Pros

You get paid. Co workers take care of you. Clientele is typically very friendly (mostly spanish-speaking). You're not really monitored much, you just have to look busy.

Cons

No proper training. Many times asked ridiculous task. Work distribution is very unequal for people of the same occupation within the company.
