Changed…not in a great way

Pros

Remote, set own Hours, decent pay

Cons

They will no longer insure your spouse if they have access to coverage (no matter how bad that may be), so I don’t think this is a company who looks out for people. That’s really awful as now my wife has little to no coverage bc her company offers subpar coverage.

Pros

they pay, on time. You can opt to travel, you're free enough to make your own schedule so you can probably fit it in any schedule for a decent part-time job

Cons

they expect full-time employee availability while offering part time work, no real room for career advancement or even a hope to transition to a full time career (management positions are few in between), you're basically expected to be available whenever you're needed but when work slows down they have nothing for you, some questionable ethics when trying to get respondent participation

Pros

They seem professional enough, but organizationally, they lack strategic planning.

Cons

The list of cons will be longer: Abominable communication Suspect hiring practices Unclear motivations Lack of strategic planning Lack of insight Lack of job stability
