Pros
- Flexible hours and good pay! During school times, I can choose assignments and always come in a bit under the estimated time - Growth focus and coaching! There’s consistent feedback and encouragement so I’ve become a better (ans quicker) grader over time - Reading student work! Honestly I’ve just learned a lot about writing and student’s work after over a thousand student essays
Cons
- There was about a 1 month learning curve. It took 2-3 assignments for me to understand the feedback style so for these, responding to coaching and including revisions, I spent 3-4 hours on 2-3 hour assignments. After those first few, however, I come in under time! - To be expected from an education job, but there aren’t assignments / hours during the summer **STRONGLY disagree with the comments about a scam – I’ve worked here three years and have ALWAYS been paid the estimated hours of an assignment in full and on time. Especially after 2-3 assignments experience I feel the pay is VERY fair and there are +$2 and +$4 bonuses for special assignments like AP essays or projects with quick turnaround time**
