A Pontins cleaner quit the holiday park just two days after she got the job as chalets were in a "filthy" state with dirty nappies, mould, rust and urine stains. <\/p>\n

Mary got herself a job working at Pontins Camber Sands resort as a cleaner where she was expected to sweep through a chalet in 20 to 30 minutes. <\/p>\n

She claims one chalet was "littered" with a baby\u2019s dirty nappies, while others "stunk of tobacco" and had a bath that was "rusted and had black mould."<\/p>\n

The job wasn\u2019t worth the \u00a35 an hour she was being paid, she told the Mirror, and quit after two days work at the resort. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On her first day Mary, whose name has been changed for protection, claims she was given "15 chalets that needed to be cleaned" and "all the cleaning was rushed."<\/p>\n

She said there was no way cleaners were given enough time to do a proper job and claims management "doesn't care" about the state of the park. <\/p>\n

Mary said: "On my first day I was paired with someone and we had a list of about 15 chalets that needed to be cleaned.<\/p>\n

"We\u2019d have around 20 to 30 minutes max to clean each one. All the cleaning was rushed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"One of the chalets had been littered with dirty baby nappies and stunk of tobacco."<\/p>\n

Mary also claims the park, which has received a flurry of bad reviews online, was "not organised" and wasn't "told what chemicals I would be using and how to keep safe."<\/p>\n

She said: "Most people I know who've worked there lasted only a week because it was so chaotic. On my first day I had no training and wasn't told anything. It was a very hands-on job with very low pay.<\/p>\n

"There was a big shed where cleaning supplies were and it was not organised at all.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"I was not told what chemicals I would be using and how to keep safe whilst using those chemicals, either.<\/p>\n

"The most explaining I was given was an unlabelled bottle and someone telling me, this blue one cleans the bathrooms."<\/p>\n

The condition of the chalets were so bad that Mary felt like she wouldn't have it in her to stay on at a place so dirty and managers that lacked motivation.<\/p>\n

She claims: "There was one bath, it was rusted and had black mould. Toilets were dusty and had urine on the outside of the toilet bowl. Tables were sticky."<\/p>\n
