Remote work...when there IS work available.

Where do I start? This company is a joke. As an entry-level proofreader, you have to wait til certain times to request "guaranteed availability" which you have to do or else they will nickel and dime you for using their job board, which never has work, and take from the money you have made when you do get work. If you don't monitor the queue 24/7, work is likely to get snatched up as soon as it comes through. The guaranteed hours take your time, but there's never any work and the hours are always overnight or early in the morning. Basically, they will do everything they can to get free work out of you and still charge you.
