Pros

"Flexible scheduling" - You can theoretically set your own hours. In practice, you either have an open availability or don't get any hours (not that you get enough anyway). Work from home Decent pay ($15/hr) Better than being unemployed.

Cons

Hours vary widely from month to month and there's never enough of them. Some months you'll work two 40 hr weeks. Others you'll get nothing at all. Shifts are added and canceled with very little notice (sometimes as little as a day). Supposedly if they cancel with less than 24 hours notice, they give you a half-days pay. Instead, they cancel exactly 25 hours in advance. Next to no contact with the company aside from a scoring leader that changes every day. Very little feedback and what feedback you do get next to useless. Most scoring leaders only contact you to tell you why you scored something wrong "according to the rubric," and if you try to defend your scores, expect to be told why their interpretation of the rubric is the only correct one. What makes this useless is the fact that the scoring leaders do not agree with each other. No benefits.

Pros

- Decent pay rate (per hour) - Work from home - Decent amount of hours per month when essay volume is at its highest - Great for people who enjoy using their attention to detail and intelligence at work - Flexible hours and scheduling

Cons

- Scoring leaders' interpretations of essays varies (you get a different scoring leader each day) which can make day-to-day scoring tricky sometimes. I have had some scoring leaders give me information on how to properly score that has been proven by the company's training and advice to be incorrect... - While working with scoring leaders is usually a positive experience, some scoring leaders are not diplomatic and assume they are right about everything just because of the position they hold. This can lead to some patronization on the job... - With the nature of the job comes an unpredictable amount of hours per week/month; so you cannot depend on this job to be a primary source of income and can, at most, depend on it to be a solid 2nd source of income.
