Is Window Cleaning a Good Job?
This is not your typical 9-5 job. It doesn’t require any experience or formal education, so it's easy to become a window cleaner. The job does require you to be in good physical condition since you’ll be on your feet and climbing up and down ladders. The owner or manager will train you on everything you’ll need to know. Most FISH franchise locations put new technicians through a two-week training to ensure they know all the proper safety procedures and how to use the equipment.
If you are looking for a new job but aren’t sure if it is right for you, here is a list of reasons why becoming a window cleaning technician may or may not be the right decision.
Reasons why window cleaning technician might be the right job for someone:
- No experience needed- Freedom, flexibility, autonomy
