My advice for anyone job hunting is to bypass this Co. and keep looking. You will never get anywhere with the backbreaking work, unreasonable demands, and low pay and no benefits. – less

work went by fast, i learned more things about neatness and cleanliness, for most part it was pretty easy and fun job

This was a great place to work as every day and many nights held challenges. Especially when dealing with people whom had just suffered a loss. When it was a home and it was 2AM it was especially hard to help people understand that we could and would do the proper job to make them whole. The most enjoyable part was when people could see their property – more... both contents and structure was back together better than when they left it. Every person we worked with was as dedicated as I was to completing a project on time and satisfying the customer – less

I liked my co-workers and the people I worked for and I loved what I did.

I love working at ServiceMaster. I am allowed to be creative, and that makes me feel important and motivated to sell more!

What I learned from working at ServiceMaster is basically how to nagociate and reason with all types of people and personalities. I also became very skilled with cross selling other products from other sister companies that's associated with Servicemaster. My supervisor is always willing to help and be open to any questions or suggestions. It's a very – more... friendly environment and I always get along with my fellow co workers. There is really no hard part about my job. I adapt to all changes very well. The most enjoyable part about my job is making a customer feel comfortable and at ease with the information I give and the product I sell. – less

A typical day in my last position as start-up specialist was to contact all of our new franchisees and establish their status in completing their training in operating a ServiceMaster franchise. I assisted them through their training until they had completed their Quality Vendor certification. First thing you learn is that there is no typical day. Your – more... hours are from 8am -5pm, but you were available 24/7-365 days a year. You learn to manage your time and assist the franchisees in managing their time and still be able to meet all of our deadlines. The most enjoyable part of my job was to meet people from all over the United States and after helping them through the training process succeed in becoming full functioning franchises. It is wonderful to see people succeed! At ServiceMaster Clean you work in a team environment and I was lucky to work with 6 teams across the US of business development managers, product managers, and the training department. I worked with the best teams in the country. Everyone performed their jobs and worked with the other team members to meet our goals and deadlines. I have to say it was a true team effort in every case. – less
