Pros

This job is extremely flexible, and the pay is not so bad. Also, you can usually find something to work on on any of the seven days of the week.

Cons

My biggest gripe is that workers never receive feedback on their tasks. Sometimes you get removed from a project, and you have no idea why; thus, there is no way for you to improve. Your work gets rated by other workers and then by admins, but I wish there was a way to view your performance AND if you're doing bad or performing a task in correctly, I wish an admin would contact you and give you feedback and a CHANCE TO DO BETTER before just removing you from a project, leaving you confused and no better than you were before (skill-wise). So basically, this job is good as long as you make little to no mistakes. Also, there are times of the year where work is really slow, so you have to be financially stable for those moments.

Great to work for, lots of work once you get past initial assessment as a specialist for coding. Receiving payments is seamless.

Work can be tedious and require long blocks of time.

Pros

- Very flexible, asynchronous work schedule. - Reasonable pay, especially for the convenience. - Can earn more with expertise.

Cons

- The work is unreliable with regular droughts (sometimes there's more than enough to work on, sometimes there's no work available). - Highly unlikely to receive any performance feedback. - You are not their employee, it is freelance work that qualifies (for me at least) as self-employment, so you have to plan ahead for taxes.
