Pros

Customers are great and get to see some beautiful homes

Cons

Very long hours...very little pay. If office staff likes you then you will make decent money but if you don't clean at least 4 or 5 houses a day (by yourself) then they treat you like dirt! Most days I went to work and 8am and didn't get home till after 7pm. Expect a lot of wear and tear on your car. Don't expect to get a lunch break unless you eat while you are driving....you don't get paid while you are in route in between houses. Customer complaints constantly pouring in because the level of quality is horrible... they push you to the max! I was constantly having to smooth things over with very upset customers cause they we lied to....they were promised the same person every time (rarely happens) They were promised a quality service with well trained staff (no formal training most of the time) were promised that they will be able to communicate with employees (they sent people that can't understand or speak English) Benefits were good if you could afford them. You do get paid vacation but not allowed to take time off in November or December yet office staff and Corporate employees can. Paid holidays? Yes they are paid cause they make you work on holidays! Gossip and favoritism was a common thing. Very poorly managed. Do yourself a favor...If you like cleaning houses then work for yourself...you can go at your own pace, do quality work, make triple the money and have time for yourself....I should know.

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!
