Pros

This job is flexible - you have the ability to work when and where you want. It is perfect for someone who doesn't necessarily need the income but can save it and put it towards a luxury item or vacation.

Cons

There are performance expectations that I think are totally unreasonable. When you don't reach the performance goals, you get a strongly-worded email to "adjust your paycheck". In other words: delete some hours, we're not paying you unless you work at a frantic pace. They publish updated performance expectations, but based on the our 'adjusted hours'...how is this accurate? Quite often, there isn't enough work to go around so you can't even count on getting in 20 hrs/wk. Personally, I need to work 25 + hrs to receive 20 hrs of pay. Pay sounds good up front for this type of work, but I quickly found out I had to adjust my timesheet down in order to get paid without a hassle.

Pros

Work from home which will save money on gas driving Paid monthly for tasks completed Good balance of work and family time

Cons

Low pay Lots of unpaid training time and time required, plan on giving up at least 40 hours pay at 1st and on going training is required which is also unpaid, plan on giving up at least 8 to 24 pay per month in unpaid training time Company will cut you lose if you miss their quality mark Company will cut you lose if you can not make their piece per minute chart Pay is based more as "piece work" even through its called hourly Better have a 2nd computer because many site they ask to review are dangerous and contain virus Quality levels are all over the chart, each quality moderator has their own opinions and there is too much gray area

Pros

I appreciated the flexible hours that allowed me to work a few minutes or a few hours at a time. It was nice to be able to work late at night or early in the mornings.

Cons

Frequently changing guidelines. Must learn new guidelines on personal time. Not enough time allowed to do a good job for some tasks. If I researched an answer, I went over the allotted time. If I didn't research, then I sometimes got the answer wrong. Difficult to stay interested in repetitive tasks. Performance seems to be judged solely on subjective, not objective guidelines. Rating search engines is a matter of opinion. Seems to be no way to dispute the moderator's assessment of your rating.
