Mitie is good to work for if you have a good manager.

Touch point cleaner (Former Employee) - DWP Kings Heath - 29 January 2023

I worked for mitie limited for over 2 years as Touch Point Cleaner during covid. The work wasn't a hard job you had enough to do and I had a good manager. Which makes life much enjoyable and better.

Pros

Overtime

Cons

Cheap wages

Cleaner (part-time) (Former Employee) - Buxton, Derbyshire - 28 December 2022

Good pay. Cleaning is basic. Constant staff shortage. Expect to make your own way to work. Management/supervisors are not as supportive as you would expect.

Good place to work

Surgery Cleaner (Current Employee) - York, North Yorkshire - 30 November 2022

I currently clean a GP surgery for the company and have been there afew years now. The other cleaner I work with is really nice and we get along to do the job. Our manager has always paid us on time and if you do extra hours it is always added on. Ordering stock is very easy and has been delivered in a timely manner. The only down side is that I don't feel the wages are high enough as my job is minimum wage. Other than that the company offer benefits that other companies do not and we were given recognition for working through covid and given a extra day holiday to say thank you. I would recommend working for Mitie.

Pros

Benefits, good managers, nice team.

Cons

Wages need to exceed minimum wage

Non helpful management

Cleaning Operative (Former Employee) - Manchester - 8 October 2022

Horrible company to work for, wages always wrong, no help or support from management, a lot of friends and their family all work here and they seem to get anytime they want off, can come in early, go home early, can take the day off but still marked as done full shift and still get paid and the rest of us have to do their work. Very hard to get uniform and stock needed to do job properly

Pros

None

Cons

Long hours, messed up pay, unappreciated

Avoid at all costs

Cleaner (part-time) (Former Employee) - Drumchapel, Glasgow - 8 September 2022

If you want to be treated like dirt, threatened constantly, over worked and underpaid this is the place to be however no one has any idea what is supposed to be done. The supervisor sits on a machine for the entire shift whilst you are left to run about doing all the work!

Stressful

Cleaning Operative (Former Employee) - Rugeley - 29 July 2022

Long 12-hour shifts, all payments are incorrect; either the monthly wage or holiday entitlement.There is no support from upper management, there is no family work balance, and after a 12-hour shift with multiple jobs, all you can do is shower, sleep, and return to work the next day.There are many issues between coworkers, and the volume of work is distributed based on how well you get along with the supervisor.Take the job only if it is absolutely necessary; otherwise, mental health and psychical issues will be a constant presence in your life.

Don't do it!

Cleaner (part-time) (Former Employee) - Leeds, West Yorkshire - 27 July 2022

Absolutely shocking line managers, can't get in touch with them at all. Leave you with no cleaning equipment and yet still expect the place to be kept up to standards. Expected to do the job of 2 people in the same time and with the same pay and keep the same standard. Absolutely shocking
