Pros

-Flexibility -Ability to make up hours on Saturdays -Clock in and clock out anytime from 6am to 8pm -HR is attentive with on the job injury (carpal tunnel development) and will purchase ergonomic items if asked. -Don’t have to speak to anyone

Cons

-Holidays are not paid. You get Memorial Day and one other holiday that no one cares about. Holiday season is a bummer when you’re required to not work on a holiday that the client doesn’t want to work, but you will not get paid. -The pace is ridiculous and they don’t take burnout into account. -They also don’t have compassion for their employees. Coworkers of mine do not have power due to a tornado hitting Houston and they are still required to work. They cannot afford a smaller check by taking a day off. Those coworkers were told “we can’t give you a paid day off for a storm”. -40 hours are required, but you are labeled as a contract worker. The company gets to take advantage of you in many ways through these kinds of loop holes.

Pros

Fully work from home job

Cons

Work-life-balance (the way tasks availability works makes it so that you have to stay home most of the day to get hours) Pay (the pay is not competitive at all) Poor management (little to no communication and frequently overhiring, which adds to the lack of available work) Benefits (benefits are only available if you work a certain amount of hours per year, even if they do not have tasks available frequently) Vacation time (vacation time is awarded similarly to the way benefits work. Therefore your vacations are lessened by when task availability decreases) Lack of clarity (company stages meetings under the guise of transparency, but do not address worker concerns, up to and including concerns over lack of work) Mass layoffs (company does mass layoffs frequently, sending out termination emails to multiple employees at once periodically, which adds to general stress and uncertainty about job stability)
