Not worth your time stay away if you have another choice.

Pros

Flexiable schedule and that is the only ositive thing I can think of and even then its a stretch.

Cons

Not worth your time. No gas mileage paid out really. Some of the work given is below minimum wage 15 minutes task or 45minute tasks doesnt even work out to 11.25 and hour. Defiently a low end company maybe ok as a start level even then DONT DO IT. All materials shipped to your home every little thing which should be shipped directly to the store as your not compensated for storage. When you do complete a job you could wait 3 qeeks to be paid as they go by a pay wave so if you complete it on Mar 1 yet its not due until Mar 18 you wait to be paid out. Its ridiculas. I expect to be paid when I complete thr job, not when your pay wave ends! Reporting sometimes takes anywhere from .5 to hr depending on what you need to report on. Paperwork printing is essential to this type of job yet its barely enough compensation too make you bother to print a darn thing.
