Pearlie Newsome
President
Signs every contract and reads the monthly inspection notes herself. When a manager is unhappy, her number is the one on the last page of the sheet.
About
A cleaning company run like a building's night shift.
Newsome Building Services cleans offices in Dallas at night, with a crew of about 60 and five people you'll hear from. We write the sheet before we start, and the supervisor's initials are on it every shift.
About 60 on the crew
Two night supervisors and a day line
English and Spanish, on the crew and on the line
The team
Five names, and what each one answers for.
Everyone here has an office or night-line number.
Evelio Esquivel
Operations manager
Builds the nightly routes and orders supplies. Speaks English and Spanish, and answers the office line during the day.
Dariana Cerrato
Night supervisor, Downtown, Uptown and Oak Lawn
Walks each building at the start and the end of the shift and initials the sheet. Speaks English and Spanish.
Yen Do
Night supervisor, Lake Highlands, Addison and Allen
Runs the northern routes and the supply truck. Speaks English and Vietnamese; her crews have a Spanish-speaking lead.
Hortencia Partida
Crew hiring and training
Talks with every applicant, in English or Spanish, and runs the first-week training. Speaks English and Spanish.
Two languages
Languages on the crew.
English and Spanish
Three of the five people above speak both. Every route has a Spanish-speaking lead, and so does every training session.
For your office
The sheet, the quote and the policies are printed in English and in Spanish, if your building's staff would rather read it in Spanish.
For the crew
Applications, interviews and the first-week training are in both languages. The careers page is in Spanish too.
How
How we work.
- 01
Step 1: Write it down first
No crew starts until the sheet is agreed. If something changes, the sheet changes first.
- 02
Step 2: A name on every route
A supervisor is always named, and the night line reaches the supervisor on duty.
- 03
Step 3: Fix it the same night
If something is missed and a crew is still in the building, it's fixed that night.
