Pros
Managers trust you to do real work for clients, learn a lot about the industry, analyze a lot of data and by the end you feel pretty comfortable with property valuations.
Cons
The appraisal process can be a bit repetitive and often times there are problems/delays with the report that requires a much longer time for it to be completed. However, since you are only paid a fix rate per report, the longer you work on a report to ensure proper accuracy, the lower hourly wage you have. At the beginning, there is a 3 week training period in which you are unpaid. The training period should only last a week. By the second half of the training, I was comfortable doing real work yet was still not getting paid.
