Pros

Merry Maids does have a strong set of standards, and when performed correctly it is a good product to be a part of. Because of the national recognition, it's pretty easy to get customers, as long as you keep them wowed to have then invite you back.

Cons

Compensation is definitely very minimum. You are paid on a mixture of commission and hourly wage, as long as your average for the week meets the minimum hourly wage standards. This puts enormous pressure to crank out as much housecleaning as possible, as fast as possible. Pressure is added that this is a very "customer is always right" type of environment, so any mistakes the customer decides you make count against you no matter what the standards are.

Pros

When the customers tipped you.

Cons

Long hours, horrible mean coworkers. Lots of gossip. If you value yourself and your self worth do not work here. The girl who trained me my first day she expected me to know everything and be as fast as her. She would talk about me behind my back to the other girl we were teamed up with. The other girl was nice and understanding and she was part of the reason I didn’t quit after day one. This trainer girl was horrible! She ruined my self confidence and made me feel stupid. She got mad when I worked tomorrow only slow and got mad when I was too fasts. I have watched 3 new employees come and go and all the people that have been there for years treated them horribly and talked about them behind their back. I only stayed for as long as I did because of the job market being bad right now. This had to be the worst job I’ve had in my life! Also the manager will tell you the hours are 8am to 4pm with occupational 7pm off times but everyday we went over 4 pm. I had no life and my body hurt so bad. Please find another job because this one isn’t good!
