Pros

- Full flexibility, which is a must for this type of working arrangement. Other platforms and independent contractor entities have strict deadlines and expected minimum hours that result in situations which cannot be regarded as freelancing anymore. - DA respects your time, which includes compensations for project onboarding training sessions - DA looks at your work and background and gives you further and bigger opportunities along the way

Cons

- Some projects have timers which are too tightly set, e.g. if start a task that takes 6 hrs or more, and you only have a 6 hrs timer, you may result in not being able to submit your completed task. If there are still tasks for this project available at that time, one can simply start a new task and submit the work then, otherwise one has to wait a few days until the task comes back to the dashboard before one can submit the work - Payouts only via PayPal, which is costly for foreign currency workers, as Paypal forces their exchange rate upon the receiver, e.g. added ≈ 2 cents from dollar to euros
