      Not a bad Place to work for a quick money, but no incentives to stay.

      Pros

      Quick hiring process, but sometimes too quick. My hiring process was great, I actually had an orientation to attend and was given all of my equipment (mostly brand-new), but this was a few years ago. Eventually, I started helping with training for new employees in my area. There was no orientation and would be sent straight to the field. Half of the time the equipment they receive were worn down or even broken. Direct Deposit was never late, however, Expensify was (sometimes). Very easy job to learn and get good at (surprises me when I find reps who struggle with it). This job can make you feel like you are working for yourself. You do not have a manager directly over your shoulder every day, so the job is done really at your own pace. Can basically take a break whenever you need to. If you need supervision, then this job is not for you. It's a M-F job, regular business hours for you. Weekends are free.

      Cons

      Weather is a huge factor in this job. Since Xcite Advertising services car dealerships throughout the US, you could be potentially be taking pictures in 100+F heat or freezing weather. Protect yourself and your health. Getting assigned a good dealership almost feels like it's based on luck. Some dealerships have the worst people you would ever meet, while others are great. I've dealt with both and feel for the reps who have to report to a used car manager who treats you like a child. There are no bonuses, no incentives to stick around. Very little to no growth opportunities. You can potentially be putting a lot of miles on your car. While you get reimbursed for gas (about $.28/mile) you do not get any more for wear and tear on your car. Depending on your location, you might have to carry around an enormous printer. The company is a revolving door. Reps come in and out very frequently. No company outings/events, no bonuses. Sometimes, management wants you to take photos from 25-30feet away from the car. While this does make the pictures look significantly better, it's just not possible at every dealership. Management doesn't care and still want you to make it happen. Some managers don't even care about the quality of work, but just want you to hit the numbers.

      Pros

      Great company to work for. The work is not difficult but is rewarding if you have the right mentality. All equipment is provided. Decent pay for the work you do.

      Cons

      Working outside all day. Weather affects your work day - can't photograph cars in the rain. Benefits package is not very good.
