Good job; not exactly a career. - Cleaning Technician Utah Disaster Kleenup Employee Review

Pros
As has been stated in other reviews, there is a good amount of variety with this job. As a result, you get to learn a variety of skills that are useful both inside the industry as well as in maintaining your own home. The pay is good, especially if you are single and/or are willing to take on a great deal of overtime, which is available in abundance when we are busy. Most of the employees here are pleasant to be around most of the time, and know what they need to do and do it, most of the time. Overall, it is a very good job to have between schooling and an actual career.
Cons
Lack of clear, consistent communication as well as annoying "office politics" has been a big issue, and still is to some extent, though there have been improvements in that area. There seems to be very little upward mobility within the company, particularly if you are not a "squeaky wheel" type person who begs for recognition. Hard work and dependability don't seem to get you as far as making the right friends. The actions or mis-actions of a few employees has a far greater impact on EVERY employee than would be expected - for example, as in the severe reduction in bonuses given to everyone simply because a few were taking unfair advantage of the system. The work of a technician can be very hard on the body. Long hours of physically demanding labour can wear you out very quickly.

Pros
Every day there is something new is, we handle so many different types of property losses it is never boring. We work with a great team that really knows how to come together and accomplish a great deal. We help property owners in their time of need. It feels good to be able to help people when they experience a difficult situation. The finished product is also rewarding to see. We start with a burned, flooded or otherwise damaged property and by the time we are done it normally looks better than it every looked before. It is great to work for a company that is this size, we are large enough to handle jobs of any size, but small enough that our owners still know and care about their employees. We have good benefits and great co workers. It is a fun positive place to work .
Cons
There are no set business hours, disasters happen when they do, and sometimes the days can get long. Being on call is hard sometimes, but luckily the hard times aren't all that often.
