It was the only company I worked for that paid less than what is now Snap Audits. I'd never been forced to prove I had workers comp/liability insurance before, as a person. If I didn't get it I would be charged, I don't know, 3% of my check. They gave absolutely zero heads-up about where a 'person' could get that kind of insurance combo. I wasn't a business making enough money to pay insurances, they certainly weren't paying enough to pay insurance. I had to pay almost 8% sales tax plus income taxes already out of the $9 or $10.00 an hour they were paying and they had zero mileage/distance fee..... ever.
Plus, the representative who was calling about assignments was a gripy-manipulative twit. This wasn't a company where you could look on their job board and choose what assignments you wanted to take either. They would call you and basically say you were the person they were assigning the job to. If I wasn't going to be anywhere in the area I wouldn't take it and the Rep would say all sorts of insulting things to me like "that is why you don't get work from other companies" and "don't you want to be able to pay your rent" and "what else do you have to do?". Like she had the power, and the phone numbers, to blackball me in the lower-end, actually lowest-end, merchandising world.
Then, I would take an assignment and I was subject to a Lego-Reps (who's company currently offers jobs at $9.25 an hour-shame on them! for thinking they can) who was an immature, uneducated person who's focus was not on merchandising product to promote sales, but rather on proving they were "someone".
This company is like many others, basically just an employment agency, with not many real contracts of their own, that somehow gets away with hiring people as I.C. as opposed to employees. Another Southern States born shackling company.
And people take their work and their pay, so kudos to them!
