Pros

flexibility is the only good thing about the job

Cons

one day they'll be sued - I have to use my personal car, internet, computer, phone and credit cards when traveling... their reimbursement rate for mileage is 15-35 cents/mile (um, federal rate is 55.5?). Plus they don't "count" the first/last 20 miles of driving or the first/last hour. For people who are used to minimum wage jobs, this seems like a dream... but I'm making 12 bucks an hour - with expensive benefits and pay out the yazoo for car maintenance/gas/etc... driving about 3k/mo for work... oh, had to get a new car too, because during work hours my car was totaled (acosta didn't care)... like I said, one day they'll be sued for their absolutely horrendous expectations for those of us who are in the field.... I would NOT recommend this company in any manner whatsoever.
