I would not use Arise as any rule of thumb or measure.
Some companies pay you to train and some do not. Some require you to pay for it, and some do not. Some expect you to commit to their training with no pay to you. They are all unique, and that is why you have to research. Read what people are saying in each company forum to get an idea of how people feel the company is to work for, how they like they pay, grievances, etc. You really have to research.
You have to click on the sticky in each forum that says something like How to Apply. Then, there is usually a link directly to the company's website. Sometimes someone has already posted information about the company. Then, you just have to read it all. You might start with Frequently Asked Questions or Become an Agent or something like that. They normally tell you what type of call work is involved, what hours are available, the pay, paid or unpaid training, etc. Some hire you as an employee with benefits, but most of them contract with you as an independent contractor.
Every company has their own criteria. It took me weeks of reading to sort through them all, and pick the one I was interested in. What might work for me may not work for you. That is why you have to do your own research on each company. Also, read their technical requirements regarding what your computer needs, phone service, internet service, etc.
