Pros

Pay was decent- no evenings or weekends

Cons

List goes on and on- owner is a real peach - owner and scheduler are gossipy and vindictive- also very dishonest-VERY dishonest. Good paying jobs are taken away from you if they are mad at you - you will be given very dirty cleans in this case- they keep a large portion of upcharges on bad apartment cleans and are dishonest about this fact if you ask them about it. Scheduler expects you to work at 7 am to do clubhouse cleans and then then scheduled multiple apartment deep cleans- yes deep cleans- which means you will be working until 5 or later on many occasions. Owner and scheduler are rude if you try turning down work bc you are exhausted. Your body will ache constantly from carrying heaving cleaning equipment daily-cleaning are also poor quality requiring scrubbing to get tubs and ovens etc. cleaned. This is a family owned business - the owner has multiple family members working for her- thus the few good reviews out there. Anyone who has worked for this company knows what is really going on with this company. There is also ultra favoritism - example of this is bonuses that were paid during COVID but were only paid to a handful of cleaners- but I’m willing to bet family members who sat in the office got bonuses- very shady! - you will not get paid the rate that the owner advertises on ads for MOST of the work you do- understand this!

Pros

In my experience the only good thing was if you call out you won’t get fired I had an emergency one day I call out last minute and it was fine

Cons

The owner Heather offers all the benefits but you never get them. The owners pay is below average you work about 50 hours a week bring home about $400 . This is a family owned company. The owner’s daughter is also the only trainer. She pushes her weight around and leaves all of the work on. You do not expect to bring home more than $300 a week. They will tell you that it’s hourly but once you get your first day of work to find out that it’s commission only you are put into a dirty unit that takes you 8 to 9 hours to do and you would only make after taxes about $45 for the day there is no room for growth in this company. The only incentive that she gives out is $250 after 90 days but most people won’t last that long and you get $10 for every good review that you put on indeed she will tell you that you will stay in Somerville working but you end up having to go to West Ashley in Mount Pleasant this is not your typical 9-to-5 even though she tells you that sometimes you are stuck cleaning a unit until 8 o’clock at night the only person at this company that actually respects people here is the manager in my personal experience the owner doesn’t even like her because she talks about her behind her back every time she walks away the scheduler will throw things on you last minute and does not care if you had something else to do. If you arent family you wont make it here 3 months unless you do what ever the owner says . she will even make you clean ans decorate her house and her parents house, in my personal experience. I would not recommend you working here if you want to make money and have a life. Also she pays you by apple pay or venmo
