Pros

The girls were nice, they provided the cleaning supplies.

Cons

you only get .29 cents per a mile you drive in Lake Oswego. You get to work and they let you inside at 7:08 am and you work off the clock until 7:25 because you are not allowed to clock in until then, however you want to load your car as soon as you get there or you will be behind on ur whole day. After 7:25 you clock on and recieve books of how many houses your getting that day. Nothing beats the nervous feeling you get when you get to work on how scared you are of how many houses they are going to give you this time? They push the limits and it doesn’t matter how sore you are they under price the houses and expect un realistically true cleaning estimations. Depending on the favoritism you recieve by the manager will depend how many houses and how difficult they can be. The best part is the pay, these customers will treat you like crap and exapect the best work because they are being charged anywhere from $90-$700 for one cleaning and they assume you get a huge chunk of that cleaning LOL no. You recieve 20 percent if working with a partner and 40 percent alone, when working alone I received $400-$500 checks and was making $19-$60 a house. When working with a partner I worked 6 days and my paycheck was $500 and I worked over 48 hours. There have been weeks I made under min wage because if you calculate my hours compared to my pay it’s not worth it. They send you to first times in and they take Atleast 5 hours, and that’s just one house they will treat you like garbage and make u feel dumb because you can’t clean a house in their small frame it’s just sad putting so much work on your body with little to no good outcome and the money isn’t worth it I get paid better working at a grocery store. And the hours are 7:30-4 Atleast but I cannot count how many times I’ve gotten off 5/6/ pm and they will try and force you to work saturdays and if u don’t have a legit reason to say no they try and making you feel guilty for saying no

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!
