There are so many cons regarding Aftermath any employee could write a manifesto longer than the novel “War and Peace.” If one were to read the brochures they pass out at funeral home conventions, police conventions, or any other place they are able to market their business they would think Aftermath is a wonderful and caring company. It is an embarrassment, not a privilege, to admit to working for Aftermath.
Unless you are willing to give up a personal life, have family, or have friends, you do not want to work for this company. Most employees are expected to 24/7. When I first started working there benefits were available after the first 90 days of employment. Without notification to current employees Aftermath changed this policy to no benefits for the first 180 days of employment.
Upper management will get angry with an employee and just fire them. Aftermath is protected under the Right-to-Work laws. Aftermath will get mad at an employee, fire them, and then start a new policy if someone does what that person just did they will be fired as well. At least two or three new rules are created each week that will get an employee fired.
Aftermath bills customers $285 per hour for the field technician supervisor and $275 per hour for each field technician. Typically all jobs have one supervisor and two technicians for each job. In reality, the field technicians and supervisors never actually work the full hour, but the customer still pays for the full hour. Half the time the crew is taking breaks and playing around.
The labor costs are $285 per hour for the supervisor who does not do any of the cleaning. The supervisor sits in the van, comes in on occasion to see how the progress of the cleanup is going, takes a few pictures, and then goes back out in the van and talks on the phone. Of course they are diligently working on updating the case handler on the job status and typing reports.
I pity anyone who has a conscious and gets hired there. If you have a conscious and do not want to be treated like the lowest form of life scum do not apply to work there. If you think I am just a bitter past employee I hope you learn your lesson, get hired there, and I will be reading your comments about how you should have taken my review more seriously.
