Alsco Uniforms

Supply and demand environment, processing and suppling of hotel accommodation linen on a daily basis.
Monitoring KPIs on a daily basis. 
What you learn in this environment, is the answers to most of your questions are with employees, most employees have been in this environment for a very long time, and have seen changes both good and bad, cyphering their knowledge is a benefit to every new or existing manager.
The hardest part of the job is breakdowns of machinery, which could reflect on the bottom line through wages, KPI's, client deliveries etc
Completion of tasks in any area is always an enjoyable moment, as it reflects on making sure our customers are happy with both service and quality

Strong team of supervisors and management in the Edmonton branch. Helped make a person feel comfortable from day one. Co-workers were helpful for the most part and friendly enough. Lacked a sense of “team” amongst the drivers but my hunch is when management recognizes this is an issue or when it becomes one they will take action to help raise the team spirit. 

Only downfall was there appeared to be no accountability for the more senior drivers poor performance or blatant disrespect in one instance to the customers. 

Overall hard work but if your not a lazy person and like meeting people it will be worth a shot.

Typical day-Typical days include meetings ( my management team, customer service representative (drivers), branch management team meeting, customer contact telephone, face to face, email etc, problem resolution.
Customer relationship management and training of team.
Management-We had a strongly customer focused team.
Co-workers-Committed but requiring training and direction.
Hardest-Staff disciplinary action.
Most enjoyable-Staff development and awards for excellence.

Was great when I first started, but over the years, got worse.
Started as a driver, as business and customers increased, production couldn't keep up. 
I would start my run from home. When I first started, I'd have all my deliveries, but as time went on, and as customers increased (particularly when they took over a small company), production struggled to supply deliveries - often delivering shortages on my way home. Would have to go into the depot in the morning, and start my run late.
After having enough, transferred into production. Management had their favourite employees that they wouldn't discipline.
Production staff work hard, and supervisors get the credit.

Very fast pace workplace always enjoy my day by planning and organising for the next day.. Ive learned a lot about myself and how to control my department of 13 girls, the hardest part of the job is not having a full team when it comes in to a short week whilst try and meet your deadlines at the same time.. The most enjoyable part of the job is reaching your target and making your customers happy.
