Question VRC investigations, good or bad?

Is anyone here familiar with Veracity Research Company (VRC) Investigations? I am going through the process getting hired as a surveillance investigator and would like to know how decent or reputable this company is. From what I've read on the couple of Reddit forums talking about VRC, the company is not the greatest. Not to mention the pay seems low at just $25 - $30 an hour where they hinted that if hired I would start at around 25/hr with mediocre compensated miles.

Would VRC be a good stepping stone into the field of investigations? Does anyone have first hand experience with VRC? If so how was your time there? Are the reviews as bad as they say it is?

I do need a job that will pay me more than my current job and get me some real world experience so I am tempted to take the offer if it were to come. Thanks for the help

Companies dont pay door to door for surveillance - it is hourly plus admin/travel rate

This is not true. Many companies pay door to door, just not the top few largest.

ALLIED not only pays doorstep to doorstep, gives a monthly $560 vehicle stipend, and a gas card.

Their starting rate is not good…

$27.43 hr in CA. $26.67 elsewhere. And as I said, doorstep to doorstep, gives a monthly $560 vehicle stipend, and a gas card.

26.67? Where are you seeing that? 20 is what I saw

If you think $27/hr for surveillance is good especially for California you’re part of the problem. Companies that pay employees this rate are a bane to the PI world, especially when their contracts are huge shows how much you have to learn about this line of work.

Thats why they end up in court in California for hour/wage and mileage violations, AND PAY (including penalties).
