Pros
Although telecommuters are initially hired for projects that may end within a year or six months, usually they are kept on year after year if metrics are met. Very flexible work schedule - can work anytime during the day as long as you get in your mandatory 4 hours. Don't have to complete 4 hours in one session. Easy to ask for time off if necessary. Direct Deposit at the end of the month. Never an issue with getting paid on time. All work is done on computer without having to take phone calls (100% non-phone job). Can work from any state and several countries. If a project is cancelled or terminated, management will try to put workers on other projects
Cons
The work can be very isolating. Supervisors could respond a bit quicker to questions but are often delayed by the client. Project guidelines change a lot so you need to be flexible or this job will frustrate you very quickly. Although salary is higher than some other work at home jobs, it is not as high as it used to be. You are an independent contractor - must make sure you save enough from your paycheck to pay income tax. No benefits. May be difficult to qualify as a rater for the company. No real chance to advance if you don't live near a corporate office. Can be stressful if you can't "go with the flow." Can only work part time if telecommuting.
