Pros
Working from home is an obvious positive, and the hourly wage alone is more than the usual hourly wage for most jobs where I live. I would stay as long as I could for those two reasons, but feeling challenged and encouraged both by my colleagues and managers has lit a fire in me. It's not an easy job, but my desire to be good at it is driven by the incredibly positive and wonderfully competitive atmosphere created in this remote space I share with my team. Individual success means we carry a winning record as a team.
Cons
I feel like thick skin and a nice smile are part of my "uniform" in this position. It's not an easy job, however non-laborous it may be. Cold calling can be exhausting and the numbers game can have anyone feeling defeated if you let it. Trusting what those around you have to offer as truth from their own experience is paramount to one's ability to stay the course. Possessing a competitive edge and developing a positive mental outlook are advantageous traits in this position.
