Inspection Depot

in reality if you work by your self, u can only make the amount they advertise if you dont have to do reports, if reports are included then you actually make about $2 -$8 hr. 
uploading 200 pictures per inspection can take over an hour, labeling and chronographically arranging the pictures can take another 2 hours, then the research, scheduling and additional documents u need to download for each job can take hours or even days. 

if you work as a team, you make a reasonable income, however you gotta travel all around florida and take whatever they give you for work, that can cause alot of wear and tear on your vehicle, high fuel expenses and u may even need to add hotel/motel expenses, that you dont get reimbursed for. 
one good benifit is that you will meet some fantastic mind blowing connections, and most likely wont have to suffer with bad pay for too long. you will gain experience in real estate photography with your camera and drone. 
if you can pull through a couple weeks or months with the worst pay you will ever make, put an effort into making connections and youll do pretty good for yourself. 

The pay for this work is extremely low and, in many cases, simply not worth the time or effort you put into it. At first glance, it might seem like an easy way to make money, but once you factor in the real costs, the situation becomes much less appealing. Maintaining your drone alone can become expensive over time, with regular wear and tear, repairs, replacement parts, and software updates adding up quickly. On top of that, you also have to consider the ongoing cost of fuel or transportation just to travel back and forth to job sites. 
These expenses can easily eat into your earnings, leaving you with very little actual profit at the end of the day. What seems like a decent rate upfront quickly diminishes when all these hidden costs are taken into account. Ultimately, you may find yourself investing more money, time, and energy than you are truly getting back, making the job unsustainable in the long run.


Working with Inspection Depot has been a great experience! I have been with the company for 3+ years now and I enjoy working there. Yes, sometimes it is stressful, but there is always something that needs to be done. My co-workers are amazing and very helpful as well as the management. 

There's a lot of multitasking with the job and A LOT of different hats to wear, but it makes you a lot more knowledgeable with what you need to know, what you didn't know and what you should know. All in all if you want to stay busy and learn all about home insurance and buying a home this a great environment! There's not much advancement, but there are many ways to be sure you keep your job. It's all about the type of person you are.

The wear and tear on your equipment is not worth it for the pay. My drone batteries consistently reached over 60°C on a daily basis, hovering over hot tile roofs, taking pictures. 60°C can start a fire in your drone pretty quickly. I was lucky. The report that they require for each home is extensive and very time-consuming. This is not just a fly your drone and take pictures kind of gig. With the cost of fuel, the cost of liability insurance , the wear on the drone and the batteries more importantly, is not worth the trouble. There’s a lot of folks looking to do work with their drone, and there’s a lot of companies looking to take advantage of that situation. And believe me, you will be taken advantage of with this company . Be cautious.  


The day was managed juggling the meriod of responsibilities tasked that had nothing to do with your position. Wearing many hats but no title but this allowed  for knowledge and experience growth. Working with my co-workers was an enjoyable part of my interactions within the company. The most difficult aspect of the employment was receiving a task from the CEO without having any clear instruction as to what he wanted. Completing the task as best possible and the result not being satisfactory for the CEO, then again with out a clear idea as to what the CEO wants trying to make magic. I loved performing the duties related to my position and interacting with my co-worker.

I’m a drone pilot, not an inspector. The job description does not match the duties they expect from you. Virtually no training is offered other than an initial teams meeting showing the website. 

You will easily have more than 4 hrs of work when you’re finished at a property in which the gas money comes from your pocket. The description said 25-30hr…not only 70 dollars per inspection. 
Nothing is explained thoroughly. 

If you’re looking for some extra cash and have A LOT of free time, this may be the gig for you, but as a side hustle…the juice is not worth the squeeze.  

If you’re a drone pilot in any capacity, STAY AWAY FROM THIS ORGANIZATION, it is not what it seems to be. 

Much more is expected of you then just flying a drone for photos. There is a good deal of paperwork and a lot of scheduling and rescheduling with policyholders.  On average, each assignment takes 3 to 4 hours to complete, taking into account travel, onsite inspection, and report preparation for submission. You are paid a fixed amount. 
Drone pilots are penalized for not completing an assignment on time. The pay does not match the work involved and you are not compensated for all the driving. After assessing all costs, you barely make anything. 

Excellent teammates make working fun.

Sometimes get really busy and a lot of phone calls coming in.

Culture is very positive.
Hardest part of job; sometimes high call volume and scheduling inspections in certain areas can be difficult.

Enjoy the people the most.

Good experience for the field adjuster to see the other side of the business and know what the desk adjuster needs from you to make settling the claims easy. Tough on anyone used to moving around and having some freedom. Sitting 10 hours getting yelled at on the phone is tough.

Company is very unstructured and not worth the application. Management is rude to employees and will let tenured employees get away with things that is frowned upon. Not recommended for minorities as you are only there to make the company look diversified but will be treated differently.
