Pros

Flexible hours ability to make however much you want Good training

Cons

You basically run your own business, which means out of pocket for almost everything. Benefits outside of healthcare and 401k are very small. The don't even offer free coffee. At the end of the day, its all about production. If you don't produce and make sales like a big shot, you are overlooked. No real chance of promotion. You can only grow in this job, which gets very frustrating after a few years, especially with the fact the compensation decreases as you get more years in. After your 4th year, you pay for everything. Work space, secretary, paper, etc. All this is taking out of your commision pool....up to 1,000/month

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
