Pros

Remote work at your own pace (When there's work available)

Cons

Difficult to plan your schedule because work is intermittent. After 7 years of good work, I was fired by a 20 word email for a random reason (They seem to throw the dice and select any given reason from the list). I was unable to complain being blocked from their platform and deleted all my messages.
