Pros

you get paid per house you clean, so the more you can do in a day, the more you can make. meet lots of people, make friends with clients in their homes, and with your team mate.

Cons

very hard physical labor, they will burn you out, use you up, and ask for more. no opportunity for raises, or moving up in the company. They have a strange policy of not allowing office staff to be friends with the cleaners. manipulative training tactics....they reimburse you for mileage, they say its for "general wear and tear on your vehicle" but its pennies; meanwhile the miles keep racking up.

Awful.

Pros

They do offer paid time off after a year. Holidays are also paid after ninety days, but most companies offer this.

Cons

Long hours, pay not what promised. They use you untilvthey no longer need ypu then discard you like trash. The most unethical place i have ever worked. When you need to get off early for doctors appointments you are given a guilt trip. All they care about is the almighty dollar not the employee. One employee had a nervous breakdown from the stress of working here.

Pros

Good job for gaining people skills and learning how to navigate the area. Gives the opportunity to meet all different kinds of people and to learn how to work with them.

Cons

Not paid for time at the office or between jobs –– paid according to the houses you clean (not hourly). Major wear and tear on car. Routes not planned well. Not guaranteed 40 hours, even as a full time employee. Days often run later than 5pm.
