Pros

Could be fun if you can get past the entrance exam.

Cons

Exam is very difficult to pass. It does not offer any feedback on your work or tell you why you didn't pass so it's impossible to learn from your mistakes and move foward. They only give you two attempts and then you cannot try again for 30 days. Probation period? Really? There is no way to contact anyone in customer service or management. Also, it takes about an HOUR to transcribe 4 minutes of dialogue according to their very strict regime. So basically, you will be getting paid a dollar an hour.

Pros

sounds great on paper. promised to make you a part of a highly professional, well paid organization

Cons

no upfront information on actual salaries/remuneration. getting through the training is extremely time consuming. after spending copious amounts of time and energy preparing to take the "pre" qualification exam, failed not once, not twice, not three times, but FOUR times. Each time, there is absolutely NO feedback on what you did wrong. So it's impossible to course correct. After all the hours spent and attempts to be accepted, the site shows they're not even accepting applications by way of taking an actual qualification exam. Their qualifications are extreme. I say this as a published author, former high school teacher, and holder of a Master's Degree. I've never had any problems with punctuation or with following format. Used their style guide to ensure I was doing everything right. Total waste of time.
