Employee Testimonials

Employee of the Month

Congratulations to our September Employee of the Month Stephen Palmer!  Stephen has worked for ESS Clean since 2020.  His managers say that Stephen always comes to work with a smile on his face and is always happy to be here.  He’s willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done and we can always count on him to do a great job.  Stephen recently celebrated the birth of a new baby!  We appreciate everything that you do for us!

“Great company to work for.  Leadership is very fair and easy to talk to.  They listen to concerns and needs so staff can perform their job to the best of their ability.”

Lilah Barlow

“I have worked with ESS Clean for over 15 years. I have really enjoyed working for them. I love being independent meaning not having someone looking over my shoulder as I work. This job has been flexible for me. If I needed to change my days, or a job, they have always allowed that to happen. The managers have all been great. They listen, and are very helpful. This job offers great benefits and will even help your kids go to school. ESS has been a joy to work for. I intend to stay as long as I can.”

Cherry Willis

“Everything is going really well actually.  Everything is exactly as expected and I’m pretty happy about that”

David Ortiz

Thank you for checking up…I love my place here at Rantoul Head Start!  I’m very happy here and I have no concerns at all.  Thank you for choosing me for this site!  I can truly say that ESS is the best company I have ever been employed with.

Glenna Bullard

“I appreciate my position with ESS clean. The location is convenient for me and it’s a good building to be working in. My day time job is stressful at times. Coming in to clean the bank is stress relieving for me. My doctor has even noted a decrease in my blood pressure since taking this position. I would not change a thing about my current job or conditions.”

David Martin

“Thanks for allowing me to work for such a great company”

Mike Powe

“It’s going well, got in to a nice little groove.  Going smooth for me!”

Michael McCray

I have only been with ESS Clean a few months but from the very start of my hiring process to training it has been easy.  My favorite part of working with ESS Clean is that the offices that I clean are close to my home and that my supervisor is just a phone call or text away.

Ann Hickman

I really enjoyed working for ESS Clean and the only reason I had to leave it due to needing to take care of a family member.  She stated that Ophilia was great and really loved Bob and misses him a lot.  “ESS Clean was very good to me” and I highly recommend!

Barbara Swing

I have had the opportunity to work for ESS Clean twice and it is a great company to work for.  My favorite part of working with ESS Clean is the flexibility and being able to work fairly independently.

Joel Langston

I have been working at ESS Clean for a little over three months and it is going very well.   I love working alone and at my own pace.

Weston Bitton

It has been an awesome experience working at ESS Clean.  Ophilia and Jason have made everything so easy for me to get started and learn my accounts.  My favorite part of working at ESS Clean has been meeting the people I work with.  Love the flexibility.

Cindy South

I have been with ESS Clean for about 5 months.  Onboarding, orientation, and on-the-job training went very smoothly.  The Area Manager, Ophilia, from the Danville area has been fantastic.  My favorite part of working for ESS Clean has been working alone.  It is so nice to be able to come to work and just get the job done.

Steven Maynard

“ESS is a top notch company”.  Bloomington division was so enjoyable to work for.  Kevin, April, Brian and Rich all treated me so well.  I loved the independence and laid back atmosphere.  It’s a company that I can recommend to friends and family without hesitation.

Bonnie Schlink

“I am on my 5th year with ESS.  I can honestly say I LOVE my job.  Sarah Dhom is a great leader and brings out the best in all of us.  The company is fantastic and everyone is like family.  She loves to hear the laughter from everyone. Thank you so very much for letting me be a part of your company.

Delores Stewart

“It has been one of my favorite work environments.  Laid back in demeanor, yet still very mission oriented.  The goal was clear, and I was welcomed to do things in new ways if I saw that it would help.  A clear and simple structured environment without feeling rigid.  I feel that this removed a lot of stress that can come with any position.”

James Pastore

I have been in the work force for over 35 years both full and part time and i can honestly say that ESS has treated me like family and takes care of their employees whether it be full or part time. I cant express my gratitude enough for all that you have done since being employed. I like doing what i do and will continue to do so even after my Hawaii trip next month.
Again i thank you for this opportunity.

Bryan Johnson

“ESS Clean Inc. is a great place to work whether it be primary or secondary employment. Positions are adaptable depending on your personal schedules. The hiring process is painless thanks to the amazing Onboarding Manager, Kim. Management is very credible and trustworthy.”

Linda R. Smith

Training and onboarding went really well.  My favorite part of working at ESS Clean has been my paycheck along with the flexibility of my hours.

Robin Cheesman

“One of the best jobs he has had”.  I really liked the independent work.  The only reason I had to leave is due to a change in my college schedule.  I recommend ESS Clean to all my college friends as a great way to help pay for food and housing while in school.
