Pros

Home Based Technical support advisor for Apple's iOS devices. Learned a lot about Apple's products. Kelly provides access to a Books 24/7 which is nice and some very current business books are in the library.

Cons

The incredible lack of intelligence with the Kelly Services Organization. It begins with the inadequate training. However that is due to trainers who do not have a professional training background. As a result, the high expectations Apple has, (since of course we iPhone advisors do appear to be the "Voice" of Apple Inc.) are not always able to rationally explain to very upset customers Apple's policies. When those same customer fill out a survey that is negative. We advisors are considered responsible. Whereas in any other company all Managers would see that customers however upset they are cannot be "talked out of being angry" when they are over half right and in some cases absolutely right. But, advisors pay for it with a blemish on the record. This is the lowest paying job I ever had....And one where management was only too quick to condemn the negative surveys. Management says bring in more positive surveys...we are not allowed to inform customers about surveys. Truly ridiculous, The only job I have ever had that could be described as anti-Silicon Valley principles. I thought it could be interesting when I started even given low pay....however it became very tyrannical....Due to no professional managers

Pros

Flexible work schedule during the week and the ability to plan based on teachers putting in PTO and putting it on the calendar. The use of the computer to select dates of employment and to put in timecard information is intuitive. Having an app to look at when not at a computer to see job opportunities is also convenient. Communication from Kelly is awesome.

Cons

Schools not needing substitutes during the summer break. Not knowing what number Kelly is contacting me from for short notice opportunities.

Pros

Virtual, work from home position. The pay was great, the hours were great, they work with you and are very flexible, can always pick up shifts if you have under 40 hours, (you're scheduled 40 hours but if you miss a day that week) you can pick up another shift from the board

Cons

There aren't any cons that I can think of at this time.
