Pros

The job itself is fine. Customers are great, well most of them anyways. Not working weekends is the only great thing about this job.

Cons

The pay for Management is not where it should be when you're working 50-65 hours every week and only getting paid salary. There are laws for salaried employees working overtime and it seems as if the boss has swept that one under the rug. The employees are lacking in self respect, pride in their work, maturity, and respect for their customers and superiors. There also aren't enough employees willing to do this kind of work. If you have children, you might as well plan on not being able to see them due to the long work hours. Extremely stressful and exhausting. Other managers do not have enough respect for their co-managers nor do they respect their employees.

Pros

The work is good exercise, some of the customers can be very nice.

Cons

At the interview they tell you that you will make 15% of the price of every house cleaning- what they don't tell you is that you make 15% of whatever is LEFT OVER after they take out most of it. So essentially I was working 30-40 hours a week and never made more than $150.00 a week. They also told me that one of their newer maids got the hang of the job quickly and was able to move faster, and thus started making $400 a week or more. I asked her myself in private, and she laughed at me and said that that amount in unheard of. I was promised that I would be compensated for my gas that I burned driving miles and miles to different clients. Some of them were pretty far away. I never got one penny for gas despite turning in my mileage to them daily, so I spent most of my pay on gas. I'm not a kid that lives at home with mom and dad for free, so this was a pretty huge blow. Also, if a client complains about ANYTHING at all, you have to go and redo the house FOR FREE and you never get paid for doing it the first time. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone, ever.
