Good job bad company - Manager Alsco Uniforms Employee Review

First and foremost this is a dirty business. If Alsco was a reputable company this wouldn't be so bad. It's hard to find a reputable company in the dirty laundry business. However, there was a time when employees were proud to say they worked for Alsco and not one of the competitors. Not anymore. Alsco now does the same thing as every other dirty laundry company. It's sad and disappointing. The mentality these days is to do more with less. Do more work with less people, hire less competent people to do management roles. Overwork your team members so that you can get your bonuses and overinflated salaries but don't compensate them fairly. Take all of the credit for their achievements. Micromanagement is the norm these days. Managers that micromanage their teams are insecure in their own abilities to do a job. They have usually received a promotion for which they are unqualified. That happens a lot here. Hardworking employees are not valued at all. The people who fail at one job, are lazy liars and incompetent are promoted. People with no experience in an area, such as management or HR, are given promotions. It is a very toxic workplace. There are many managers that are negative, toxic, petty, and vindictive. A lot of management is in way over their heads in their current roles and is leading Alsco down a dark path. Their competitors are ready to take their business away from them since Alsco is no longer distinguishable as the exception rather than the rule in our industry. Alsco has become just like every other linen/uniform company with the same business practices. I hope the owners see what is happening soon. Things need to change. Alsco needs some experienced leadership in key roles such as sales, marketing, operations, and HR. For now, if you are a potential employee do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.
