Pros

Pay day every Friday, boss who cared, you develop good upper body strength. You don't need to work weekends.

Cons

Dental benefits only after a year of employment and only up to $200, which covers very little. High stress - people are very picky over stupid things and if you try really hard, you will probably still lose and get a lecture from management. I always tried my absolute best and it never seemed to be good enough. Exhausting work. Often worked over 8 hours with the only breaks being while we were driving to the next location because we didn't want to be cleaning until 6 again. We get lectured if not fast enough, but going too fast leads to mistakes; their expectations are sometimes unrealistic. Even with knee pads, my knees were in terrible condition during my time there. Some of the products were really irritating to the lungs and there wasn't proper protection for that aspect.

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!
