Why Working for a Family Business is Great for Recent Grads

Entering the workforce comes with a slew of important decisions to be made. When looking for

a place to start the next chapter of your career, it’s essential to consider what kind of company

you want to work for in terms of size, values, and future advancement options. For many recent

graduates, working for a family business like Service Uniform can provide a better transition

into the workforce for these reasons:

Size

Many family-run businesses are smaller in size than the corporate competition, which means

the employees are more likely to receive more specialized attention from supervisors and trainers.

Plus, a smaller workforce means better opportunities for advancement within the company.

With this smaller size also comes a unique sense of camaraderie. A small team where each

employee knows the other’s names will be very tight-knit and can offer more of a support

system than some larger businesses.

Longevity

Because family businesses are so small, they tend to prioritize the long-term over the short-

term. This means that new hires are viewed as long-term investments for the good of the

company. If you’re looking for a place to start a permanent or stable career, a family business

could provide the ideal setting to work your way up the management ladder. Worldwide, about

80 percent of companies are family-owned, and these companies make up the largest

proportion of long-term employment opportunities. This means that even if you are starting at

an entry-level position, you likely won’t find yourself there for long.

Enrichment

Because of the close personal relationships, specialized professional attention, and long-term

opportunities, small businesses can provide a more enriching work environment that makes

your job feel less like a job and more like an integral part of your life. Working for a family

business can help you feel more invested in your work and, consequently, happier with your job

overall.

No matter which field you hope to go into, there are many benefits to working for a family

business.

Hey Chip! How We Fix Your Wear and Tear

Chip here again! I’m back this week to take you through another aspect of our Blue Chip System: the repair process. Using our efficient RFID technology, we make sure every uniform is properly cleaned, repaired, and sorted for 100% accuracy every time.

When your uniforms need a repair, you can let us know by placing the clothing into the Blue Chip orange repair bag. As the uniform goes through the Blue Chip System, the garment is scanned to show its thermal repair ticket to operators. Then, during our in-line inspection process, uniforms in need of repair will be removed and immediately fixed before continuing through the sorting and delivery system.

Even if you don’t make a request, your uniforms will be hand-inspected as they go through the sorting process to check for signs of wear and tear. Then, they’ll be repaired, replaced, or upgraded immediately at no extra charge so that you’ll always get your uniforms back on time. The uniforms are inspected by our skilled certified garment inspectors, who will carefully examine each and every piece of clothing for needed repairs.

Each repair is scanned and tracked in the Blue Chip delivery report, so you will always know when a repair has been made to one of your garments. Once all requests and proactive repairs are completed and logged, the uniforms continue on to be sorted by a wearer and, finally, delivered back to your company.

Need to make repairs on the go? In addition to our other systems, we just launched our new Mobile Repair App that allows you to communicate repairs right from your phone. With this Mobile Repair App, you simply enter your name, scan or enter the uniform barcode, briefly fill out additional information, take a picture and push send. The process is easy and hassle free. To download this app, simply go to the Apple App Store or Google Play and search “Service Uniform.”

From the first scan to the last, our efficient Blue Chip System ensures that your uniforms will be cleaned, repaired, and sorted correctly every time—and that’s our 100% accuracy guarantee.
