Great Lakes Pet Waste Solutions of Michigan L.L.C.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide dependable, professional pet waste removal services while taking exceptional care of our customers and employees and creating good-paying local jobs.
We strive to provide reliable service our customers can count on while building a workplace where employees are respected, valued, and given opportunities to grow.
Vision Statement
Our vision is to become a trusted Michigan company and one of the best local places to work.
As Great Lakes grows, we want to maintain the personal, small-business culture on which the company was built. Employees should know their leadership, feel comfortable speaking up, and know that their ideas and concerns matter.
We want to build a company where employees want to stay, people want to work, customers are proud to recommend us, and growth never comes at the expense of how we treat people.
Core Values
Respect Comes First
Every employee, customer, and member of our community deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. A job title never makes one person more important than another.
Leadership Means Responsibility
A promotion means greater responsibility for supporting people—not greater power over them. Leaders at Great Lakes are expected to lead by example.
An Open Door at Every Level
Employees should feel comfortable bringing forward concerns, suggestions, and new ideas. Good ideas can come from anyone in the company.
Never Ask What You Wouldn't Do Yourself
Leadership should never expect an employee to perform work they would be unwilling to do themselves. No one at Great Lakes is above the work.
Good Work Deserves Good Pay
As the company grows and can sustainably support it, Great Lakes will work toward providing strong wages and opportunities for employees to build better lives.
Recognize and Reward Great People
Hard work, reliability, initiative, and dedication should be noticed. Employees who help Great Lakes succeed should have opportunities to grow with the company.
Accountability With Fairness
Everyone is responsible for doing their job properly, including management. Problems should be handled fairly, consistently, and respectfully.
Customers Trust Us With Their Homes
Being invited onto someone's property is a responsibility. We will treat every customer's home, yard, pets, and belongings with care and respect.
Reliability and Professionalism
We show up when we say we will, communicate with our customers, take pride in our appearance and equipment, and complete our work properly.
Safety Comes Before Speed
No job is worth someone getting hurt. We will protect our employees, customers, pets, and property while performing our work.
Never Stop Improving
Great Lakes will always look for better ways to serve our customers, support our employees, and operate the company.

Our Leadership Principle
“Being promoted at Great Lakes gives you more responsibility for people—it doesn't give you power to treat them as lesser than you.”
No matter how large Great Lakes becomes, we will work to remain the kind of company where leadership knows its employees, listens to them, works alongside them, and remembers that every person has a role in the company's success.
