      Pros

      Freedom to work on your own schedule. Great pay compared to other similar positions. Variety of tasks means the job doesn't get stagnant. Spontaneous weekly incentives and monthly bonuses for top performers.

      Cons

      Tasks can dry up towards the end of the month or on weekends which makes meeting the minimum hours difficult, particularly if you're also working a full time position. The accelerated payment program (payment on the 10th of the following month instead of the 30th) isn't difficult to achieve but if you fall short it can really upend your budget.

      Pros

      You get to work from home (or anywhere with wifi)

      Cons

      Expected to learn literally hundreds of pages of rules that CONSTANTLY conflict with one another Low pay 1099 job - responsible for your own taxes Encouraged to ask questions, but when you do, you rarely get answers and the answers you get come back so slowly that they are no longer relevant to what you are doing

      Pros

      Do work at home, minimal human contact. It's something to do and you get paid fairly for it.

      Cons

      Slow communication. Poor handling of technical issues. Scripted responses from clueless people are typical. Took 2 months to work on a technical issue that prevented me from getting consistent work. They were unable to solve it. Guidelines and task rating are relatively arbitrary and subjective, and it is impossible to have a 100% quality score due to this, yet they expect a minimum score of 85%. You use a sliding scale to rate tasks. To give you an idea of how subjective the work is, they will disqualify many tasks because so many raters disagreed about its rating. Despite this, they are fixed in their ways about how a task should be rated if they decide on it, and will not budge from solid arguments against them. Sometimes there will be no work available for you for periods of hours, days, even weeks, but especially during holidays (which is understandable).. For some reason, even though I live in the eastern US, I worked with several people from Ireland, including the webinar maker, which meant I had to adjust my schedule to Irish time. This also contributed to the delayed communication to some extent. I left the company after 41/2 years of service because they could not fix a technical issue.
