Pros
-Because you are paid per project, if you focus and stick with it, your payrate is on par with your abliity. -Likewise,You aren't going to get rich, but you really can make a decent amount of money doing this and you can do it from any location. Its a great way to support travel! -If you are a lifelong learner with a deep level of curiosity, you are getting paid to hang out online and learn about random topics. Working for Wonder has made me an expert on so many random topics! -Both the administrative staff and the research team as a whole are very positive and helpful, and you actually feel connected to real humans who all support each other- that can be rare with online work. -Self scheduling allows for travel and flexibility, and you can take time off at will. -The admin team takes your feedback seriously, and is always upgrading the platform to create a more supportive work environment for the research team
Cons
-The going is slow when you first start- research feels hard, and it can be overwhelming and feel like you'll never make any money. -There is a pretty steep learning curve (but the team is supportive and if you ask, the veteran researchers are super helpful). -Waiting on your work to get reviewed can be obnoxious- as it often takes a long time and you feel stuck to your computer after you've finished working while you wait to get your work approved.
