Pros

There are a couple of honest employees that you will love to have as a cleaning partner. However, this is a family environment & when one person is ready to sabotage another coworker (usually the new employee), they will stick together. No weekends

Cons

Poor training. No diversity or inclusion. I felt sorry for the one black person that worked there. We rarely helped her while other coworkers who worked alone got help often. If you are "different", their insecurities will show. They will break a 90 day contract & fire without cause. Instead of a lay off, quality check and management will create or exaggerate (lie) in order to violate that contract. Never sign a quality check that you don't agree with especially if you detect scheming. The work environment is an unprofessional atmosphere with patronizing, condescending snobbish backstabbing coworkers & management. Low pay. Faulty equipment. Management is unreasonable. Expect to not have breaks. Management will allow breaks but remember you are timed & expected to be at other houses at certain times. Therefore, snacking & weight loss will occur. If you are a person of color, or if you are of Caucasian background (like myself) run far far away. In other words, this is not the place to be for anyone. You will be misunderstood & be made the person to blame everything on as the new person due to selfishness & ignorance. They will ignore all the good reviews, tips that you did receive from happy customers & the excellent work that you do. Expect no recognition. Because of the high turn over, the majority is afraid of losing either their position or job. Watch how certain ones (most of them) are quick to whisper/complain to management about their working partner & watch how management rarely investigates or inquire if the accusations are true. You will experience unfair treatment. I've witnessed these things with eyes & ears. This establishment will say "no nights" but this is far from the truth.

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!
