Pros

Hourly pay rates for many projects are great, sometimes even exceptional. They are also very fair with time logging by allowing us to log time spent reading instruction as well. No Hubstaff, no screen capture, and no re-test every single time a new project come ups.

Cons

Make no mistake, this is still a side hustle. Work availability is not guaranteed. They are also not cooperative. They work in secrecy. They barely communicate with you. They don't tell you if the project has gone from your dashboard because the project is finished or you are finished. They offer only one method of payment (PayPal). They don't offer help, or even respond, when you have problems that involve document of proof or representation. They don't even give you work agreement or work contract. Do your best and these pay rates will change your life for much better for months or even years, but anything else you are on your own.

Great to work for, lots of work once you get past initial assessment as a specialist for coding. Receiving payments is seamless.

Cons

Work can be tedious and require long blocks of time.

Pros

Easy to get set up and work through the "entrance tests", and fairly easy to earn through your first project. The pay per project is OK (in THEORY), but in practice it can be difficult to make real money (see cons).

Cons

My experienced was, unless you have expertise in a very in-demand area like STEM, multilingual, or teaching, the available projects quickly dry up. They then encourage you to "take more qualification tests to see more projects." However, after the tests are taken, no indication is given as to the results and at times nothing more shows up in projects. In the end it can be a random, and disorienting process.
