Pros

I've been working on projects for about 18 months with Data Annotation. The tasks are reasonably paid and I can work as little or as much as I want. This fits in well with my other commitments. The few times I have needed to contact the company regarding any issues, they have been dealt with well and in a timely fashion. No complaints from me.

Cons

Would be nice to get a little feedback on how well (or not) my work has been completed. Sometimes annoying when there are no projects to work on, but I understand this is somewhat out of Data Annotations hands.

Great Pay, Amazing Flexibility, Organized, & Fair

Pros

The hourly rates are amazing and the flexibility it offers is unmatched. I can log in whenever I have time and make really decent money in short bursts or for hours, if the jobs are available. The platform is organized and fairly intuitive after you get used to it. Additionally, they are by far the best platform for this type of work. The time limits are fair, and once you're in a task, nothing changes (I've heard some platforms will randomly shorten the time or lower the pay mid-task). This work has been instrumental in supporting my family's needs!

Cons

The work can be mentally tasking, as there normally a lot of very detailed instructions that you have to follow that are unique to each type of task and get updated frequently. You also have to be very enagage and attentive to details, which means there's rarely any mundane, mindless, or repetitive types of tasks (which can be good or bad depending on your preferences). The biggest problem can be the inconsistent work availability, which has improved over time but sometimes the work will slow and you may not have any work for a few days. In my opinion, this type of work is best treated as side or bonus income, but it can be instrumental when you're in a financial bind. Finally, there is little to no feedback on your work quality, so just make sure to do your best on every task and ask questions whenever you have them!
