Business Outlook

Pros

flexibility, reasonableness, convenient, satisfying, good hours, meeting new people. Overall, I'am a people person. Management is appreciative of good workers.

Cons

Can be boring at times when there is a lull in the day. I dislike the fact that you're being watched constantly via viedo and corrected on what you say--which can make anyone uncomfortable.
