10 Well-Known Companies That Hire Remote Workers

Working from home is much more commonplace nowadays than it was ten years ago.

When I first started researching work at home job opportunities many years back, I had a lot of trouble finding anything through a basic Google search that didn't lead me straight toward a scammy-looking website.

Thank goodness that's no longer true!

Even so, many people still feel uneasy about the idea of working from home and worry that they may be taken in by a scam every time they apply for an online position — especially if it's a company they've never heard of before.

So, I decided to create a list of 10 well-known companies that hire remote workers. These are companies that you and probably everyone else have heard of, but you may not have realized they offer work from home positions!

Many are considered “remote first.”

Good luck if you apply!

10 Well-Known Companies That Hire Remote Workers

1. U-Haul – Customer Service & Reservations

U-Haul has a long history of hiring people to work from home, and remote openings tend to come up regularly throughout the year. Some positions are available nationwide while others have language, schedule, or location requirements, so you do need to check each listing carefully.

Common remote openings include reservations, customer service, roadside assistance, Live Verify, and sales-related support. U-Haul also occasionally posts higher-level remote jobs in areas such as technology and software development.

Pay depends on the position and whether incentives are involved. A recent remote bilingual Live Verify opening paid $16 to $19 per hour, while some sales-focused U-Haul jobs have additional incentive pay that can increase total earnings.

2. CVS Health/Aetna – Customer Service & Healthcare Support

CVS Health regularly hires remote employees, including workers for its Aetna and other healthcare-related businesses. Many positions are limited to specific states, but the company tends to have a large number of openings overall, so it is worth checking even when one particular remote job closes.

Remote jobs can include customer service, pharmacy support, claims and appeals, prior authorization, billing, care coordination, and member outreach. Some are fairly accessible customer service positions, while medical, nursing, pharmacy, and other specialized roles require additional credentials or experience.

Pay varies considerably depending on the job and level of specialization. A recent remote CVS Health/Aetna customer service opening on my job leads page paid $18.50 per hour and included a conditional $2,000 signing bonus, while more specialized healthcare positions can pay considerably more.

3. H&R Block – Customer Service & Tax Support

H&R Block hires remote workers regularly, with a lot of its home-based hiring tied to tax season. Many of these jobs are seasonal, although the company also employs year-round corporate workers and other professionals.

Remote opportunities can include customer care, tax software support, technical help, tax preparation, accounting, and other support roles. Some seasonal customer service and software-support positions require only a high school diploma plus strong communication and computer skills, with related experience preferred rather than always required.

Recent remote customer service openings have listed pay of $16.06 to $24.09 per hour. Some positions also offer weekend shift differentials, performance incentives, and benefits for qualifying employees.

4. The Home Depot – Customer Service & Order Support

The Home Depot sometimes hires employees to work remotely, although home-based openings are not available across every department or location. Remote eligibility can also vary between Home Depot itself and businesses it owns, such as The Company Store.

Remote jobs can include customer service, order support, product assistance, escalations, vendor coordination, and various corporate or professional positions. Customer care openings are usually among the more accessible options for people coming from retail or general customer service backgrounds.

A recent remote Senior Customer Service Representative opening listed pay of $18 to $22 per hour. Pay for other remote positions varies significantly based on the department, location, and amount of experience required.

5. AAA – Roadside Assistance & Customer Service

AAA is a little different because it is made up of regional clubs rather than operating as one single employer nationwide. That means remote availability, eligible states, schedules, and requirements can vary depending on which AAA club is hiring.

Remote jobs can include roadside assistance, member services, travel and reservations, insurance, sales, and customer service. Roadside assistance and customer support positions are usually among the more accessible options, particularly for applicants with previous customer service experience.

A recent remote roadside assistance opening started at $18.85 per hour and paid $20.74 per hour for weekend work. Other AAA positions can pay more depending on the club, job type, location, experience, and whether sales incentives are involved.

6. Liberty Mutual – Customer Service, Claims & Insurance

Liberty Mutual regularly hires remote workers in the insurance industry, and many positions are available in a large number of U.S. states. The company frequently provides structured training and benefits, although state restrictions and licensing requirements vary by position.

Remote opportunities include customer service, insurance sales, claims, underwriting support, and other insurance-related work. Some customer service and sales openings are surprisingly accessible, with previous experience sometimes preferred rather than strictly required.

A recent remote customer service opening listed a broad salary range of $38,000 to $70,000, with typical starting pay of about $48,000 to $58,000. Remote inbound sales positions can pay even more with commission, with recent roles offering a base around $45,000 and average total earnings of roughly $55,000 to $75,000.

7. Carnival Cruise Line – Vacation Planning & Customer Service

Carnival Cruise Line regularly hires people for land-based remote positions, although many U.S. home-based jobs are restricted to states such as Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Texas. These are employee jobs for Carnival's shoreside operations rather than jobs working aboard a cruise ship.

Remote jobs can include Personal Vacation Planner, Fun Expert, resolutions and customer service positions, along with finance, risk, information technology, and other professional roles. Vacation planning and customer-facing positions usually involve quite a bit of phone work and may require sales experience.

Pay varies widely because some Carnival jobs include commissions or incentives in addition to base pay. Carnival has listed average earnings of approximately $80,000 to $85,000 for Personal Vacation Planners when base pay and incentives are combined, although those earnings are not guaranteed.

8. SiriusXM – Customer Support, Sales & Tech

SiriusXM uses a flexible work model that includes fully remote positions in addition to hybrid and office-based jobs. For positions that can be done entirely from home, remote employees generally need to remain in the continental U.S. and may occasionally be asked to visit an office.

Remote opportunities can include customer support and retention, advertising and sales, analytics, technology and engineering, marketing, corporate functions, and program management.

SiriusXM also owns brands including Pandora, so openings can sometimes involve its larger audio and advertising businesses rather than only the satellite-radio service.

Pay varies quite a bit depending on the department and whether the position includes commissions. A recent remote Retention Specialist opening paid $18 per hour plus monthly commission, while technical, analytics, management, and other professional positions can have substantially higher salaries.

9. GE Appliances – Customer Service & Product Support

GE Appliances hires remote employees for certain positions, particularly in customer support and consumer relations. These jobs may be restricted to specific states and usually require employees to have a suitable home workspace and reliable wired internet.

Remote jobs can include inbound customer service, consumer relations, appliance support, sales, and other customer-facing work. Employees may assist customers with appliance problems, warranties, service questions, escalations, and other product-related issues by phone, email, or text.

A recent remote Consumer Relations opening paid $17 per hour plus incentives. Pay for other GE Appliances positions varies by job type, with professional, technical, sales, and management roles generally paying more than entry-level customer support.

10. Capital One – Customer Service & Banking Support

Capital One hires some employees remotely and also labels certain positions as remote-eligible, although the number and types of work-from-home openings change frequently. Some jobs are fully remote while others may still be tied to a particular location or team.

Remote opportunities can include customer care, banking operations, dealer and loan support, sales, technology, software engineering, data, product, and other corporate work. Customer service and operations jobs tend to be the most accessible to applicants without highly specialized technical backgrounds.

Pay depends heavily on the position. A recent remote Dealer Funding Concierge opening paid $56,800 to $64,800 per year, while the customer service jobs covered in my Capital One review have generally paid around $19 to $21 per hour.
