Pros

This is a remote position and you work from home. The territory in which you work defines how much over night travel is needed. The auditor sets the work schedule according to the number of average audit hours must be completed per day. 18 days of paid time off per year starting the first year. 401K Upward movement available

Cons

A normal pay period can be between 100-130 hours and no compensation. When you get home there is still work to complete and can take any where from .5 to 2 hours or more. You do not get administrative time to complete work schedules. Work schedules need to be complete for rolling 90 days, and then the schedule will be added to and rework needs to be completed to accomplish the mission. The company is more reactive than proactive.
