Pros
Not Much. Able to work out of my home office and make my own hours. Decent benefits, and reimbursment for mileage
Kontras
Worked for Rels for about 18 months and was recenlty "let go" due to working for outside appraisal companies on my own time and equipment. Why, because the pay here is horrible and I needed to supplement my income somehow. They take a fixed amount out of billings every two weeks amounting to $5600 off the top, then they pay you 40% of whats left over. Plus a bare minimum hourly wage. I have had busy weeks and my 2 week Net was not even half of my billings. Someone is racking it in, and it is not the appraiser. They only care about on time reports, not quality reports. They have a team of reviewers and managers that micro manage everything, and try to "persuade" you. Reported someone on apprasiser independence, 1 month later I am gone. No warnings, no discussions, no exit interview, very unprofessional atmosphere. Manager never returned calls or emails for imprortant issues. No vaction, no sick time, no holiday pay. Not allowed to decline reports. Basically a slave to the company 24/7.
