You start hourly for a 90-day probationary period, after that you get paid based on how many prices you enter (piece rate). If you aren't fast enough by the time 90 days rolls around, expect a significant pay cut.
Again, the flexibility is somewhat of a downside if you are bad at time management or a procrastinator. You'll think "Oh, I have 6 days to do this small job, I'll do it tomorrow," but that is a bad idea. It's wise to do it right away, because they will always try to pile more things on you and you won't have time to do that small job later.
I received NO training. I had to TRAIN MYSELF and guess how to do the job. I never met any of the management in person; however, I did meet other data collectors out in the field. In my time there, the district manager quit or was terminated (not sure which), and his job was split up between three other senior managers for the interim. Their lack of knowledge of the territory was rather frustrating.
I was asked to leave many stores, which is kind of embarrassing. You have to be kicked out twice before they will assign your job to someone else. You are also out the money you would have made, or they will send you to another nearby store where it can happen again.
Do not do this job if you lease your vehicle, you will go over on your miles. Tons of driving from store to store.
