Isn’t worth the low pay

House Cleaner (Former Employee) - Noblesville, IN - May 8, 2022

understaffed, working at a low pay rate compared to other maid gigs. not worth it. 3 people teams cleaning 6-8+ houses some days. managers will always favorite the workers that have been there longer than you, even if those people are rude and start unnecessary drama.

I love having my weekends off and if I need a day off during the week. They are really understanding.

Team Member (Current Employee) - Birmingham, AL - May 2, 2022

The Maids provides breakfast for us every morning. They celebrate Birthdays, anniversaries and special moments but most importantly they listen to you. We are a team and we care about each other. I have learned that we are all different but we have to treat each other with respect. The job is physical but the time goes by fast. My experience with the customers have been positive and at the end of the day you have made someone smile.

Pros

The free breakfast is good I don't have to drive my own car I don't work on weekends

Cons

you don't know the exact time you will finish

Caring environment & understanding management

Production Manager (Current Employee) - Lafayette, LA - April 29, 2022

The culture created in the office is second to none! Free breakfast, fun and engaging activities, thorough training. Family owned and operated so they understand the meaning of family and grant time off when necessary. No nights or weekends is a big plus.

No Night and No Weekends

Management (Current Employee) - Mobile, AL - April 29, 2022

I have worked here for over 15 plus years. The job is very physical, but worth it to be home with family and friends nights, weekends, and holidays.It makes me feel good about myself that I am helping people that are in need.

Long Hours and low pay

Maid/Housekeeping Cleaner (Former Employee) - Noblesville, IN - April 18, 2022

Lied to in the interview , said maids get off work at 5 and we would still be in a costumer home at 6-7. They can't keep employees. Costumers would talk bad to the maids and the office would still make the maids clean the house . no respect.Made to feel like less then others, just because we cleaned. Management would lied saying no teams were back and sent a team to clean a house that wasn't on their schedule. saying there was no one else back to clean it, but we would know because of carpooling. Would make the employees fold the cleaning towels and not pay them for it. once every few months they would give a $25 gift card for folding but we folded towels for hrs.Getting time off was not going to happen. when you were sick the management would say i came to work so can you. but the management stayed in the office and not manual labor. team leaders smoked in the cars short brakes and short lunch if you get a lunchoh and they said you get free breakfast and all you got you a granola bar.

Pros

you have a job

Cons

everything. low pay, long hours, short breaks and they lie.

Flexible work hours, great management team.

Business Operations Manager (Current Employee) - Winter Garden, FL - April 5, 2022

The work is challenging at times and so are clients. You don't have much in terms of upward mobility. Management stays out of the way once you are up and running.

Pros

Flexible hours

Cons

Upward mobility limited.

Don’t work here! It’s not worth it

Housekeeper (Former Employee) - Wilmington, DE - March 26, 2022

Do not work here! Please do not waste your time. It’s not worth it. Management is a joke and she is very unprofessional. There is a lot of Favoritism. Company makes you work long hours, Sometimes out until 7 or 8 PM every night. You have no life outside of work and forget about spending time with family. This place is a joke, Save yourself the hassle and don’t work here. If you aren’t in the “Click” with management then honestly you have no chance here. Some employees get treated better then others. A lot of gossip goes on here. Management talks about employees behind their back’s. Spreads other people business to everyone, Not ok!!! They will just hire anyone from off the street, They don’t run background checks on people, nothing! That’s not safe. Somehow they never stay after being hired and quit after a few days. Crazy!!! . Other employees wanna be in your business, Always wanting to listen to stuff you say. I wish i could give this place negative stars. It’s like a high school setting not a professional work place. It’s a terrible place to work. It’s also not a safe workplace. If you do decide to work in this terrible place I wish you the best of luck because honestly you are gonna need it

Pros

There is none!

Cons

Short lunch breaks, No breakfast offers in the morning, Company works you like a dog with extremely long hours

Definitely more laid back job, but not worth the pay.

Team Assistant Leader (Former Employee) - Rochester, NY - March 25, 2022

The only good thing about this job is the fact that you get to drive around all day, going from home to home, basically just cleaning. You get to to see and be inside of some beautiful homes, which can be very inspiring. The cons of this job is your hours fluctuate every week so your paycheck is never the same, $14 is not nearly enough for the back breaking work we had to put in, and it’s almost always mostly women so you have to deal with that all day.

Pros

Get to drive around all day and see beautiful homes, pick up on professional cleaning skills, PTO automatically start accruing and can be used immediately.

Cons

Hours get cut a lot so your paycheck is never the same each week, pay isn’t worth it.

Fun job but could be exhausting

Field Manager (Former Employee) - Mishawaka, IN - March 10, 2022

For the most part, my co-workers were great. Of course you had the occasional one who was just so-so.Loved not having a boss looking over my shoulder all day. The time flew by because we were constantly busy.Exhausting work at the end because we were so short handed.

Fun place to work, management sucked

House Cleaner (Former Employee) - Cleveland, OH - March 5, 2022

It's a fun place to work but management SUCKED. Running a team, training new employees and getting all the houses done was stressful.. Walking into work never knowing if everyone showed up, who called off, how many houses were on the list without the proper team mates. But the best part? The clients!

Pros

Ninguno

Cons

Si te gusta trabajar limpiando está muy bien, pero te explotan y las compañeras son muy abusivas.
