Pros

As others have said, you make your own schedule. I've also had great relations with management. They always value our input, even if they don't follow it. There is constant re-assessing of the job, the platform, and how we can do better. I also know we work for some very high-profile clients but we don't get to see who most of the time. In many ways, I'm grateful because there isn't pressure from management to "really do well with this one." It's an equal playing field for how we perform. It's not going to make you rich, but it'll help you pay the bills here and there. Very rarely is this someone's entire livelihood although it may be their main source of income.

Cons

It is a steep learning curve, and in the beginning, it will take a lot of effort for very little payout. The research questions vary widely in topics and subjects. Unlike before, we no longer have the option to choose what we work on and are randomly assigned questions which can be very scary at first. There are situations and set backs where you can't understand fully how to get better except by reading and learning from other researchers. After being here a year I find that most people who have a general knack for it tend to stick around in the long run.
