Pros
-Make your own hours -Managers generally understading -Can make good money on a very good day -Can do other things while working
Cons
-Paid by commission. You can do amazing one day and make good money but then if you do bad another day it balances out so you generally never make more than base pay -Probing: you have to get a specific answer an If you don't you have to probe the respondent and this can make them very angry -You get yelled at by respondents multiple times a day -you can spend 10 mins on a survey and if they don't make it to a certain point you don't ger credit -they say you are guaranteed minimum wage if you don't make the quota. But if you have a few bad weeks you can get fired -it's more luck than skill. There is some skill to getting people to do it. But it's generally about who you call -after about a month or two of working there, it gets extremely tedious -open from 4pm to 11pm on week days so you have to stay late to get a lot of hours -open during the day on weekends but it's a lot harder to do well becusse no one wants to do a survey on the weekend -they make it sound nice because you can do homework or read while you work, but it nearly impossible to do that while calling people -if you aren't a "tracker" you don't have a desk. You have to find a new one everyday -people sit at other peoples desks and use their headsets which is very unsanitary -you have no actual break time. You can take a break whenever you want but it counts as non dial time and takes away from your percentage for the day -most surveys are 10+ minutes. Most people don't want to spend that much time answering questions -you aren't even allowed to tell the people the specific topic of the survey which turns people off -commission seems nice, but you could work a 3 hour shift and make no money -hard to work a long shift without getting extremely bored
