Pros

+Work is always something different. Get to work with technology and do everything from basic auditing to hands-on repair and updating on interactive retail displays. +Excellent work/life balance. 95% of the time you can schedule the assignments most days of the week any time you want within a 2 week period. Rescheduling is extremely easy too. +Territory of work is fair. I never had to drive very far to my locations. +Instructions are detailed and in-depth. There is a provided rep hotline if I run into any issues. +Their main scheduling site if very functional and mobile-friendly. +There are some perks. One of the websites for special deals for Actionlink employees doesn't seem to work. But the other one I did got me a discount off park tickets which is cool.

Cons

-Very very little hours. I'm talking on average 5-8 a week. You will definitely need another part time job if you take this position. -They reimburse mileage by driving per hour. Which makes no sense since traffic heavily varies and is replanned by a Google maps plugin for estimated time. -A lot of extra expenses. I needed to buy about $70 worth of tools and equipment I didn't already have. A lot of printing is also required unless you have a smartphone and tablet to mark PDF files with. In the end, you can easily break even with your checks or even go negative with your own work expenses if you don't plan carefully. It's a good idea to plan as many visits per day as possible so you can get the driving reimbursement. Going to just one store in one day won't reimburse you. -The rep hotline is either quickly responsive or has a long wait time. If you are on hold for longer than 8 minutes then you are automatically disconnected and have to dial back in again. -There is no flat payment per assignment. It's all hourly which is bogus. If you have a real technical assignment that involves removing a heavy display, taking it apart, adding hardware, changing graphics, and putting it back all while sweating in your work clothes; it will pay you the same if you were to do a simple audit that took just as long to complete. We are the only people that can update these major company's displays reliably, thus, we should get paid like it. Otherwise they can just rely on retailers to do it all and risk losing their update kits among the backroom stock.
