Well-Paid Maids’ long-time operations manager Ogi bid the company farewell this month. After 4.5 years, the team is bummed to see her go but excited for her next adventure. (See more on that below!)
To officially say goodbye, we caught up with Ogi for a bit of an unconventional exit interview.
Question: Tell us about your experience with Well-Paid Maids.
Answer: I started working as a cleaner. After about six months, I was promoted to operations manager.
I enjoyed every moment at Well-Paid Maids. It’s a company with a great mission, and it takes good care of employees. They constantly raised my salary and the hourly wage of cleaners based on the economy and the quality of our work.
No employee is left behind. They talk to every employee individually and listen to their concerns and problems and take immediate action. This includes:
- Reducing hours as needed.
- Taking a company-paid taxi to work when they have car problems.
- Giving them smaller jobs if they’re no longer able to work long hours due to health or other reasons.
I only mentioned a few of the great things Well-Paid Maid does. There are too many awesome things the company does for its employees and customers to list.
Q: What was your favorite part of working at Well-Paid Maids?
A: They take good care of every single employee.
Q: How did Well-Paid Maids compare to prior work experiences?
A: It is a very well-organized and well-managed company. As a manager, I never felt like I needed to constantly ask my boss for instructions. I had all the authority to properly manage employees and also handle any situations/problems happening to both customers or employees.
Q: Describe Well-Paid Maids in three words.
A: Well-managed, caring and a company with a great mission!
Q: Would you recommend Well-Paid Maids as an employer to your friends?
A: DEFINITELY.
Q: Tell us a little bit about your new venture. (Congrats, by the way!)
A: Thank you! I am starting a new business selling various products on Amazon. I don’t have a store set up yet — it’s a work-in-progress!
Thanks for sharing your experience, Ogi! You’ll be missed!

We’re about a month out from summer. That means you’ve still got time for spring cleaning!
Lexi Grant, an operations manager at Well-Paid Maids, shared her go-to spring cleaning tips with WTOP News. Step one? Declutter. Get rid of items you don’t use, find space for items that need a home and organize those areas.
Then, it’s time to dust. Lexi starts with high-touch surface areas (think: refrigerator, dishwasher, counters, microwave). One area she sees often neglected is the bedroom — and it makes sense. Heavy furniture is difficult to move around, but it’s important to really get in there so dust doesn’t affect your sleep.
