Cons
You will put in a ratio of up to eight hours of unpaid time per hour of paid time. Expectations of earning $13.50 per hour or working twenty hours per week are grossly exaggerated. They reduce your actual hours worked based on "expected performance metrics" which are impossible to meet in the first several months of employment. Fill in your timesheet for 10 hours of work time, and you will find it reduced by more than half based on their expected productivity. Additionally, assessors study and take tests (all unpaid) for over 66 different tasks. A very limited number of paid tasks can be completed during these first several weeks. Finally, pay is monthly by international wire transfer (from Ireland - which your bank may charge for) and pay is not received until six weeks after the pay period ends. For example, when the September pay period closes (9/30) the payment will not be received in your account until mid-November. Starting out, expect to work up to ten weeks before being paid, and expect to be paid for less than ten hours of "productive time" per month. You could make more money per hour at any minimum wage job. Check the other reviews -- you won't find other assessors contradicting this experience.
