Pros

Outbound Sales, flexible on your own time. Good to have on resume.

Cons

Micromanaging like you've never seen. Managers will poor down their stress from upper level execs on towards you. You will be just another number here. It's forget what you did for me yesterday and what are you doing for me today culture.

Pros

Good Benefits, nice co-workers, upward mobility

Cons

Your first year is some of the most dehumanizing work I've ever done. In SMB Payroll you are worked like a dog for $20 an hour and expected to hit perfect marks during busy seasons. Get out of this department as soon as humanly possible
