The Catch
One of the biggest disadvantages in these fields is the inconsistency of the workload. Some jobs are seasonal. Some have hours that are determined by how busy they are.
What You Spend
Some companies charge
you to do a credit check; you have startup expenses in setting up a computer,
land line phone, fax, printer, and high speed internet. You will also need
noise reducing headphones with a mic.
The Advantage
You are also not taking all the risks by yourself, but you have the ability to make as much money as you physically can. Often if you are working as an employee pay days are set and payment is consistent.
The Way You Make Money
You are usually paid by commission, and perhaps can earn a bonus as well. Some companies pay based on the number of phone calls you make in a shift others by the hour.
How & When You Get Paid
This can be part time at between 26-32 hours, or it can be full time at 40 hours a week. Most pay twice a month, but some pay weekly. It is up to the company when you get paid. Most companies pay their off-site people by direct deposit to their bank accounts. Also, a few companies offer benefits.
