Pros

I received many on-the-job specialization opportunities that I took and used to develop better professional skills. I was able to work from literally anywhere I could find reliable internet and power.

Cons

They do not pay you very well in comparison to similar skilled positions. The scheduling was inflexible and if you lost internet for reasons outside of your control, my direct supervisor was not understanding.
