Pros

-401k match up to 4% when the employee contributes 5%. -Pay was satisfactory. -My position had a flexible schedule. -Some positions are able to work from home. -Some great people work here. -My immediate team included some of the kindest and most enjoyable people I have ever encountered. -Insurance offerings were subpar, but improving. -A full time Human Resources Director was just brought on recently and that has created some positive change in the atmosphere and culture.

Cons

-The CEO micro-manages every aspect of this company. You will have very little input and very little freedom to perform the work you were hired to do. Yes men are the best men here. -Communication between all members of the institution was poor, but improving. -Consistency was lacking. Processes were changed day-to-day and management occasionally did not follow their own dress code, which was not setting a good example for employees. -New employees were started with zero to two weeks of PTO and could only accrue three at the very most. -I was personally told by my supervisor that I was never allowed to take a full week of vacation again (after I did it once) and they recommended I take Thursday and Friday off to make a long weekend instead. -I brought my concerns about my workload (which I felt was excessive) to my supervisor on at least four occasions and was met with: “Work harder.” “Work overtime.” “We’ll look into it.” (Nothing came of this statement) “You don’t actually work 40 hours.” (Suggesting I did not work 40 hours a week because I took full advantage of the two paid ten-minute breaks per day that are offered to office staff). I typically worked 42 - 45 hours each week. -I genuinely had concern about the amount of hours technicians were expected to work. It was fairly common for technicians to work 60+ hours in a seven day cycle. -Criticsm of any kind is met with hostility, even if it is presented in a polite manner. -Turnover is awful. As of my leave I was the fifteenth most tenured person there, out of roughly fifty employees, with just under two years of employment. -Upward movement and promotion opportunities are virtually non-existent.

Many stretches of the truth are stated here, many. Let me start by saying that I apologize that it didn't work out for you here at Service Professor. The supervisor in question also holds his people to the highest of standards and I also apologize that you two were not aligned in the same vision of where your performance needed to be. What is missing in the above review are the actions and lack of performance facilitated by the employee. These have been rectified with the replacement of this position. Not every company is for every employee and not every employee is for every company. We always take feedback, positive or negative, and improve SP and our culture, this review will be treated no differently. I am absolutely positive you will find the right fit and will be overly successful. You will do great. -Brad, President.

Pros

Pros—the only pro, is that the majority of office staff and technicians are great people to work with, and the dogs make your day.

Cons

Where do I begin...Management is beyond unprofessional, dysfunctional and have no grasp on how to manage/treat/oversee office staff or technicians. Communication is almost nonexistent and accountability by Managers IS nonexistent. Wages are low with office staff and yet they expect them to deal with being overloaded with work instead of hiring adequate staff for all departments. If you are making them money, then they take care of you, not realizing that without support staff doing all the behind the scenes work, they wouldn’t be making money. Managers tend to yell/overreact to situations instead of discuss them and usually swear at you and customers instead of approaching a situation with the attitude of ‘how can we make this situation right?’. They put on a good show when you come in to interview, and wrap the package with a free salad bar and in house gym, but in reality it is nothing but rot and decay. They tend to throw company parties, costing ridiculous amounts, to give you a free T-shirt and meal. The money would most likely be better spent giving raises to the office staff and technicians. They are big on preaching to be “Hungry, Humble and Smart”, yet the owners are anything but humble. This is based on a business book they make everyone read, yet they act entitled to treat workers like only their life-work balance matters. Also, clean your car before you interview, they have someone check to see if it is clean or not—Apparently this is the deciding factor of what kind of person you are (bizarre).

Let me start by saying that I apologize that it didn't work out for you here at Service Professor. There are a few inaccuracies in your review but many truths. We absolutely hold our team to the highest of standards as we continue to grow and become the service company of choice in West Michigan. We absolutely give back to all of our employees and their families in the form of parties, dog friendly environment, praise and bonus'. Perhaps this isn't for everyone but our employee surveys scream to us not to stop doing these act of appreciation, so we will not. The manager in question also holds her people to the highest of standards and I also apologize that you two were not aligned in the same vision of where your performance needed to be. Not every company is for every employee and not every employee is for every company. I however am absolutely positive you will find the right fit and will be overly successful. We wish this for you. -Brad, President.

Good at first

Pros

Some good people. Uniformity as far as presentation goes.

Cons

Worst pay scale. You get paid hourly at first, then only get paid if you sell a "lead" that they got. Shady side deals just to get future work, and subpar training. If you have a bad couple of days at work, you could lose a lot more than just money. More people quit then want to work there, and you have a year non compete.
