“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

“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

“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.
