Started out good and than dropped off the cliff
Carpet Cleaner Technician (Former Employee) – Huntsville, TX – March 11, 2019
I started out in late October and it was very good hours and pay at first for training. After a while I was told I’d get a dollar raise and never did. I also never got to finish my training before I left there. My hours started of consistent going from 20-35 hours at one point during the “cleaning season.” Well after December my hours plunged from 20-35 hours one week to 15-20 hours and then a month later after I got back from vacation I ended up only getting 5-10 hours and by the time I left within three weeks I only got 2 hours total. I’d recommend this job to someone who is in college and need a job to work with your schedule. This is not a job for someone looking to get benefits that are good because you won’t get any here at all as I was told from a full-time worker and he only got PTA. But the kicker is that at this job some weekends you couldn’t even make plans because you had to be on call and you could make only an extra 50$ for that weekend. Well what broke to straw on the camels back for me was that I was told they couldn’t afford to put me on call for a week because I received 0 hours for two weeks straight.
Pros
None I can think of
Cons
No benefits, no hours, no raise as promised, only get ours for a certain period of time, occasional on call shift, can’t plan weekends at all, inconsistent scheduling
Overall awesome company, one of the greatest jobs I’ve ever had
Carpet Technician/ Demolition Crew Member (Former Employee) – Tacoma, WA – February 28, 2019
The work hours were great, the jobs were fun...hard work but fun, I enjoyed meeting new people everyday and being welcomed into their homes! The veteran employees are super kind and welcoming. The owner is super friendly and someone I was proud to work for
Pros

Sales Representative (Former Employee) – El Paso, TX – February 26, 2019
its door to door sales of vaccuums. you sell to your family for one of the most expensive vaccuums. dont bother. go work for mcds or any other fast food place.
NOT a good place to work
Administrative Assistant (Former Employee) – Lititz, PA – January 24, 2019
Work here if you want to work for people who never trust you, talk about everyone behind their backs to their other employees, and generally think they're better than anyone else. It's a family company, but don't think they'll treat you like family. The owner's son started working for the company full-time when he graduated high school and literally laughed at me for going to college. Also, the only way you advance is if you are a relation or dating the owner's son (not by skill). Beware, they also constantly threaten to sue people and have taken some employees to court. Also, there are four managers for such a small company and each one will tell you the other one has no idea what they are talking about and then tell you to do something different (which is never good for you).
I could go on, but I won't.

Pros
None
Cons
No healthcare and no chance of getting a raise. You get paid $10.00 an hour, but they'll tell you you're not worth it!
Personally I will not recommend this place for work

Estimator, Marketing Representative (Former Employee) – Burlington, NC – July 16, 2018

Pros
Not much

Insufficient comfort in workplace or motivation. .

Employment at Rainbow International
Mitigation Technician/Warehouse Manager (Former Employee) – Newport News, VA 23606 – March 27, 2018
The average day at rainbow was pretty relaxed. Ive learned a lot working for the company. The management was great they worked a lot with my children and I with our schedules. The most enjoyable part of the company was the people and management. The hardest part of the job was working with temps that would only work for a week then not return.
Pros
Relaxed company
Cons
Not stable
Great place to be!
Operations Assistant (Current Employee) – Columbia, SC – March 6, 2018
I found the restoration buisness in my early 20's. After just a few months I found out I loved it! Helping people is a great feeling. Every day there is something differnet. Ive worked on huge homes to historical buildings to hospitals and even the State Capital Building here in Columbia. I really do love. If you are willing to work very hard on hot summer days and long hours when the whole city freezes over this is the job for you.
Pros
too many to name!
Cons
Not every customer is fun to work for.
Stressful and unpredictable

Very long workdays left me exhausted at the end of the day.
