Pros

By going to class and taking notes--what I do as a college student on a daily basis anyways--I was able to earn up to $500 for each class I was in. You are paid twice which is mid-semester and at the end of the semester. This is an easy way to make some pocket money while you're in school.

Cons

You will only get the max pay of $500 if you're in a large enough class and you invite/share links to your fellow students, otherwise they can cancel your pay or only pay you like $150 so make sure you encourage your fellow students to get involved. The paychecks can take a while to come in, so don't plan your budget around them.

Pros

GradeBuddy is great if you're a good note-taker. The position inherently requires you to be a diligent student, attend every class, and take great notes. So when you accept the position, you have to really take your class seriously whether you feel like it or not because the class is now not just about the grades you receive, but getting paid. Plus, you work when you, your own schedule, and it feels that you help students out.

Cons

The job is pretty limiting. They only offer you to create material for specific classes. And at least when I worked there, you cap off at each class at $500.

Pros

They did a great job notifying you when to get your notes posted and I got paid half of my money on time during mid semester.

Cons

End of semester was suppose to receive the rest of my money and I didn't. I emailed them a bunch of times and never heard a thing so I decided to go to their Facebook page and say something along with like 100 more students complaining about not getting paid and they took their page down. Will NOT ever do business with them again.
