Since I filed my original complaint about Powerhouse Retail Services, they have gotten in touch with me about money owed to me. After some back-and-forth wrangling, they let me know that there was a "per diem" payment that they had not sent to me.
Surprisingly, their "per diem" payment was based on hours worked (which I have never heard of), and amounted to five dollars per hour worked. This made up the discrepancy between the ten dollars/hr originally paid to me, and the fifteen dollars/hr originally quoted. So the second check they sent me made up for that discrepancy.
So this is not a bad job to have, as long as
1) you don't mind hard manual labor (which I don't), and
2) you don't mind working the "graveyard" shift (which is not hard to get used to), and
3) you don't have any family or close friends to be away from for a couple of months.
Again, make sure you know what you're getting into with any new job, but especially if it's 400 miles from home!
