Two ladies at my workplace also work part time for
Arise. It is a customer service work from home position.
I asked one of them about it and apparently you pay for the training courses you have to take and you agree to work so many hours a week (a minimum of 15). Although you do have to pay a bit upfront, it is a legitimate place to work for. Arise handles telephone/internet customer service for companies like Disney, Carnival Cruises, AT&T, etc.
