Pros

Work From Home- Flexible Hours

Cons

You are forced to do low paying reports as The Parent Company Kaufman owns several of the Companies AFIRM does reports for. Hourly Wage- is Deducted from commissions which is $10 an hour. so if you work 40 hours with calls, Audits/Inspections, write ups, drive time = $400 they don't pay you this in addition to commissions. They subtract- so If commissions were $1000, they only pay you $600 + the $10 an hr of $400-- VERY Misleading, Vacation or Sick Pay is Deducted from Commissions, Very Coercive & manipulating Mgmt. Threatening emails, Very Disturbing approach to management. The HR responses to all these comments here is only damage control with no change. You will get Tired & burnt out and very disappointed if you decide to work for AFIRM. They will always turn the screws- Pressure- Threaten you with Employment contract you agreed to it is relentless. Keep In mind the wear and tear, repairs, maintenance, tires ,Insurance, on your vehicle, Your Cell Phone costs, computer, paper, Ink. parking costs, tolls, + You will get calls at all hours even after you have done work from Customers, Agents, AFIRM Mgmnt. its Crazy!

Pros

There are no Pro's to being employed with Afirm Solutions

Cons

Its not a real job, it's a total scam. The company objective is to hire as many loss control surveyors as they can, have them perform as many audits as possible, before they realize they are working for less than minimum wage, and have to use their own vehicle, and home office supplies, which you are marginally compensated for. I ascertained in a week that this was a complete waste of my time and money. It was explained to me that if I was able to complete 3 surveys a day, or 15 in a week, I would average 75k to 80k annually, and if I was able to 4 a day, 20 in a week, I could expect to exceed 100k in annual earnings. The actual compensation for each survey is between $25 and $40, so at an average of less than $30 an audit, you would have to do 50 audits a week to earn $75k annually, and about 75 audits a week to earn 100k. Completely false of what you will be told by management. If you take into consideration your vehicle usage, time, tolls, and incidentals, you are working for FREE. Don't be fooled by the hype of working for an "established" company. This is nothing more than a legal scam that will frustrate you, lead you on, and deplete your finances, if you allow yourself to be tricked into working for this organization.

US Reports...don't do it!

Pros

There are very few pros for this type of work with this company. Perhaps the only positive is that there are some interesting places and operations to inspect.

Cons

Very poor pay that is very close to minimum wage given the time, travel and personal costs involved in doing this work. The reimbursement/pay model used by US Reports, along with the expectations of the field inspectors will keep this position from being attractive to any serious career minded person. Very poor response time from help desk and office staff.
