Pros

As a temporary professional scorer you have the opportunity to sharpen your cognitive skills and learn a bit about high school life (as viewed by teenagers). It is a challenge to understand all the rubric to score but once you have read a couple of hundred papers, you get it pretty quickly. Great as a second job.

Cons

It is pretty monotonous. You read for about four hours straight. Your eyes need a break once in a while! You have liitle chance to get to know others working in the same project.

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
