Unorganized and unprofessional - Housecleaner Merry Maids Employee Review

Pros

Decent hours (depending on how fast your team is)

Cons

Poor management. Employees are not treated well. The office never replaced equips and always bought stuff the broke all the time. Coworkers were unprofessional and unkind. Very often, I would not know what my day looked like until it was time to leave for our first house. They threatened to take the cost of my uniform out of my final pay check (which is illegal in my state. They can only ask for a deposit before giving the uniforms in the beginning). The office was constantly full of gossip and people were often put down. Don’t fall for their “we care about you” front that they put up in the interview and training. They show their true colors quickly.

Merry Maids Response

Each franchise is independently owned and operated, and decisions related to their daily operations, like employee compensation and benefits, are made at the discretion of the local business owner. In consideration of the franchisee/franchisor relationship, we are not able to provide you or any franchisee with employment or legal advice. We encourage you to share this feedback directly with your local franchise owner or manager, though. Your feedback is taken seriously, and it allows Merry Maids the opportunity to improve.

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!
