Pros

flexible work, okay compensation, sometimes interesting

Cons

the company is really annoying and inconsistent. they'll offer bonus incentives and not hold up their end of the bargain because your work wasn't "satisfactory" yet they won't offer feedback to improve. the training is repetitive and a joke. the required browser extensions are stalkerish and annoying. i hate that they make you log your own time and won't let you use a timer, yet if you're a minute off they'll send you an angry email that basically accused you of stealing hours. if they know what hours you work, why can't they create a built in task timer on the homeworker portal? it makes no sense. it's like they want to get their employees in trouble
