Pros

Independent work you can use your own car and no one breathes down your neck. 40% or $12.50 hour they will give you witch ever is higher. A great community of girls who all care and work very hard I've made some good friends through this company they absolutely make it feel like family there.

Cons

They want to shove as many houses as they can down your throat and with them there is Zero Grey area it's either too many or too little amount of houses. Prepare to be critized constantly on how fast you are or if you decided to take an optional lunch break, and forget about getting sick or their mandatory "if the schools close we close" because they never close. If you help someone on a house instead of fair pay expect a $5 seven eleven gift card that half the time has no money on it. They train you then it's from the frying pan into the fryer half of my job I learned from being thrown around from partner to partner. The office gossips about the girls and the owner does little to nothing about anything except be little you if you ask about something. More then once my pay checks had to be ajusted from then skimping my pay (it was fixed thou). I was almost assulted by one of my customers. They absolutely care more about the money then you, they will constantly remind you just how replaceable you are. They also don't pay the 53¢ a mile instead it's 23¢. And after you become a trainer/solo or a lead that's the end of their opportunitys.

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!
