Pros
Fairly flexible hours. Decent commission when you can actually find someone who can be convinced to subscribe to a newspaper that supplies information they can get on the Internet for free.
Cons
You have to sell a product nobody wants not only because it's out of date, but because the service of the companies you are selling on behalf of have HORRIBLE customer service. I can't tell you how many calls I made to people who had canceled their newspaper service because it never got delivered. Management doesn't care, they expect you to lie to the customer and tell them that they have fixed the problem when they knew full-well that the company delivering the newspaper never fixed the problem. This company is 100% sales, 0% customer service. However, if you're comfortable blatantly lying to people and stealing money from them on a day-to-day basis, then this is the job for you!
