Pros

Great environment, good teammates, opportunities to grow

Cons

A full-time offer for hourly employees does not guarantee that you have hours to charge every week. Your year salary will be reduced to 70-80% due to not lack of work and the vacation and wellness days will be used to maintain your benefits since we must charge minimum hours per week to maintain, but you may not have these minimum hours from time to time.

Pros

Travel to places you don't know they exist

Cons

1. Short notice to report to a field office (often within 24 hours) with little to no idea of what to expect, where you will be working, where you will stay, or how long your deployment will last. Work allocation is entirely management-driven, meaning you can sit without any assignments for months or even a year. 2. Unfair Quality Control: Quality control (QC) inspectors often create unnecessary friction. Reviews and corrections are frequently based on subjective bias or a complete lack of knowledge—such as out-of-state QC inspectors overriding local inspectors who actually understand the regional context and situation. 3. Deeply Inequitable Work Distribution: The process for assigning work lacks fairness. It is not uncommon to be released and sent home just a week after starting before you're getting up to speed—while new cohorts of inspectors continue to arrive for training. Internal Work Competition: QC inspectors who have been in the field for months are competing for active assignments when the workflow slows down.
