Pros

- The pay. Definitely did not earn that much working per hour. - Flexible hours. Pretty could as many hours as I wanted. Generally went out 4-6 hours a day. - You do work alone. Which is a benefit if you prefer it that way. - Despite living in my state all my life went into some areas I have never been too. - Met some interesting people. All walks of life.

Cons

- Such a short period of time being employed (Little over 2 months.) - Not everyone will comply with wanting to do the survey. Actually a majority didn't. Had plenty of people slam the door in my face. Others were very vocal about being anti-government.

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.
