Pros
- Can work whenever you want, as much as you want - Pay *has potential* to be good ($25-$65 per hour) - Can do work related to your field (with degree), or more generalized work (without degree) - Interview process is literally just taking a test - Good if looking for extra income or part-time work - Doing good work results in more projects sent your way - 100% Work from home (or somewhere with wifi)
Cons
- Almost no human interaction at all - No benefits of any sort (no healthcare, dental, etc...) - No matter how many hours you put in, you are always self-employed - Availability of work fluctuates - Work in your specific field may not always be available - Can be difficult to make it a full time job - They can drop you without warning or notice - No possibility of career growth as far as I can tell - Some projects require you to work 8+ hours in a day, others only 30 minutes. The act of checking how long a project will take means it might no longer be available to you if you wait too long.
