Merry Maids Employer Reviews

I had learned there were still a lot of different ways and different things to use while cleaning. I was able to work with co-workers and learn things from them as well.

My typical day started at the office getting my daily schedule and gathering needed supplies for the day. We would drive to out clients homes. I learned better time management skills. We were paid a percentage of what the client paid so while we could take our time, the more houses we got done in a day the more money we made. My co-workers were what – more... made the job. The teams were small so your team kind of became your family. The hardest part of the job was more inconvenient than hard. Everyday we had a different schedule and some days ended early while others were long. So trying to plan appointments was rather difficult sometimes. That ended up to be the reason I haven't gone back. – less

First you have to clean all hard floors on your hands and knees. The equiptment is heavy. They have poor quality cleaning supplies. They tell you, you will be scheduled close to where you live...that's a big lie. They put a lot of miles on your car. Too much wear and tear on your car. Partical gas reimbursement. You are paid commission. You have to – more... clean 4-5 houses by yourself everyday. Then when you get your houses done they demand you go help the slower employees finish their houes. The management sucks. Bad communication, they change the rules to what works for the moment. They don't care if you have family functions, doctors appointments, car problems, etc. you will be scheduled to work anyway. If you make a mistake at any of your houses, the manager takes your commission away and you only make minimum wage for that house. What a rip off. I wouldn't waste your time working for this company. It's a joke. – less

Merry Maids was a great place to work. You only get paid by the house and your gas, but on a typical day you had 3 or more houses to do. I enjoyed my co-workers and my boss. The hardest part was all the wear and tear on my vehicle. Other than that, it was a great place to work.

I DID HOUSKEEPING THE LONGEST SO I GUESS I CAN SAY IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN MY FAVORITE JOB BECAUSE TO SEE A CUSTOMER STAND AND LOOK AT THEIR HOME IN COMPLETE HAPPINESS FEELS GOOD BECAUSE I FELT LIKE I HELPED THEM FOR THAT DAY.

learned different tecniques on how to clean certain items, working with different co workers, hardest part of job I would have to say OVENS :), most enjoyable working with happy people

This was a great job, just had problems Management. Switch management every other month for a while. Co workers great. Everything was enjoyable.

Managed employees to send out to scheduled homes. How to be a productive business owner and organize a company. Managing a company was very interesting and stressful. I considered my employees co-workers to myself. I also had the support from home office. It was very difficult to handle the company being a single business owner. I loved something everyday – more... about this position! Things that would make me cry could be some of the best things in the future. – less

Loved the job, the houses varied from day to day. Learned lots of tricks for fast and efficient cleaning. My co-workers were friendly and very helpful in my training. The management was extremely helpful and understanding. Hardest part of the job was loading and unloading equipment in bad weather.

A typical day at work entails anywhere from 1 to 7 houses a day, I learned professional ways to clean a house and how to make it picture perfect. Management was very kind, They just knew what business needed to be done and how it needed to be done if you werent doing it correctly they were on top of it making sure you learned how to do it.. The co workers – more... were pretty understanding and helpful. There was a small language barrier with some of them. The hardest part of the job was trying to learn how to do everything to a professional level and at a very fast pace. The most enjoyable part of the job was the customers happiness with their clean homes. – less

Some days there was work others there were not. Going out of town up to 2 times a week. Some of the girls were great to work with others were horrible to work with. A lot of wear and tear on your personal car. The hardest part of the job was working from 8 am to sometimes 7 or 8 at night out of town. or not having any work at all. Some of the customers – more... were great to clean for. – less

There really isn't a "typical" day of work because the day can always change, from the houses you clean to the number of houses you are assigned. In the 5+ years I've been with the company, there have been numerous managers so it was hard to keep up with different management styles. My co-workers are good except some of them can be disrespectful and – more... make other employees look like they don't do what their suppose to. The hardest part of the job is the strain and stress on your body as well as your car and the hours are never stable. You finish when you finish even if thats at 7, 8 or maybe later during the evening.. driving your personal car from office to customer homes or businessess – less

A typical day at Merry Maids invloved seeing who you were goign to be partnered up with and get your list of homes/offices for the day. I have learned quick and effective ways to clean your house and or office in a short time. I don't have any complaints with the management team they were good.

This was an excellent place to work.They have family values in which they try to acconidate as much as possible.The office team was great we all got along great.The hardest part of the job was resigning

It was a good job, but you needed your own vehicle to drive to different houses each day

We cleaned residential and commercial properties, it was very stress full at times, but that is what i loved about it was the challenge. I learned a lot from this job i learned that patience and detail is very important in the work place, because the smallest mistake can really make a difference. I loved my clients and they loved me that was my favorite – more... part of it is that you get close to your clients and it really makes your day a lot better. – less

I enjoyed my job, but when I needed it most they were disappointing to me, my car broke down while going to a job, and it took a couple days to fix it, I am a single mother so I was really hurt when the supervisor told me they would get someone else. I used my personal vehicle and ran up a lot of miles on it, and thats how they respect their employees.

A typical day would include driving all over the tri-county area for about 40 dollars. I did learn how to work well with others that i normaly wouldn't have thought I could.

I just member the green uniforms.working with girls that went way way way too fast.Not being satisfied with how the houses were being cleaned,or the LACK of cleaning that was being done.

the management is very poor they are disrespectful and do not know how to run there buisness. the pay is not worth the work i did. trust me merry maids is not what it seems to be. i was shocked at all the diesrespect that ive seen when i worked there.
