Merry Maids reviews

Too many to list, but this particular branch was very good at keeping enough hands on deck to spread the work very thin and then, when business picked up they would pile it on to the point of exhaustion. Daily schedules were carefully manipulated, even by sending girls to houses that were known cancellations "on accident", so that no one ever actually could make a decent living. People go in and out of the job like a revolving door, and not just because of the nature of the business like they say, but because of the poor treatment and lies of management. A single woman cannot support herself on this income because of the very low percentages of compensation per house, but also, a factor many women do not consider - you must provide and maintain your own vehicle. The branch I worked at paid such low mileage that I could barely afford gas much less the kind of brakes, oil changes, etc that a frequently used vehicle takes. And this management had no problem sending employees from one side of town to another town 40 miles away for a job and back again to the office. Can you imagine driving 60-80 miles round trip to make $12 for a job when you only have 3 houses? You do it when you are afraid of getting fired or given less work as payback. Equipment was never properly maintained and repair was so infrequent, girls would just be swapping broken equipment for less broken everyday. I feel fortunate that I was never electrocuted by torn and frayed wiring. And some people don't care about any of that, they just want a little side money and to get off early, and, if you play the game right, you can, but don't believe that motto "if I work very hard, it will show in my pay check". It does not happen like that with the branch I was in.
