What is it like working as a Facilities Manager?

Great job.

Cons: You do not receive the respect and acknowledgement you deserve.
April 2016
Managing people in relation to expectations of a facility.
Facilities Manager:
Pros: I the mix of hands on work mixed with management and team leading. In today's world more and more employees are tied to their computers and desks at work. But in my position, I HAVE to get out of my chair and do rounds, check in on certain issues etc. It makes my days go by incredibly fast and lends itself to a healthy lifestyle.
Cons: People treat you like a servant. For whatever reason, adults arrive at the workplace and immediately ditch any sense of decorum or responsibilities as it corresponds to their own behaviors. I've seen it all, dirty dishes in the closet, throwing aware 'broken' equipment because they didn't turn it on. There is this belief that while a facilities individual keeps the buildings running, that they should also do anything and everything that isn't contained, explicitly in someone elses job descriptions.
