Work from Home Customer Service Specialists – Pacific or Mountain Time Zone – Benefits on Day One
Update Jan. 10 — Looks like Unum received all the applications it needs and removed the listing. They continue to hire from the Phoenix and Las Vegas areas. (Just follow the instructions below.) In the meantime, you’ll find many more leads on our Daily Jobs & Side Gigs page. Enjoy!
If you’d like to work from home for a larger, established company with benefits, the insurance giant Unum is looking for more f/t Customer Service Specialists who live in the Pacific or Mountain time zone.
The company provides equipment and business class internet. Benefits included (from your first day at work).
Pay
Unum doesn’t mention pay, but employee reviews on Glassdoor put it at around $32,000. We thought that sounded a bit high, although one of our readers emailed us:
“Regarding the salary for the UNUM positions, $32K is actually very close to the annual salary being offered. I know someone who was hired on with them back in May. The person is working 40 hours/wk at appx $15/hr – that averages out to be $31,200 gross salary. It’s one of the best paying, non-college degree remote jobs out there!”
