American greed is alive! Top managers are smiling and real estate appraisers have been pushed to the limit. - Staff Appraiser Rels Valuation Employee Review

I worked a later shift that accommodated the rest of my schedule. Training supplied was quick, but thorough. If successful in the first week or so, you will be trained for new responsibilities and work with another 'team' while still working for your original team. You get trained on basics and if you're good enough advance in skill level from there. This kept what may have become boring much more tolerable and engaging.

Contractor pay is low. I was hired through a staffing agency so I cannot speak to what benefits the company itself provides.

Not Much. Able to work out of my home office and make my own hours. Decent benefits, and reimbursment for mileage

Worked for Rels for about 18 months and was recenlty "let go" due to working for outside appraisal companies on my own time and equipment. Why, because the pay here is horrible and I needed to supplement my income somehow. They take a fixed amount out of billings every two weeks amounting to $5600 off the top, then they pay you 40% of whats left over. Plus a bare minimum hourly wage. I have had busy weeks and my 2 week Net was not even half of my billings. Someone is racking it in, and it is not the appraiser. They only care about on time reports, not quality reports. They have a team of reviewers and managers that micro manage everything, and try to "persuade" you. Reported someone on apprasiser independence, 1 month later I am gone. No warnings, no discussions, no exit interview, very unprofessional atmosphere. Manager never returned calls or emails for imprortant issues. No vaction, no sick time, no holiday pay. Not allowed to decline reports. Basically a slave to the company 24/7.
