How bad was this drywall hung?

I recently paid a supposedly high level company to hang and mud drywall. The quality of work with hanging has me very concerned for how it will look in the future. Would you have the company rehang this? Or trust the finisher?

Not the best and not the worst.
in the hands of the finisher now.. glad it is not me...
looks like framing mite have been a tad crooked, from the router out in place marks, and all the screws to hold up on warped rafters. looks like they did everything they could to get it tight to me. hard to say with just pics though. dont look too bad to this old finisher. those lil gaps arent spit. i could show you bad drywall hanging, believe me. lol if only i could post pics from my memory. lol in time i suppose that will be possible.

not a fan of screws in angles or on butts but it gets done all the time. as long as its tight good to go. imo
I'm just a DIY guy. But this is atrocious. Is that what PRO means? Do whatever as fast as possible, disregarding quality completely, and leaving all the problems for the next trade person to deal with? I'd definitely talk to the boss man. As well, keep documenting, I see some uphill battle in your near future.

Fingers crossed your finisher doesn't have a Trypophobia.

Well, I wouldn't accept such a job, that's for sure. Some of the seams will definitely be cracked. Since plasterboard needs to be expanded and hammered with a special mortar for joints. It is more resistant to deformation.

Not the worst. But I wouldn't recommend.
Is there an update to this? Hope it got better because it looks odd.
