Pros

None. It's a complete waste of time and they don't even pay you for all the work you do.

Cons

STAY AWAY: They don't pay well. There's rarely anyone active if you have a problem or need help. I'm sure I'm close to $200 in bonuses and completed tasks they never paid me for without any explanation. When I open a support ticket about it, nothing happens. They're regularly EQ (empty queue), which means there aren't any tasks available. Why bother trying to work for them when there's never any work to be had? Their training documentation always has typos in it even though they expect 100% accuracy from their employees. There's no formal review process. If a reviewer gets your task and disagrees with you there's nothing you can do. You're just stuck with a bad rating. There's no formal process for being a reviewer. I've been added as a reviewer before. Meaning, the review process is just one person's opinion vs another. There's no company contact information. It's like working for the Wizard of Oz. Who is the person behind the curtain? Everything about the few months I've worked, it just feels like this is a fraudulent company.

Pros

Reportedly, some people get paid working here and are able to do it for more than a week

Cons

These are opinions based on my experience: Support staff ranges from indifferent to incompetent, weekly changes in policy, stiffing people on pay, false advertising on pay rates, support and training docs littered with typos and contradictions, overall fly-by-night labor middle-man scheme. We're all just fish waiting for food to drop in the bowl, and god forbid you have a technical issue (on their side) blocking your ability to work for them. It's easier for them to fire you (ignore you and refuse to give you work- they aren't kind enough to actually fire people) and wait for some desperate person to replace you than help you with anything. They also have a habit of unceremoniously revoking people's access to work on Friday evenings without even notifying anyone, just a bunch of people lose work and then start complaining on Slack about losing their income. 50/50 chance that some portion of the staff you interface with is just AI. I'm almost convinced this is just one big experiment in finding out poorly you can treat remote employees while still turning a profit from their work. The way this company treats workers should be illegal!

Pros

Sounds like an exciting way to make some extra money. They advertise for employees abundantly.

Cons

They say they use Slack for information-there is no information provided. There are no tasks, when you ask them about it, They will respond that they are sharing the tasks in a fair manner. I think they are changing software for communication. I have finally been assigned a project, but there is no way to access the tasks. You are expected to keep checking back. I was "hired" over 2 months ago, and just happened to check and I was assigned the project, but again -no tasks to do the project. I hear this from so many others, too.
