Being purchased by an investment company has its effects. - Distribution Manager ServiceMaster Brands Employee Review

The last three years of working here were very tough, especially the last year. The company was purchased by an investment company roughly seven years earlier. The last three years they began positioning the company for either selling or going public along with outsourcing departments. This caused the overall working environment to deteriorate. Many upper management and executives were removed and or replaced, staff were being laid off, budget cuts, facilities being closed and so forth. Ethics were no longer a priority.
