I work for a super small cleaning company and she is very well established about an hour away and recently moved to my area to expand and live with her husband. Definitely made it sound like it will be very lucrative as after 2 weeks of training you would earn commission off of your clients depending on what they pay for their cleaning. I started at $17 an hour and my partner lost his job so I asked if I could get more hours. She let me know that there was office work that needs to be done and they would like to train me on that. I'm like sweet, I already prefer office work.
2 weeks later she still hasn't given me more hours and I asked about it. I asked if I'd get a raise at some point and she then told me I'd earn commission starting next week but office work is $15/hr.
I told her that was too low and she said we could figure something out and that was left there. I know she lowered it this week. I'm waiting for my paycheck to discuss it. I didn't sign anything stating I'd take a lower pay, but saw it in our system.
Some of the things I was told when I applied arent even followed; bdays off and paid, $10/per 5 star reviews (I've had 4 and got $5 each time) + $25 bonus if you get 4 in 1 month. I did. No bonus.
That's small in comparison to feeling like this is super shady. I have some opportunities to make more in offices but they're all not hiring until January.
