Pros

Great company where you get to be your own boss. You get to make your schedule, and can work where/ when you want. There’s no micromanaging and you get to travel as much as you’d like. Don’t get the job done? Let you supervisor know and they’ll move it to another week if possible.

Cons

The pay rate you’re told isn’t necessarily true. You’ll make $14-$16 an hour, but most jobs take less than 30-45 minutes to complete. Expect the majority of your pay to come from the $9 an hour you make while driving and doing supplemental work (logging time, filling out paperwork, etc.) I was driving almost 2 hours for jobs that took 15 minutes, then driving 2 hours back to do 4 jobs in my area. So in those days, I was getting paid $9 for 4 hours of my day, and $14 an hour for the 15 minutes the job took. Also, be prepared to head to the same location for the same job multiple times. Locations will lose or throw away products and then get upset with you for bothering them about it. Actionlink and those in management roles within the company are great, however, I can’t say the same for most of the managers in the stores I visited.
