Pros

The pay is pretty great for the work that you do. It can be a little intimidating at first, but once you pick it up, it's very manageable. The flexible hours are another plus! Very little to no micromanaging; if you like your independence, this is perfect.

Cons

No PTO - everything is hourly, and some holidays we're not even allowed to work, which means no pay. There is also very little opportunity for growth within the company.

Pros

Fully work from home job

Cons

Work-life-balance (the way tasks availability works makes it so that you have to stay home most of the day to get hours) Pay (the pay is not competitive at all) Poor management (little to no communication and frequently overhiring, which adds to the lack of available work) Benefits (benefits are only available if you work a certain amount of hours per year, even if they do not have tasks available frequently) Vacation time (vacation time is awarded similarly to the way benefits work. Therefore your vacations are lessened by when task availability decreases) Lack of clarity (company stages meetings under the guise of transparency, but do not address worker concerns, up to and including concerns over lack of work) Mass layoffs (company does mass layoffs frequently, sending out termination emails to multiple employees at once periodically, which adds to general stress and uncertainty about job stability)
