ETS reviews

They've now cut pay for raters by 20% or more. So you're now paying $15/hr for a job that requires a Masters degree and/or years of teaching experience. How is that at all reasonable? I've scored for the TOEFL since 2015, never saw a raise, and now am actually getting my pay REDUCED. Claiming it's due to matching industry standards--so is it a race to the bottom? To mediocrity and poorer quality scoring?

Perhaps you miss the good old days when you could slave away at a Dickensian workhouse, or labor in the backbreaking cotton fields of Ol' Dixie? Maybe you wish you were back in the time of the Pharoahs, helping to build one of those awesome pyramids? Well, look no farther than ETS. This is a company where you can work your very hardest for over five years without a pay raise and then be rewarded with a .... ((((drum roll)))) .... pay CUT!!! And they'll throw in a few reduced hours and nasty comments from scoring leaders who have undoubtedly become embittered by working for a soulless corporation for too many years. Yes, all this can be yours ... so don't hesitate to apply for a scoring job here. Oh, and you'll have the great responsibility of making decisions that can ultimately affect a test-taker's entire future, once a minute, knowing that every decision could be overseen and criticized by a faceless supervisor and possibly lead to your immediate termination if you make the wrong one. But what the hey ... those slaves on the pyramids could have laid a stone wrong and the whole structure would have come toppling down, and they worked for nothing.
