Pros

Mon-Fri work schedule , cleaning supplies are provided, work in teams of two.

Cons

Management is poor/Unorganized leadership Unfair and unjust treatment, kiss ups get far and do not get held to company standards. People who have been caught stealing do not get fired. (Usually because they are friends with the management) Customers can be rude, filthy, and inappropriate to maids and management will continue to send maids to their house. Although the equipment and cleaning supplies are provided for you most of it is broken down and doesn't function properly. Makes the company look bad. Schedule is supposed to be 8-5 yet management doesn't usually arrive until 8:30 (sometimes later) and schedules things after 5.pm. $0.35 is not enough per mile when gas cost what is is. It doesn't cover wear and tear on your vehicle. You cover the area from hays county to the San Antonio area, sometimes all in one day. Underbids houses to keep clients but then you lose in money, sometime you are making less than $4/hr. The office is not professional, lots of foul language and inappropriate topics Maids are unprofessional in peoples homes Lots of turn over in the maids and captains Maids get 10% of the customer is paying the company, captains 15% If you your team struggles to finish a house they will send a 3rd or fourth person and then you get payed 1/2 of what you were making on that house. Ex. If you were going to make $20 on a 4 hr house, you would get payed $10 for four hours of work. No Benefits No health care, no dental, no vision No pay raises, you cap at 15% No 401K

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!
