To add to this thread .......
I am from the east and their scheduling is a mess. Yes I get email almost every other day from them. It is urgent. I really need your help yadiyadiyada ......
OK so I click on the link and make my pick. I don't get a a response for days. I even put it in the comments to please get back to me as I am in the area ...... no luck.
Also the fact that they are paying 60 days after a shop is completed also turns me off. Not that I need the money but it's just common courtesy. Technically if you complete a job at the beginning of the month, you will get paid after 3 months. Imagine your regular employer paying you 3 months after your job is done.
Also, the written works they required for the shops here is really bad. I don't have a big problem writing a big story from beginning to end under one section. They required the story to be broken down into different section. NO THANK YOU for the amount of remuneration.
