Pros
Full-time work offers benefits, but expensive ones. Friendly and professional coworkers, solo work. Merit raises (3% max).
Cons
Benefits and full-time hours available based on a corporate office business calculation, or the client's allowance, depending on who you ask. Grossly underpaid to the point of an unlivable wage. Work demands exponentially increase. Performance measure constantly shifts to new markers, so achievement very difficult. No raises or cost of living adjustments, but merit pay of up to 3% if you 'try' hard enough (no one ever defines this). Very few praises of any kind for excellent work. Mileage compensation is $0.16 below IRS standard. No reimbursement for gas or wear and tear (tires, oil changes, etc.). Requires you to provide full coverage insurance for work (if your personal carrier finds out, they WILL drop you). No respect shown to employees at all. Team conference calls used to imply and intimidate high performers into ‘admitting’ their reporting is a lie (and some do lie, but most make 'mistakes' although the wrong info received was never on the part of the info provider). Have been emailed about 'corrections' to my reporting on jobs deliberately undone by store personnel (photograph and signature records mean nothing). Employee 'anonymous surveys' tied to in house assigned email address. How anonymous is that?
