It's as if they are trying to kill employee morale
Pros
- Most of the perks of a work-at-home job -Mostly good, educated people to work with - Mostly know your schedule a month ahead of time
Cons
- No benefits at all. Not even paid time off, bonuses, or profit-sharing (because "non-profit" is a joke) - Hours and scheduling are not conducive to a stable life/budget -- shifts get cancelled last minute (or the shift gets halved) and some months there are barely any hours at all - Some programs have poorly trained supervisors who are not very professional and do not seem educated enough to hold their positions - TOEFL used to be the best program to work for, with the most professional and educated oversight personnel, however, now that ETS has reduced rater pay by 20%, I am sure that won't last much longer. The TOEFL test will likely become obsolete, as employee morale has taken a strong downturn, and the pool of qualified raters will surely start dwindling. I'm honestly embarrassed that I recommended working for ETS to several of my skilled, educated friends. This job is really only suited for someone with a full-time job that wants something extra to do or a stay-at-home mom who has someone else as her main source of income. I would say college students, too, but you actually have to have a degree (or graduate degree, in some cases) to work here!
