Pros

The company allows you to work from home for several positions. You can start from home, including training. Many management positions are also from home. Pay is good for a work at home job. Thorough training is provided before you start. Someone is always there if you have questions you need answered. You got to speak with people of different backrounds and across the country.

Cons

Many times the system was down, so you could not work, which means you did not get paid. Communication was not always the best. I did the California Health Survey and you had to deal with rude people. They changed my schedule on me a couple times at the last minute.
