Pros

The people are nice and the work is reasonable. Very flexible with classes schedule, and the work you do is easily comparable to working as a full time employee.

Cons

The office has a low male to female ratio, meaning there are more females than males. This has lead to an increase in the amount of office drama, and gossip.
