Is housekeeping a good job?

There are positive and negative aspects to housekeeping. Many housekeepers and maids find the job to be low-stress, but there is little room for upward mobility or flexibility. You are often required to put in long shifts for very little pay, and the job can be dirty and unpleasant at times. If you work for a large hospitality company, you may be able to join a union, which can provide you with more job security and benefits than many housekeepers have.
