Would You Take This Job? – Notary Public

Notary Public

Employer: Suzy’s auto tag @ Notary
Location: Greensburg, PA (in person)
Pay: $15.00 - $20.00 per hour
Type: Full-time — Notary Public / PennDOT agent processing

What You’ll Do:
• Perform notarial acts (witness signatures, administer oaths, certify documents).
• Review PennDOT and title paperwork for accuracy prior to notarization.
• Maintain organized records of all notarized documents and transactions.
• Research and resolve document discrepancies as needed.
• Provide customer service to clients, answering questions and guiding them through forms and procedures.

Why It Stands Out:
Check paid weekly and commission + tips potential — useful if you prefer faster cash flow.
• Work centers on PennDOT/title work — good for candidates who enjoy transactional, document-focused roles.
• Employer explicitly encourages applications from people with criminal records (if that’s relevant to you).
• Clear path to practical, community-facing work with steady walk-in customers.

Potential Trade-offs:
• Pay is modest ($15–$20/hr) — may be below comparable professional hourly roles in some markets.
• Must be (or become) PennDOT Agent trained — training time/cost and certification are required if not already held.
• Job is in-person and customer-facing — requires consistent reliability, patience, and close attention to detail.
• Workload and income may depend on customer volume (commissions/tips can be variable).

Qualifications / Requirements:
• Active Notary commission (required).
PennDOT Agent trained or ability/willingness to obtain that training.
• Strong knowledge of PennDOT and title-processing procedures (or capacity to learn quickly).
• Excellent customer service, research, and documentation skills.
• High attention to detail and strong organizational habits.

Perks / Benefits:
• Weekly pay schedule.
• Commission and tip opportunities to supplement base pay.
• Opportunity to build practical expertise in PennDOT/title processing — useful for similar positions or small-business ownership.

Would you take this job?
Which of these three would be your deal-breaker if you were applying: (A) a guaranteed hourly minimum or clearer commission formula, (B) employer-paid PennDOT training and certification, or (C) a flexible schedule that avoids peak rush/late nights? Tell me which you’d pick and why — and add one question you’d ask the employer before accepting (for example: training reimbursement, average weekly customer volume, or schedule predictability).

I worked at a PennDOT agent in Latrobe and a laminated MV-1/MV-4ST checklist on the counter saved me from most rejections — titles love to hide missing signatures like socks in a dryer. At $15–$20, I’d ask @Suzy if they cover your PA commission, bond/E&O, and the Agent Services training, otherwise those costs come out of you. Also confirm who reconciles plate/sticker inventory daily so you’re not stuck staying late.
