Pros

Paid holidays,and vacation after a year.Love the customers! I worked for Merry Maids in Colorado and Hawaii both were ran very well,management did a great job.When you care about your customers and workers it shows!

Cons

The con to Merry Maids is the Huntsville AL office,the owners are shady and only care about their bottom line.They send girls out to clean with little training,and don't drug test like they are required to.The houses are often under price and if your commission for the day is less than minimum wage they still only pay you the commission.They have had girls out as late as 10 pm! They often aren't honest about how much you can make and advancement within their office.They are quick to write you up if a customer complains but rarely give any praise.If you are a outstanding cleaner, your hard work with be rewarded with you going to fix all the houses the other workers mess up and the hardest customers to please will end up as yours.They don't treat their customers any better.They don't pay to fix things employee's damage, more than one customer has had to sue them.

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!
