Pros

The obvious; you can set your own hours working from home. Take as many or as few calls as you want. I worked as a contractor doing remote support for Geek Squad. You are paid (in theory, see below) per successful session.

Cons

I was paid once every seven weeks or so. It is outrageous to wait well into the next month to be paid for the previous one. When I continued to receive 5-star ratings for my services from customers, I was sent an email that accused me of manipulating, exploiting the rating system and to stop doing it. It was after this that my sessions began to be audited, and I was denied hundreds of dollars. Supportspace was convinced that I was not providing enough documentation of my work despite having written in great length what had transpired. It is maddening to think about how many painful hours I worked unpaid. Supportspace can pull the plug on your wages like it's nothing.

Pros

Make your own hours. If you could repair 5+ computers at a time and did, you made more money than you knew what to do with.

Cons

A lot of experts would complain in the IRC chat (which is the con) that they had no clients sent to them while others were bogged with endless calls, it was biased based on ability (which is a pro). People were "decerted" and not allowed to take more calls with an off with your head type style, which left every tech nervous. They had so many techs, so many incoming calls, so much work to figure out who was cheating the system and who deserved to be paid that sometimes innocent experts had to wait for pay or were blocked from some pay needlessly. Geek Squad is gone now. There were top techs who acted like they walked on water and tortured some of the techs who were "newbies" and were not at a superior level of IT.
