Dirt Busters House Cleaning

Your job will start at 8 unless a home is set up for later like 10. But I start my day with looking at my home making sure I have all my cleaning supplies in place and my uniform is cleaned. I drive to my first home I like to arrive 15 min early so I can review any notes listed like what detail of cleaning is it detail 1 or detail 2 which I keep as a screen saver so I have it on hand. I like to get started cleaning in the masters and work my way out. I normally have 1-2 homes but I do sometimes get 3 homes (small) to clean in one day. I am just starting so I am getting the hang of it still but cleaning from top to bottom and taught me how to clean my own home efficiently as well. Some days are long some days are so short and those are the best days the enjoyable parts is really seeing the result of your hard work, making your clients happy and smile, getting to know your clients, tips of course and the hardest part would be sometimes my right hand is so sore at the end of the week it’s hard to open and the chemicals dry out my hand that’s all. 

Starting off with the pay, don't let the $800-$1200 a week fool you. That's for 'Trainers/lead techs'. You make 45% commission on what the client pays. For 'TopToBottom' cleans, there are normally 2 techs which means you now have to split the total amount paid and then you get 45% of that split. You aren't paid well for all the work/hours you're expected to do. This company would rather you rely on clients tipping then pay you accordingly for the amount of work. 2nd PTO. You only get 40hrs of PTO FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR. No sick leave, no personal days, no vacation. No matter the reason for an absence, YOU HAVE TO USE YOUR PTO. THEY DO NOT ACCEPT DOCTORS NOTES OR FAMILY EMERGENCIES. Once your PTO is gone, you accumulate points, reach a certain amount and they fire you. This company was great in the beginning. Now, they could care less about your health, they expect you to work more than 8 hrs (NO OVERTIME) and they leave you hanging if you end up working past 5pm. Don't bother with this joke of a company. There are others out there that pay more and create policies that benefit their employees. 

Overall great employees work for this company. The owner is a well motivated individual trying to stay ahead of technology. His message is understood from day 1. 100% Customer Satisfaction. The problem comes from his general manager and the thought that her previous experience in sales is how you operate this business, it's not. From day 1 it is communicated that every manager is responsible for revenue, which is an accurate statement being all employees need to perform assigned duties acceptably to sustain the operation. Just real weird things this GM did like calling a previous employer of mine 3 weeks after I was employed to get feedback on my previous duties and discipline issues. Again overall good people just one bad apple who has no operations experience.

Overall it is a good company to work for if you can deal with constant schedule changes. You have to be available from 8am-5pm. Even if you are already home they can ask you to cover another home, if you don’t you will get in trouble. You do have the opportunity to make decent money but it is hard work. You only make 45-49% of what the customer pays for the cleaning. As you work here longer you realize how unfair the pay is. You practically break your back cleaning 3 homes a day. Only make $100-$150 a day. They don’t allow people to request you as a cleaner, which sucks when you start to build a good connection with the customer. If this is stuff you can deal with then this would be a good place for you to work. The management is super supportive and friendly. No complaints about them. 

When I first started I thought the job was great but that changed really fast. I shortly realized they don’t care about our health/well being, they’re always understaffed which ends in us being over worked, when the office/management needs help we’re expected to drop everything to help but if we need help in the field the office/management looks the other way. The office/management is also very shady, they don’t follow their core values at all. Nothing but red flags with this company. I thought I’ve already worked for the worst company out there until I started working here. Don’t waste your time or energy. They’ll tell you all the right things just to screw your over first chance they get. 

They do not pay you for two hours of orientation! They don’t pay you for 3+ hours of training that you’re supposed to do on your own time!  I thought this was going to be a great company to work for, but I was completely wrong! you are timed for cleaning and expected to get 4 star reviews! But hard to do when not given the proper amount of time! They say that you are not maids you are cleaners, but in my time there I felt more of a maid! They expect you to do things off the clock well, not getting paid! On your personal time every night after you clock out! Very disappointing!  And unprofessional! And they take 55% of what you make! And first weeks training is minimum wage only with no tips! 


What is the best part of working at the company?
The hours were good. Monday -Friday. Meeting new employees all the time. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
They express certain Core Values for their Company and expectations from employees but management does abide by these same Core Values. Disappointing. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic. Friendly upfront but not the reality. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Nonstop from the time I arrived until the time I left for home. Lunches were constantly interrupted if I was in the office.

This company is not inclusive . There is no communication or accountably in management .  Pay is way less than stated . With gas and supply maintenance it’s closer to minimum wage .  They have new orientation every week because the turnover rate is high . 
Selective communication 

I worked as a cleaning tech and at times when I struggled I  always felt supported by management. I am now in the office and still feel the support from everyone! A lot of patience and guidance to succeed as I navigate through the learning process. This position is multitasking 2.0 !!  I am so very grateful for this company and the opportunities given as they have made a difference in my life. I truly enjoy  my position and the people I work with. I can honestly say for the first time in many years I actually love my job … 

A typical day of work is making sure you are on time, being pleasant and making sure your customers are happy. I learned that if you do your absolute best and make sure you double check your work, everything should be fine. Management is always there for you for any situations or concerns you may have, absolutely a great team and I’m happy and very satisfied. For me, there is no hard part of this job as long as you follow and understand the responsibilities. The most enjoyable part of my job is meeting new clients.
