I know the company well enough to mention the opportunity.

I sure didn’t fall in love with it. We went to Waikiki and all it was was green, no color

Oahu is as beautiful as they get, but it's not found in the cities, rather the north and east shores
Kauai's north shore is my fave

Kauai has the nicest and cleanest beaches.. Oahu's north shore has the cleanest water.. All I know is, it's not all that it's hyped up to be..

Kidnapped maids too
$20 per hr to work in HI? Damn. Id rather work in LA for that money. At least LA has great Mexican food. Not trying to be rude but whoever thought that add might work has probably lost touch with reality. Or they will get what they are asking for......A $20 per hr employee. No thanks. Not in my home. Covering expenses is likely a wash as the employee is living somewhere already. And at $20 per hour they certainly aren't covering many expenses at home. But maybe I'm wrong. Stanley Steamer is still in business after all.

Turns out the reason they need new workers is ICE kidnapped a whole crew.
Who were there for over two years "legally" but not US citizens, through a work program set up under the Biden administration, all of whom were good honest, hard-working people. They didn't hop a wall or swim there after all..
Very sad for those HUMANS looking for something better.
My sister in law leaves on Monday with a 90 day commitment.
I suspect they'll offer her a manager position quickly.

What's sad is that the Biden administration exploited people.

I owned a carpet cleaning business on Maui for years. It was really good in some ways, really bad in others. Houses were like half a million for a piece of junk then, probably at least double now. People are seriously crazy there. Like, absolutely insane. I'm from Indiana and people there are mostly decent and act normal. The parking was extremely tight everywhere, tourists would call me yelling at me for running a truckmount while theyre trying to vacation. Working for the ultra wealthy homeowners, if they were present, was the worst. Have to be extremely careful everywhere, and all their furniture is easy to ruin and difficult to clean.
The great parts were amazing weather 24/7. Sunshine all the time. And most of the work was empty condos. I would get sent lists by condo managers of several places they needed done and when to do them. Also, most carpets there were not very dirty. You would clean the same condos once or twice a year, and they were just grimey from sunscreen, occasional spills, and some sand. There was also a ton of work and me and every other guy on the island stayed too busy to keep up. Never had to worry about having enough jobs.
In the midwest, you might clean a nice house thats fairly clean in the morning, and then next you're at a low income apartment that was smoked in, with dog pee, bed bugs, 50 red kool aid stains, gum stuck to the carpet, and 20 degrees outside. Lots of good and bad in both places.
