This allows for complete flexibility in deciding your schedule. Lastly, of there is a day you need off, or a vacation planned, you have the ability to get shift coverage from your fellow CO workers and the assistance of management and do not have to put in specific requests for time off. Your time off can be as little or as much as you decide it needs to be. 7. Entrepreneurship- You are a w2 employee, with the benefits of being your own entrepreneur. You work your normal hours and shifts, but you also have the ability to build your own book of business with family, friends, people you meet outside of work, and even companies with Verizon service.

Cons
1. Paid Time Off- Even though you have full flexibility of your schedule and taking time off when your life dictates it, there is no version of paid time off. You get the shifts covered that you need, and then you try and plan ahead and pick up shifts in advanced or you pick up more shifts after your vacation. 2. Weekends/Holidays- This is a retail sales position which means the stores are open on the weekends and holidays. If you are scheduled to work, you are required to be there. The positive to this is that the most amount of customer traffic and opportunity to make money is on the weekends and a lot of times holidays because people are off of normal work hours.
