Pros

You're by yourself most nights, so if you don't like socializing, this is a nice job. The hours for this job are good for fulltime employees looking for extra gig work at night.

Cons

The effort is far too demanding for the pay. Imagine doing 50 lb dumbbell farmer walks up and down 50+ flights of stairs in the span of 2 hours, and if you're in Arizona like me, the summer nights of 110+ degrees will nearly kill you. At the end of the night, you'll collapse in your car and won't recover for another 20+ minutes and will realize you didn't even make more than $30 for that amount of effort that night. (if you're an efficient worker, you will be paid less, since you finished the job faster) I don't think even construction workers are made to work this intensely in that short of a time period. Just get a job at Mcdonalds. They will pay the same but your body won't die. Or go work construction. I heard HVAC pays pretty good. Some apartment complex are better than others. The apartment I was assigned to had FAR too many staircases. 50+ in one night, because each apartment had it's own staircase, and I had to walk up every staircase to check each door, in case anybody had any trash that was hidden by balcony walls. The apartment that I was trained at, however, had only 12 or so staircases, so the workload was much easier. If you're lucky to get an easy apartment complex and don't mind the workload, stick wtih it. It's not a bad job otherwise.

Pros

The company support and benefits are great. They do try and train you but you're on your own since it's a remote job. You need to be a self starter and ok working alone.

Cons

The product is not worth it. You have to rely on bad part time employees to do a quality job which is picking up trash. It's hard to find someone to take that job who could work somewhere else for the same pay. You are always fixing problems but the solution isn't good enough all you can do is replace or retrain the valets. When residents screw up it's still our fault. The peoe who oversee operations are stretched thin and can't fix anything. I've also been through 3 mass firings in 2 years. The company is always letting people go to cut costs.
