Pros

Some flexibility in scheduling, working from home.

Cons

I initially accepted a flexible telecommuting position with this company, thinking it would be the perfect fit to supplement my income. Think again. A 4 hour a day job quickly became a 7 hour a day job, having to respond to emails, study training materials, and be subjected to constant interrogation of you work performance. All of this unpaid, and on your time, as the company did not allow admin time. Shifting guidelines and criteria led to confusion regarding expected goals. In the end, work was terminated with no specific reason given, other than saying ´it was a combination of things, nothing specific´.

Advice to Senior Management

Treat your contract and remote workers with a bit more respect and dignity, and you will get more quality work. This is not an internet sweatshop.
