Pros

You can work from home Team/Company culture tries to be supportive of your success in spirit

Cons

Seems like a dead end - even promotional opportunities often turn out to be "temporary" with no base pay increase. Real promotions are very few and far between. No clear path upwards for this specific part of the business unless you want to be in sales/be a salesman. You will be micromanaged. Everything you do is tracked. Don't go to the bathroom for more than a minute, you will get a message asking where you were and to "be careful" Pay is not proportional to the work that we do and the value of the work that's being done. You will take several thousand calls every year and barely feel compensated for it.

Pros

Pay is good. When you have a good manager, it makes the excessive documentation manageable.

Cons

Ingrid Tatum in the Illinois market is dishonest, manipulative and has extreme narcissistic ways. It is impossible to have an opinion or a different view. I was only able to stay 6 months after she became manager after 5 1/2 years of employment. At this time, 99% of NP's have left.
