Pros
-Great pay for work at home job-usually $13-$15 an hour and up! -Flexibility in scheduling- if you are not able to work on particular day then you simply don't make yourself available. Scheduling is done monthly several weeks in advance. For example- you submit your availability for December during the first week of November. You schedule for December is confirmed the 3rd week of November. -Shift cancellation policy pays for half of your shift if canceled with less than 24 hours notice. -If you don't like to deal with a lot of people when working, this is the job for you- you will only deal with your immediate supervisor (Scoring Leader) and maybe their supervisor, though it is rare (Chief Scoring Leader). You do not interact with other raters. -Most of the initial training is self paced based on the program- either 4 or 8 hours.
Cons
- Raters should be aware of the program they are hired for- not all programs are year round and give consistent work. This is stated in the job descriptions. Some jobs are just for a couple weeks, one or two times a year. For these programs employees should not expect full time work. ETS frequently hires months in advance. -Some Scoring Leaders (a Rater's immediate supervisor) apply the scoring rubrics inconsistently. Some provide tons of feedback during a shift for potentially "wrong" scoring while others are so overwhelmed with their work load they don't provide feedback at all. -I have been turned down for some programs when I have gained the experience needed in the job description by working other programs (scoring non-English speakers, for example). This is not consistent! -Sometimes, my shift has been changed to earlier in the day with no notice (email or phone) -No benefits for work from home raters
