Pros

Somewhat flexible schedule, excellent support, extensive on the job training. 100% Remote. Don't need to be on camera very often. Free CE's, lots of opportunity.

Sometimes the productivity goals seem a little high but it gives you something to work towards. As with most remote work be prepared to have your productivity and activity or lack there of monitored in several ways.
