Pros

* You get to work from home * You set your own schedule for completing assignments * Super easy to get - you won't even be interviewed!

Cons

If you've been hired as a graider and think you're getting paid - you're only fooling yourself. I spent 3 days on 10 students and got paid nothing. NOTHING. They will take your work, submit it to teachers, and keep submitting it back to you telling you that you're not meeting their "quality standards." Even if you reviewed everything and submitted it compliant to the complaints previously addressed. And put 40+ hrs of work into it. They will take your work, pay you nothing and move on to the next "graider" who again will provide them with free feedback for the next 10 students. This is slave labor. Example: You'll be told that you need to be more specific in your feedback. When you do not provide students with specific arguments they need to address in their paper, you'll get told you're not being specific enough. When you are specific, and tell students the exact steps they need to follow to improve themselves, you'll get told that you cannot give them direct advice. You cannot win. You will not win and you're only wasting your time, which, if you're a student like me, you don't have.

Pros

I would definitely say that the hours are flexible here at the Graide Network. Just as other freelance jobs, you pick up work as you have time to do so and grade when you can. As far as I can tell there aren't any penalties for not working a certain amount of hours. Additionally, at peak times of the year (during the fall and spring semesters) there is an abundant amount of work that you can pick up if you want to work.

Cons

It seems that the pay scale is very low, especially for how much work graiders put into grading these assignments. You are paid on an hourly basis, based on the allotted time of hours that the network gives you in order to complete the assignment. If you go over the amount of hours allotted to an assignment, you will not be paid for the extra time that you took grading the assignment. However, there are instances in which in the assignment sections, there are students who did not do their work, so you will skip these students. If you skip a large amount of students (who didn't do the assignment) you will not get paid for the full time even if it took you that long.
