Pros
- Work hours that you would like with ability to change your schedule (select time) - Be a part of a team that supports each other - Pay is about average for a bookkeeper depending on your living area - Benefits are offered - Recognized for great work via monetary and non-monetary awards - Overtime offered for only select periods but is not required - Provided equipment with no cost to employee as long as employee has internet that can be hard wired into (no wifi allowed) - Career advancement is clear and offered, and can be discussed monthly/periodically with manager

Therefore the benefits offered to Full Time employees (Managers and above) are far greater than to Select Time employees that work 40 hour weeks. - Training is good but training makes it seem like all clients will be simple. Reality is that clients vary drastically and not everything can be covered in training that you can/will experience on a team. - There is no "ramp up" for work. As soon as you are placed on a team you can get 20-40 clients immediately. It can be daunting but you have support
