Pros

- There is so much opportunity to take on new tasks and try new things. -- Leadership is very supportive of changing roles and letting you find a position that works for you. - Everyone cares very deeply about the mission and understands that we're doing this work for students - These are the nicest and most caring group of coworkers I have ever had - Handshake takes performance management seriously. I appreciate that if someone is not pulling their weight, they will not last at Handshake

Cons

- It's a fast-paced environment (which I like), but not the place for someone who just wants to coast - Work ebbs and flows for busy periods but there are definitely some times like BTS when all hands are on deck

Pros

Real pay, many jobs, Slack for additional support, and flexible schedule geared towards Eastern time.

Cons

Schedule flexiblity still requires you to accept jobs in batches, without a definitive release date for each batch, and if you do not accept enough tasks in the timeframe you will be removed from the project. Timers do not pay if the task extends beyond the prescribed limit, and workers are encouraged to submit lower times regardless of the actual work required. For some tasks this is an extra 5 minutes, for others it could be an extra 20 hours.
