Pros

Limited ability to set own work schedule (when permitted by managers) Adequate but not great pay

Cons

Temporary positions / No benefits / Very poor local managers Constantly changing and often senseless work procedures Job (Crew Leader) often cannot be completed in the permitted time per week Payroll is often messed up, with pay delayed for weeks in some cases No support from upper management for the people in the field Requires the ability to turn off your brain and just do what you are told Requires the ability to watch gross inefficiency and waste (time and money) without the ability to make changes

I worked as a enumerator manager and it was fun work! My employees were fun and my managers were knowledgeable.

Pros

Worthwhile work to benefit the city you are working in. Most everyone I worked with was pretty nice and willing to lend a hand if needed. But I feel like I saw the other side of how upper management treats people they don't like as much and i saw aspects that weren't as good through upper managements treatment of others.

Cons

Constantly changing directives from upper management. And they don't have your back when you get questioned why you followed the most recent order from your boss. Inconsistent pay scales by position. Pay varies by location. But they don't adjust it upward. If you hire on in a city that pays less, you don't get a bump if you stay with the company and work in a new city that pays better in your next assignment. Meaning new hires with no experience can easily make more than you because they started in the city that pays more. One of my best employees was paid the least. I felt bad and tried to get their rate adjusted with no luck. It very much has the vibe of they are figuring out things as they go, The department is grossly understaffed. Technology is lacking creating inefficiencies.
