    One and done

    Oct 3, 2017 - Quiz Optimizer in Lexington-Fayette, KY

    Pros

    Study pays twice per month consistently.

    Cons

    Very low pay for the work and experience required. I had a ten month contract to optimize quizzes and received very good feedback on my work. The contract expired on September 30th and I did not receive any feedback on renewal or discontinuance. I tried logging onto my account and found out my log-in credentials are invalid. Study uses you and drops you like without any notice. Do NOT work for these dirt-bags!

    Great as a first job or for experience purposes!

    Pros

    I get to decide my workload and schedule.

    Cons

    The pay for doing an assignment is $0.40 which means I have to do a lot for a good pay. Also, I get paid 2 times a month.

    Good and the bad

    Pros

    The work is interesting. Flexibility - You can work as much or as little as you want as long as work is available.

    Cons

    The pay is terrible for the amount of time it takes to produce an 'asset.'

    Not great

    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Work when you want and very flexible.

    Cons

    Horrible pay for the time it takes to write and review material. Do not get great feedback from the staff when you have issues. Major inconsistencies from 'editors', coding issues, somewhat of a learning curve for learning how to use the tools, issues having to use open source photos, some of the lesson outlines are strange and don't make sense, but you have to adhere to using weird phrases inside of your lessons.

    Not worth the money

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    I enjoy the work, it helps develop my research skills

    Cons

    It is not worth it, financially. It takes too long to answer the questions and the price they pay for each question is almost nothing.

    Not that great

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    You get to working from home, on your own time.

    Cons

    Terrible pay for the amount of work/research and lesson length. Lessons are a minimum of 1,000 words for $60! Most of the time, the lessons turn out to be longer due to the amount of content that is required. My last lesson was over 1600 words.

    Pros

    -work however much I want, when I want (for insufficient pay)

    Cons

    -terrible pay given my degree and expertise -unrealistic expectations for quality content, based on pay and devoted time -insufficient communication with team members -was offered a position to come back. I said maybe, if I can negotiate a pay raise. They said not possible, so I said no.

    Worst place to work for as a contractor.

    Jul 3, 2017 - Anonymous Contractor 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Seems amazing on the outside (work when you want, as little or as much as you want) but in reality it's far different.

    Cons

    Most of the reviewers are nice but some are on power trips who simply do not know what they are talking about, or feel OK to abuse you. You will have no recourse to this and cringe nearly every time you get an e-mail from them. You will end up making very little money after you pay all your own taxes. For the amount of work you put in and dealing with the arrogant management, it is not worth it.

    Pros

    Work when you want from wherever you want.

    Cons

    Not much pay for the amount of work required to answer homework questions from popular textbooks. Unceremoniously dropped when company decided they temporarily didn't require services of experts. Will not even notify you that your contract is over and not being renewed.
