      Pros

      Remote work. I had a pretty nice working experience and avoided any horrible managers. No crazy hours. No micro managing or unneccesary pressure. Pretty low stress as these things go.

      Cons

      Severely underpaid. You will have to negotiate higher salary as they will never give it to you on their own volition. Working there for longer means seeing new hires net higher starting salaries then you who has much more experience. Have been moving in the direction of more and more outsourcing to India and they are definitely onboard the AI hype train. Very poor job security. No company loyalty towards its employees. They view their employees as a line item on a spreadsheet and nothing more.

      Pros

      Flexible availability. Path for promotion is obvious and quantified.

      Cons

      Bonus/commission it is based on level and sales so is low in states without a state tax form. Hourly wage comes out of bonus. Pressure to sell items that don't add to your commission. They push customer surveys but you can be penalized if someone complains about the company, price, amount of emails etc even though you have no control. Some employees are frustratingly low quality and you will spend time helping or fixing their mistakes time that works against your commission. You are expected to answer phones, make appointments, scan, print, take money, help new comers all while maximizing returns. If you take over someone's client and find a mistake you are expected to work against your commission to file amendments peace of mind claims etc.
