Pros

flexible, at night and the stories and guests are great

Cons

Went through an entire process of getting hired through coorperate, sending in audition videos and then a final audition of yourself giving the entire tour. Both my auditions were accepted and positive feedback was give from coorperate. Then I went to audition in person with a Tour Guide. She showed up late for my audition, did not give me anyy time to prove to her that I could tell the stories (was only given 15 minutes to tell a script thats lasts and hour) and then told that I failed the in person audition because the stories were "too rushed and incomplete" which was not at all my fault. We then scheduled another time to meet for another audition and I was stood up by the tour guide with only a few minutes notice, saying she did not have time again to do my audition) After 3 months I was never paid a dime for learning a 30 page script and preforming it and the local tour guide will not give me the time of day to schedule a new one because she "never has time" They should really have someone from the company who's job it is to do audition tours and interviews and not leave that job to the tour guides who are also not getting paid for that time, which is likely why they dont show up. This job was a complete waste of time and even though it sounds really fun and the stories are captivating and intriguing, I would not recommend that anyone waste their time.

Pros

I LOVED working for US Ghost Adventures. My job was to write and edit ghost stories as part of the script a ghost tour guide would give to their customers. The editor I worked with was fantastic--so understanding, clear with the company's expectations, and, above all, fair. The work was intense, involving deep research, and writing a certain kind of "spooky" ghost story. Because each script needed 7-10 stories, it was difficult writing new, unique stories. But as I had never worked as a storyteller, it kept me on my toes and gave me valuable experience.

Cons

Considering the intensity of the work, the pay-per-hour should be a bit higher. In addition, when I was hired, I wasn't told that the work was seasonal. In February, I was informed that the work would be ending in March. I was sooooo disappointed. Hoping to be rehired this fall.

Pros

Can make your own hours. Booking app and customer relations hotline make things easy.

Cons

Employer skims the vast majority of the ticket revenue. No pay per guest -- just a flat rate per tour regardless of how many guests are booked. Was supposed to receive a t shirt, a lantern, and EMF detectors, but they never arrived. So I run in period garb. At my own expense. I'm about to go freelance because aside from the nationally recognized name and the Xola booking app, USGA is a net negative to my bottom line.
