Pros

Flexible hours and they let you work from home.

Cons

The pay was poor, and having worked there for two years, I never got a raise. Even after they closed the Houston offices and bragged about how much money they saved. They also lied several times about considering raises. Expectations were often unreasonable, poorly defined, and unrelated to the tasks we were assigned. The metrics we were judged by were often useless, so that we were graded on things that didn't really matter. Management was distant and never answered questions.

Pros

Fully work from home job

Cons

Work-life-balance (the way tasks availability works makes it so that you have to stay home most of the day to get hours) Pay (the pay is not competitive at all) Poor management (little to no communication and frequently overhiring, which adds to the lack of available work) Benefits (benefits are only available if you work a certain amount of hours per year, even if they do not have tasks available frequently) Vacation time (vacation time is awarded similarly to the way benefits work. Therefore your vacations are lessened by when task availability decreases) Lack of clarity (company stages meetings under the guise of transparency, but do not address worker concerns, up to and including concerns over lack of work) Mass layoffs (company does mass layoffs frequently, sending out termination emails to multiple employees at once periodically, which adds to general stress and uncertainty about job stability)
