Avantages
I can't speak for the other departments but the pro for the telephonic health educator positions are a competitive salary, good benefits and a telecommuting option.
Inconvénients
Please only consider this position if you are absolutely desperate for a paycheck. The position entails being stuck on a phone making hundreds of calls a day on a machine that controls how often the calls come through (they are back-to-back). Every word that comes out of your mouth is monitored and recorded. Micromanagement is severe. Metrics are the primary focus and are significantly more important than member satisfaction or employee health. Employees are often not able to use the bathroom as they need to, and their breaks are timed to the very minute. The department has had several instances where they have violated OSHA. For your health and sanity, again, please only consider this job if you are extremely desperate.... and recognize that even financial struggles with a lower paying job can be significantly better than selling your soul to micromanaged slavery every day you choose to walk through the door. Many health educators were so desperate to get out that they quit without any other job prospects. Please be careful in your consideration.
