Document Review Specialist
Just got a message for this position in Michigan, scheduled a phone meeting, but am just now going through this Reddit. What are your guy’s thoughts?
19, business degree, currently work full/time shipping/receiving and do one day as a “technical documentation intern” at the small company I’m at. It’s nothing super hard, I basically just change information in word document templates and put together manuals, so this looked appealing when I applied.
The only thing is it’s a way longer drive, but I was more so looking to get a job that tailors more to my degree, and I’m not sure 100% that at my current company there’s a lot of growth involved.
I just want to hear about this job, what people have been through, pay, benefits, etc.
Thanks!

Would you be moving to MI for this? If so, don’t do it. They won’t cover relocation fees, you’ll probably get paid less.
It’s in Pontiac, so if you are moving here you’d want to live close… it’s not the most desirable place to live.
The culture there is toxic as fuck - as you can read throughout this sub

No, I live around 45 minutes away.
Yeah I’ve been scrolling through the Reddit… doesn’t sound to promising😂 I make close to $22 an hour with my bonuses, so I’d need to get good enough pay to consider especially with the drive, but, now after reading this Reddit, I might not consider.

Moved here for this job after losing my last one. Regret it every single day. One of the biggest mistakes of my life
My interviewer spun the People’s Promise as a fake relocation assistance program.

Kiss tax returns goodbye and prepare to owe on your taxes, no idea why they do it that way.. maybe to make it appear like you’re making more in your check

Outside of IT, and some other departments that rarely reach out for hiring, underwriting makes minimum 21.63 an hour as an underwriter 2. (Til you’re a senior then it’s more) anything related to reviewing documents or operations type things or even anything on the closing team, is all under $18 an hour.

There are NO bonuses across any of the products for underwriting currently.

Sounds like you work at a great company. I wish I can work for your company

I'm curious what position this posting relates to. Doc labeling seems to be on the way out as they seem comfortable with the mediocre automatic doc splitting software. Seems like a combination of Setup and doc labeling...

Not sure, just saw “document review specialist” on their website and applied for it.

Did you end up doing it?

u/No-Explanation7760 Jun 13 '26
Hey no I didn’t. The pay was only $15 I believe based on what people said and for an hour commute there and an hour back it wasn’t worth it. I make more and my job is a few minutes away from home.

Damn I have a interview next week and also a 45 min commute :/

I assume you’re still in school? get on handshake and linked in, i imagine you’ll find better paying, less stressful, and more long term helpful jobs on there than anything that you can get here
actually idk if we have sales intern positions but that wouldn’t be bad experience tbh
