Challenging and rewarding job; however, as an independent contractor, lacks career advancement opportunity.
Pros: salary, flexibility, and challenging.
Cons: lack of job security, no guarantee of steady employment, highly competitive, temporary position.
I believe the company's hiring process is fair. Each applicant is screened, tested and selected based upon his/her education, skills and exam performance. Depending upon the position applied for, the applicant is tested and judged primarily upon his/her superior test score.
In terms of employer/employeee interaction, I believe management makes substantial
– more... efforts to communicate with its subordinates throughout the hiring and active employment processes. However, after the final stages of administering exams, and returning exam materials, I believe Prometrics supervisors should provide immediate verbal feedback to its company exam administrators, or testing consultants. The success of the entire operation depends upon the skills, aptitude and dependability of people like myself who are trained and paid to register and guide exam candidates throughout each step of this highly complex process. The success of each candidate depends upon the adept execution of my leadership skills as their supervisor.
This is why I believe the company should maintain open lines of communication with its testing consultants throughout his/ her employment with Prometric--regardless if his/her status is permanent or temporary. In so doing, the professional testing consultant can easily gain personal satisfaction and the reassurance of knowing he/she has done a great job before their written issuance of our evaluation. I feel the month long waiting period for our scorecard performance assessment is stressfully too long.
Still, the salary is outstanding; compensation for the purchase of additional supplies is rewarded and the wait between task performance and receipt of payment for services rendered is reasonable. – less
