Challenging
Cluster Manager (Current Employee), Wales and west – November 8, 2012
Pros: working from home on occasion
Cons: long hours weekends
A typical day would include meeting clients and staff and supporting, offering solutions to problems, Audits, dealing with payrol quiries and staffing issues, employment, wage input and Budget reporting.
I find it enjoyable improving standards, seeing the results and making the client happy with the improvements

Positive person, positve role
Soft service FM manager (Current Employee), Taunton – October 17, 2012
Pros: great company support
Cons: pay could be better
My day starts with checking emails and dealing with any HR/client issues that might have arisen since I left site the day before.
I then walkabout the site several times of the day to check the welfare of the team and see key people around site.
There are audits that I carry out of which all get recorded along with health and safety issues including – more... accidents etc.
Since I have been here, I have learnt a lot over the 4 years of which has helped me a lot to carry out my role better.
I have also completed several different course of which has assisted in making me a better manager to be able to do my job better.
Although like all people, even the bad days have been good as I feel that you still learn when you make mistakes or when things are negative rather then positive. – less

Productive and Laid back
Cleaning (Current Employee), Pontypridd – August 20, 2012
Pros: free tea and coffee
Cons: the hours, can't do much with my day as hours are 4-7
A typical day at work i would go in at 4 oclock, get all my cleaning essentials e.g mop and bucket then head over to start the furtherst side first and work my way across. I do this with one of my co-workers as it makes the time go faster and work more enjoyable.
