Pros

The only good thing about working for Study.com is being able to work from home.

Cons

My two main problems with this company are the awful compensation and the disorganized leadership. The pay here is awful. Even though the workload isn't too heavy, the poor compensation means you get minimal pay compared to working for other companies. Also, the leadership is disorganized and inefficient as shown by their terrible delegation and inefficient scheduling.

Pros

-The compensation isn’t too shabby if you’re from a developing country; it’s passable enough to keep you interested. -Freedom to Pick Your Poison: You get to choose your tasks, so you have a bit of control over what you’re working on, which sounds nice, until it isn’t. -Keyword Ninja Training: If you've gotten the SEO Keyword Specialist role, you get some good practice with keywords, a little like a keyword boot camp where you learn by doing (and sometimes by getting terminated out of nowhere). -Less "Team Spirit" More "Solo Grind": No team meetings or group projects, so it’s just you, the task, and the clock. Great if you’re not a fan of team bonding sessions!

Cons

-Lightning-Fast Hire-and-Fire Game: Make a few mistakes, and you’re out of the game. No explanations, just a swift goodbye. It's kind of like playing dodgeball with your job. -Training? Hardly: Onboarding is quick, and guidance is minimal. You’re expected to be a mind reader. Did you mess up? You’ll know if you get the boot. -No Feedback Loop: They prefer the "figure it out yourself" method, so good luck guessing what went wrong. -Team Hubpage, Barely a Team: There’s a “team” page for announcements, but asking for real help? Not really a thing here. -Too Fast, Too Curious: Work through tasks faster than expected? They might think you’re slacking for not being at your desk 8 hours, even if you’ve hit their quotas. -The Quota Paradox: Hit your numbers and feel accomplished? Be careful, they might just assume it was too easy and up the expectations.

Abysmal Pay

Pros

flexible schedule and workload, choice of projects

Cons

The pay is per piece and on my current project it works out to about $5/hour. Although in theory, you can work as much or as little as you want to, the current project I'm assigned to rarely has any work to sign up for. They are still advertising that they are hiring for this project even though those already employed by it have no work to select.
