Pros
Fairly simple work for ok pay. Memorize product specs and engage members. Work is flexible and fun. WDS staff is great to work with. Check in system is quick and efficient.
Cons
Often very little notice. Sometimes you put in for a date and don't hear back unless you are booked. Sometimes they don't tell you when you are booked for weeks. A lot of paperwork for what you do, which must be faxed in to what must be a very old fax system, since the line is often busy for a long time. Pay is often not on time and the checks do not note what dates pay is for, only when it was sent. Sometimes several people are booked for the same gig and someone has to go home. WDS managers consider having us in working an imposition. Often they don't know we are coming, sometimes there are no samples or demo materials.
