Learning the ins and outs of how you got played is a good life lesson. 5 stars for diversity and inclusion, because they are equal opportunity on screwing you over.

I can't believe this place still exists. This was my summer job in college for 2 summers. Let me fill you in on the scam. They sucker some poor college kid to bang on doors to drum up business and recruit and build a team. Only issue - they usually get crap territories and lowball the jobs to get the contracts. In comes you, the gullible sap who gets lured in with a promise of $15/hour or better. Here comes the hustle... You get the bare minimum of training and aren't encouraged to do any kind of decent job. Reason being: you are paid based on the estimate for the job. If the job estimate to paint the house was $2K (which includes paint & materials, overhead, and then your salaries), you are locked in to what you will get paid on that job. Let's say the estimate factors your share of labor at 20 hours to complete the job. If you finish in 20 hours, you get paid at $15/hour - great! If you finish sooner than 20 hours, you get paid even MORE! WOW!!! Think of the UPSIDE!!! But oh no, here comes the hustle (and the reality of College Pro). Instead, remember, your schmuck boss low-balled the quotes to get the work to hit his number. That $2,000 estimate that binds you on what you get paid? Well, it really should have been a $3,500 estimate because it's not going to take 20 hours. It's going to take 40 hours. That $15/hr you thought you were getting paid? No - now it's $7.50/hour. And that's being generous - more often than not, the estimates were off by worse than that. When I worked there, I was making less than minimum wage. These were all houses that were in terrible shape that hadn't been painted in decades with tons of scraping, old windows that had to be re-puttied, etc etc. After 3-4 jobs where you've killed half your summer to get paid slave wages, you and your crew look through the other booked jobs. Yep - all $1200-$2000 jobs that were equally horribly estimated. Our entire crew walked off the job and went out on our own and found our own work based off folks who would see us working in the neighborhood. We didn't have the overhead of a College Pro and could quote based on reality to get the job done and actually get paid (and not feel pressured to do a half-a$$ed job to rush through). Almost 30 years later, these guys are still around. And here they are, trolling Glasssdoor to express their fake shock that people trash them out here with a promise to address it. If they addressed it, they would be out of business because you are the sucker.
