Pros

Your day is mainly independent and self regulated. There are many overtime opportunities.

Cons

Mandatory overtime is overwhelming and hard work is rarely rewarded. Your day off can disappear without replacement if they need people to work. You can work twice as hard as others and only hear negative feedback since there is always more to be done, while those who don't finish their jobs are not held accountable. Its a shame because the job itself is fine. The disorganization and the lack of respect you receive because you're "just a housekeeper" makes this job emotionally destructive.

Pros

Works from home and PTO

Cons

Consistently adding more and new work assignments with no additional compensation or training causing much stress among the staff. Pay does not reflect importance and difficulty of the position.
