What is working from home like at Arise?

I worked as an independent contractor through Arise Virtual Solutions for over ten years. The flexibility was a major plus—being able to set my own hours and work from home was ideal for balancing family responsibilities. If you’re self-motivated and comfortable working without supervision, this model can suit you well. That said, there are some important things to be aware of. First, you're a 1099 contractor, not an employee. That means no benefits, no paid time off, and you're responsible for your own taxes. The startup process also requires a financial investment—you need to pay for training and possibly equipment depending on the client. Pay can vary widely depending on the client you're servicing. Some programs offer competitive rates, while others may not be worth your time once you factor in unpaid training, equipment needs, and downtime between calls. Support is available but can be hit or miss in terms of responsiveness and clarity.

No benefits (contractor status) Upfront costs for training and equipment Pay may not match time invested, especially early on

You can work from home and pick your own hours

You get dropped from a program without warning. The pay is below minimum wage. The supportive staff isn't very supportive.

Very flexible work from home environment

unpaid training and not many clients opportunities in the last year.

The training is not paid. Training can be 4-6 weeks. You have to purchase your own equipment.

Low pay System issues Have to work a minimum of 15 hours a week

Little pay but work from home

Class is typically a month with no pay

Easy to qualify for various opportunities (jobs). Training is usually pretty engaging and friendly. The people who teach are genuinely passionate about their role. The schedule flexibility is a huge advantage. It has great clients to work for such as Agero and Carnival. If you get the right positions they can be really fun and/ or rewarding.

The remote factor, while wonderful can also be a bit of a disadvantage as management can be hard to reach or not very responsive. When you have a contact terminated they don't give you the courtesy of telling you why with an email, a call, nothing. Those things can be frustrating but the fact you can work from home making money helping people on your own schedule with little oversight is worth it. Not a scam.
