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

Pros

Pay is decent, but no benefits as a part-time temporary employee. Paid mileage is a plus. Can make your own hours.

Cons

Much of the work is ridiculously unnecessary and a waste of taxpayer money. Also, if you don't like going door to door and dealing with irate people, this is NOT the job for you. It's like door-to-door sales. People are NOT happy to see you and usually want you to leave.
