Business Outlook

Pros

Work at home, part time work available

Cons

They say that you have to work a minimum of 15 hours but these hours are not guaranteed. After training I would try to go into the scheduler to register for hours and they were mostly blocked out in all red. If they are blocked out you can not schedule. Your 15 hours are not guaranteed.
