Pros

This job is extremely flexible, and the pay is not so bad. Also, you can usually find something to work on on any of the seven days of the week.

Cons

My biggest gripe is that workers never receive feedback on their tasks. Sometimes you get removed from a project, and you have no idea why; thus, there is no way for you to improve. Your work gets rated by other workers and then by admins, but I wish there was a way to view your performance AND if you're doing bad or performing a task in correctly, I wish an admin would contact you and give you feedback and a CHANCE TO DO BETTER before just removing you from a project, leaving you confused and no better than you were before (skill-wise). So basically, this job is good as long as you make little to no mistakes. Also, there are times of the year where work is really slow, so you have to be financially stable for those moments.

Pros

- Can work whenever you want, as much as you want - Pay *has potential* to be good ($25-$65 per hour) - Can do work related to your field (with degree), or more generalized work (without degree) - Interview process is literally just taking a test - Good if looking for extra income or part-time work - Doing good work results in more projects sent your way - 100% Work from home (or somewhere with wifi)

Cons

- Almost no human interaction at all - No benefits of any sort (no healthcare, dental, etc...) - No matter how many hours you put in, you are always self-employed - Availability of work fluctuates - Work in your specific field may not always be available - Can be difficult to make it a full time job - They can drop you without warning or notice - No possibility of career growth as far as I can tell - Some projects require you to work 8+ hours in a day, others only 30 minutes. The act of checking how long a project will take means it might no longer be available to you if you wait too long.
