Ok place to work

Manager (Current Employee) – BC – 8 November 2018

Days are long and clients are never happy. Promises of training but unless its free it never happens. I had looked at numerous courses that would have been beneficial but they were never approved.

Upper management is constantly only worried about the bottom line.
No real benefits to speak of, the company says it can't make it work although there are options out there. It all comes down to dollars an cents for the board of directors and owners. A well thought out retirement plan with a decent wage would create long term worthwhile employees.

Workplace culture is as expected in the local office, fun group to work with. The regional office expects you to do your job, but no one really appreciates the people below their level, and if something goes wrong they are quick to judge and to lay blame.

You are looked at as not really knowing anything if you don't have a university education or fit into their perception of what you be like, dress like or act like. If you question things, you are looked at as a trouble maker.

You are supposed to get yearly reviews for raises but these never happen due to they refuse to provide raises, they are always looking to replace you with new blood which is cheaper.
Constantly told to watch spending while upper management flies in and out on seaplanes instead of using a more affordable means like BC Ferries.

The hardest part is to continually show up for work and try to be happy to be there all the while wondering what is going to go wrong today. and the amount of paperwork that is required with limited staffing to achieve this is more... incredible.

You can feel work tension at other offices and levels, I used to believe that this would be a place you could actually build a future with, but that is not so or true anymore. If you are not under the eyes of the head office, little is known about you and you won't move up the ladder so to speak. Bee Clean has over the years achieved an "old boys club" feel to it. less

Pros

Its a job and thankful to have one although constantly looking for something better.

Cons

Can be extremely demanding, frustrating and filled with last minute requests.

Beautiful Building...

Housekeeper/Cleaner (Former Employee) – Hinton, AB – 19 October 2018

The forestry campus is cool inside some of the areas and it's neat to have a workplace surrounded by the woods.

BUT! I was let go without notice and I was told " you're detail is awesome, the best even, if I could clone you..you'd fit more independent work..etc"
I looked at my sheet and it said the opposite.. poor performance.
I knew I was let go because I clashed with someone that passed their probation. They cut a lot of corners, and tattled all the time over any petty thing they could think of. (You may even know them)

During that time, I picked up after them, and chose not to be petty/ stoop to their level ..aka stir up more drama in the workplace.

After I was let go, I was told there were cleaning options very close to where I lived, but later only got one really far away option that only paid $600. a month...and then never heard from them again

like really? some people are single parents that have no one, no support, no subsidy..etc

Pros

scenery

Cons

management, co-workers, high turn over, inconsistent training and hours, minimum wage, everything really.

Toxic

Baggage Service Agent (Former Employee) – Ottawa, ON – 9 August 2018

The relationship between management and crew was toxic, to say the least.

Management would regularly lie to both the crew, and the higher ups about a given situation. Nor would management take responsibility for any mistakes they would make, and would do their best to scapegoat a member of the crew.

The union also did nothing for us. We had no steward for the majority of my time working there.

Cleaning

Parking Lot Attendant (Former Employee) – Winnipeg, MB – 26 July 2018

The most enjoyable part is finishing my everyday work, my obligation and responsibilities. The hardest part of the job is the same with other jobs, nothing is easy but the important thing is working and finishing the job with a high quality work.

This company is the worst company ever.

Janitor (Former Employee) – Nelson, BC – 12 July 2018

I worked for Bee Clean for 10 years, started off at 10 dollars an hour, ended at 15 dollars an hour, that's a 50 cent raise every year...only thing is sometimes I wouldn't receive a raise for 2 or more years without having to argue with my boss about it. They made us clean up used needles, blood, and other bodily fluids without proper training and safety supplies to the extent that I had to go to Worksafe BC on two occasions to report that I felt un-safe there. I was verbally assaulted and spit at from mental health people using the building and when I reported it was told that they were glad that it happened outside the building as opposed to inside as then they weren't liable. They do not care about their employees and will do anything to get out of paying you severance pay or having to pay overtime. I would go so fair as to say that it is better to be on Social Assistance then work for these people.

Pros

Nothing

Cons

Report this company to the Ministry of Labour

Maintenance Worker (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 28 June 2018

At the site I use to work at employees were working with hazardous chemicals without proper training or a WHMIS certificate when requested multiple times they still wouldn't receive training
Site supervisor kept work place label's where employees couldn't access them if needed most employees did not know where the work place labels were kept as they were kept in a room only the site supervisor could access and due to this issue many bottles were unlabled yet had chemicals being used in them
Management is not qualified for there position they hold
I could go on, best part about this job was leaving it

Pros

Nothing

Cons

Too many too list

fun

Janitor (Current Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 6 May 2018

8am - 4pm Monday to Friday with the ability to work weekends. Perform cleaning duties such as disinfect and stock kitchens and washrooms. Sweep and mop floors. Wash walls and dust and wipe down counters. Management was pretty good , always felt appreciated and employees were rewarded monthly for attendance and going above and beyond in there cleaning duties. Hardest part of the job was it could be physically demanding at times and very repetitive. Most enjoyable part of the job was the staff parties ( potlucks, Christmas celebrations) as well as the clients.
