First place that I have worked at where I felt my hard work was appreciated. Being able to pick my own work hours allowed for great work life balance. Plenty of work available Given the responsibility to manage your own clients means you aren’t micromanaged but staff extremely helpful when support was needed. Only leaving as I’m moving interstate

I love the flexible times so I can still take my child to and from school. I like seeing my clients regularly and they are happy to see me. i was out of the workforce for quite a long time and mangement made me feel welcome from the start. If there were any issues they were there to help me out right away.

Working for Excel Cleaning has been a great experience. Starting from the training, the trainer educated me correctly as to the Australian standards. She taught me to clean efficiently and quickly also managing the time well. The payment process was explained well and in the end there was question answer session which cleared any doubt we had. All through that I have been working with them there has been continuous support, guidance and help provided at all times. In times when I was unwell and had to take up emergency leave or had to go overseas to meet my family always there has been clear communication and fill-in was taken care of.
