Pros

If your work is good, you get access to higher-paying projects. Some of mine pay $42.50-$45 per hour. The work is interesting, often fun, and you can learn a lot about different topics. You can also specialize in areas in which you have expertise. The work is fully remote and the schedule is 100% flexible. If you test well, there's enough available work that you could work more than 40 hours per week. On the flip side, if you want to work only a couple of hours, or take a few weeks off altogether, there is no penalty. The flexibility that the job provides (not to mention the good compensation) outweighs any cons.

Cons

The compensation is 1099 income, meaning you probably will be paying a lot of it back in self-employment tax.

Pros

Well-paid remote work with incredibly flexible hours. Variety of projects and work at times, and the pay is great for what it is.

Cons

The company doesn't communicate well with it's employees, and can fire you or stop giving you projects on a whim without explanation. The project's aren't consistent sometimes, and you have to put in some unpaid (or poorly paid) time doing qualifications to work your way up to better work.
