My company does cvs and walgreens but we get a lot of calls from them through cbre

[cavalieri85]

Were in Florida and a couple other states though. But I'm not sure if we do all there stores or mot

[heatingman]

I think Johnson has/had Walgreens, and maybe CVS also.

The other "goliath" I can think of is a part of the Reedy Group, Metro Tech.

I've heard there loosing ground and fast.

[HvAckid82]

We have seen a number of things going on like low ballers just doing an "inspection" with. O cool cleanings and goin with throw away filters. They low ball the PM but try to make up for it in service or saying things are bad when their not.

[MechanicallyInclined]

I was with the failed JCI National Service. We didn't have Walgreen's then. We did have CVS even tho there's none in my area. The reason for JCI National Service tanking was cutthroat retail. Anytime the customer dictates what price they want to pay at least one company will fail. Look at Service Solutions and MetroTech.

[cavalieri85]

Walgreens has a company that comes and.changes filters and cleans coils thats it. Twc does service on refrigeration and ac they are the waldinger corporation in the Midwest but under twc name in Florida and Georgia. We also do service at cvs for refrigeration I dont think we do ac there

Retail service is a pain to say the least.

I don't know how some of the companies can do it.

When I was at Engineering Excellence, some of there hourly rates (different from company to company) were 30 to 40% less then the norm in the area.

Retail service is way too cut throat.

I'm glad I'm out of it.

[fitzyfitta]

A little birdy at jci told me they lost CVS.

[cavalieri85]

I just remembered we only go there when called put for masterbilt warranty. No regular service for them

wondering how many guys have passed thri sice then..there on CL-Skilled HVAC looking for 7 techs in New York Area? http://www.achrnews.com/articles/cms...o-retain-techs

[cavalieri85]

Hahahahahaha. Lol!!!!!!!!
That article is somewhat true but its lacking so many details.you get 1000 dollars if you don't get hurt but fired if you do. You get to go to all there fancy meetings at the end of the year but you have to have the highest numbers in your area. So that means you have to sell your customers.more shi* they don't need. I read that article years ago before I took a job working for them. It sounded great the boss was nice. But I knew my first day on the job I was screwed. Anybody think that cms sounds good. Go find out and come back and talk to me

I would opine that the purpose of a "company employee" at these companies it perform a service that the employee is not sufficiently trained nor experienced to do.

I followed up at a site a few days ago. The previous Co was Nextech. I was not impressed with the amount of silliness I saw.

[maxster]

http://cmsmechanical.com/ and i actually saw a pix of a YORK roof top but those buildings and all there lights and glass all for show or what.do they actually do service on compressors,teardowns on chillers towers seasonal shutdown in the fall...or just tons of national acounts.even BENNER listed all there clients totaling 30 or so before Lennox took them.any body know of a Moses Weiss he is the guy with the CL add for 7 techs up here in NYC

according to you, the purpose of a "company employee" is to work like a rented mule in exchange for the smallest amount of compensation allowed by law.

do you understand whats the purpose of having a job?

My purpose is exactly the same as yours.....to make money. I open my doors each day to make money. You come to work every day to make money. What we do each day to make money, is a function of our likes and skills.

I could equally say, that according to you, the purpose of a job is to show up every day, do as little as possible, bi+ch as much as possible, and get paid as much as possible.

The purpose of getting a job is to market your skills at a level of compensation that the market determines is commensurate with those skills. This allows you to take part in our market driven economy.

The manner of keeping a job is to exceed expectations, continuing to provide the level of service that one represented when applying for the job.

[HvAckid82]

those are great answers, im curious to see what the "mules" say.

[cavalieri85]

My job description is as follows.
Quickly,efficiently,honestly, repair my customers problems with integrity.
When companirs ask you to lie or to put yourself in danger then I draw the line.
I only have one body and need it to last about 40 more years so i can provide for my family
We all have diffrent skill levels but employment goes both ways. You are to do your best for you employer every time you punch that clock. But your employer is responsible to maintain a safe and productive enviroment.
When i worked for cms I was put in terrible positions day in day out and thats why I left. I will go abovr and beyond for my employer but as they have high expectations of us why is it wrong for us to expect the same.
