TC Facilities Management

Well where do I start. This company suck you in with the promise of a set contract which seems very promising, telling you that the job is great and all the rest of the guff they come off with. theres loads I can tell about this disgrace of a company but ill just say this...if your looking for a job then DONT go anywhere near them unless you physically enjoy being bullied by the managers and supervisors. Your contract isn't the contract you think it is, you land up doing the hours they TELL you to do, even if you have plans on a particular day they expect you to drop your plans and go into work. Don't expect a day off over Christmas or new year or any other festivity period..... your asked to go in at silly o clock and clean chicken ovens getting covered in grease from the HEATED ovens that are still switched on. The managers and the supervisors are always complaining about the work carried out even though you've done your level best to clean whatever needs doing. Your expected to clean human excrement off toilets and walls after people coming in the previous night drunk and manage to defecate all over the cubicle (WHO EVEN DOES THAT)!! The person that gets the job of cleaning the PFS...I hope your very fast at cleaning because cleaning a petrol station in 4 hours is an absolute joke, 30 minutes to clean a whole shop, petrol forecourt, car wash, petrol pumps, and toilet/sink areas everyday lol I advise u to buy a superman cape...put your facebook account to private as the managers love nothing more than stalking you to see whats being said about them, oh and before u start work, check the carparks for prying eyes....and whatever you do don't use the word NO! unless you wanna be the next one in the dole queue, because they list every refusal you've said and use it against you.....DO however make sure u have a decent solicitor for when they sack u for a stupid reason like not answering your phone...there is also no incentives in this line of work so if you think your gonna get double pay or even time and half for working boxing day etc then forget it cos it aint happening.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I worked at TC Facilities Management for over four years as a Facilities Cleaner, performing a wide range of tasks including office cleaning, table and upholstery cleaning, window and glass cleaning, toilet maintenance, and waste handling. I gained strong experience in maintaining high hygiene standards, following health & safety procedures, and working efficiently across multiple duties.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part of my work was cleaning in busy areas where people were constantly moving around. It could make it difficult to complete tasks efficiently, but I learned to adapt by staying patient, planning my cleaning route carefully, and focusing on completing each task safely and thoroughly.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment at TC Facilities Management is fast-paced and structured, with clear cleaning schedules and health & safety standards. The culture encourages reliability and teamwork, and I found that colleagues were generally supportive. The role allows you to work independently while also being part of a team, which helps develop discipline and attention to detail.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day at TC Facilities Management involved arriving on site, checking the cleaning schedule, and prioritizing tasks for the day. I would clean and maintain offices, tables, toilets, windows, and other communal areas, as well as handle waste disposal. Some days were busier than others, especially when areas were in use, which required patience and careful planning to complete tasks efficiently. I also reported any maintenance issues or low supplies to the supervisor and ensured all work was completed to health and safety standards.

I started off as just a normal worker through hard work and going above the call of duty, I was given an opportunity to manage my own medium sized in 6 months. I learned a lot through this experience. As time went on I my confidence grew, I became more of a people person and a better understanding on how to get the best out of my team. I was surpassing our targets for 2 yrs before I was promoted to supervisor/ acting manager of one of the large stores.The most enjoyable part of the job was having a happy, strong team that worked like a well oiled machine, and meeting customers and other team workers, the best feeling I had ever was one of belonging and making a positive contribution to the company. 
I learned how to budget my store while still meeting targets and keeping high standards, how to deal with situations that arise.
I learned so much on people skills.
The hardest part of the job I guess like any is that days that it all goes wrong, last minute issues,m those are trying and sometimes very long days, but you get through it, especially if you are lucky enough to have a dedicated and selfless team that I was lucky to have and live to fight another day taking what you learned from that experience to conquer the next.
The most enjoyable of the job was waking up everyday to see my team and other members of the store and seeing what each day had for a challenge.

I have an Area Manager and Supervisor who are both Helpful, Supportive & Understanding. Like any workplace or Employer, things are not always perfect but i find discussing matters in a diplomatic way normally resolves any contentious issues and Trade Union Membership is available although I prefer to stand on my own 2 feet and try to resolve things in a diplomatic way.

Fast Paced and Busy but once you find your feet the job is actually okay and I enjoy this role. I am a Member of The Back Shift Team and They Are a Good Team. The Hardest Part of the Job is when you have to be in more than 1 place at the same time which is Scientifically Impossible so 1 task at a time and you do get there I find, most enjoyable part of the job is once you have found your feet it's a good feeling to have cracked the challenging role that it can be at times and the fact that there is a Good Team helps.

I have learned not to Stress Out so much  and remain Calm and Focused and the job then get's done okay, although to a newcomer it would be stressful initially. The Back Shift Supervisor is a Brilliant Lady and commands things well. Very Helpful, Understanding & Supportive Lady.

I've been underpaid nearly every payday. Left the company, still owed my pay for multiple shifts, which was said to be sorted and added onto the next pay, but nothing has come through, and my manager won't reply to my messages now, which proves the general professionalism that the company holds.

Apart from that, the job itself was the worst job I've ever worked. I was cleaning in morrisons, but got looked down upon by all of the staff, bullied by managers, pushed to achieve deadlines that just aren't physically possible, almost always understaffed. 

I was stressed going into work every day, the cleaning standard expected for the amount of time you work isn't realistic. No feedback from managers unless they're giving you a disciplinary, which is when they'll hit you with a massive list of all the things "you've done wrong", most of which aren't your fault (for example, I got a disciplinary for not cleaning a department, but the department was one that was assigned to another colleague for the night). 

Colleagues working the same job were lovely, and generally, other staff that weren't in managerial roles were always polite.

I would genuinely avoid this job, even if you're desperate, and wouldn't recommend working here to my worst enemy. Absolutely atrocious.

I went for an interview for the cleaner position at the DN11 amazon site and the cleaning area manager treated me like absolute dirt. I went for an interview about 6 months ago at the DN4 amazon site and got messed around by the manager their so I decided to take another job so I thought it’s a different site so I’d give them a second chance. Oh my was I wrong the area manager has a disgusting attitude and confronted me in the interview why I didn’t turn up at the other site about 6 months ago I explained that I did not just not turn up they messed me around so I got another job and I let them know I got another job and I said I don’t understand what that has to do with this interview and he walked out of the room came back a short while later and pretty much told me to leave. I have never in my life been treated this way and he should be absolutely ashamed of himself and the other manager who was also in the interview for letting him to speak to me the way he did. If this is what working at TC facilities is like I would highly recommend to stay away and find something else. So unprofessional and he came across quite aggressive and a seriously bad attitude. AVOID. 

Working under TCFM i can tell you it was a very poor choice for me to accept the position of ISM

they make out if the job is like any other management roll but this is certainly not the case.

Management from above are very poor at there positions and the only time they interact with you is when your site has failed an audit of %95 or below

there is no training no support no guidance its a serious H&S risk

To be perfectly truthful with you if you would like a job with TCFM then i suggest that you start your own company you would have a better chance of success.

They inform managers of stores to employee staff then 3 months later remove all but a few hours from your stores resulting in you having to remove all but a few staff member's making your weekly audits completely un-achievable. They don't care for peoples home lives or outside responsibility so if you have bills to pay again stay well clear.

all in all if your desperate for income this could well be your perfect job but don't expect it to last for more than a few months and be prepared for stress to rule your life.

At first it went well with standard hours and many duties to do. But then slowly, management started to change things around. Instead of taking the cages to the trailer for recycling, you’re basically leaving it for another person to take it and removing some of your duties to focus on sweeping the floors. This became the “focus” of the job which easily became incredibly boring and the fact that once you’re done sweeping, the manager demands you to do it again and again even if the floor is clean. You’re practically sweeping air at this point. 

Despite the fact that the company is working for Tesco, we do not get any benefits at all or get to go home early if there is no work. The staff are lazy and tend to call us to clean up a mess which wastes our time when the mess is very insignificant- a single strawberry. 

You get quite few people come and go which is to be expected. Overall, you will gain bit of experience but if you do not like being micromanaged and working on a single duty for 8 hour straight and being on your feet as well, then this job isn’t for you

At first the job was superb, working in a pair.. but then the pair got split and I had way too much work to handle, this was leading to jobs being missed and then complaints made against me also having to work areas I’m not familiar with and not completing my jobs for the day/week which then leads to a performance record. £8.25 for a job that requires you to work silly hours and undergo jetwash it poo and blood off a floor isn’t what I signed up for, especially when you have been there for nearly three years and then get told the new kid that has no experience in window cleaning is on £9 an hour and not the minimum that I was on. This went on for months and months till I eventually found myself another job. The job itself is fine if it’s just window cleaning in your area that you know, anythin more then it’s a minimum two person job. This job is more than the minimum wage because of the work that’s expected to be completed which again on your own is very tough and the company never too any notice even when speaking to them and emailing your concerns

I started as a Site Manager I left after a month. The site team were amazing. Shortly after starting started to see some major issues. 

Area & Ops Manager seemed to be very unaware of cleaning compliance and general health & Safety. Asking for jobs to be completed against the Risk Assessments guidance. The team were lacking correct uniform, machinery needed repairing some of it being broken for 2 years and mo rush to get it repaired. 

Team reported constant pay issues. I was doing the rotas and then finding the site was then short of cleaners and area Manager was taking people off and not advising this happened and the client was not being made aware. 

Unsafe practices putting the team in great risk of injury. Awful company to work for. Real concerns about the management structure and culture. 

The most enjoyable part was being with the team, the most stressful part was dealing with management I decided to leave as my concerns for breaches of health and safety were to much.
