Pros
Worked as an online scoring professional for FIFTEEN years & every year there is less and less to like about it. I can't even state that going to work in my pjs is a pro anymore because the rest is sooooo bad.
Cons
THIS FOR ONLINE READER/SCORER First ETS thinks of you as an animal in a cage just waiting for their decision whether you work or not that week. Used to be ETS was excellent at pre-planning staffing needs so that everyone got 40 hours every week of the administration and the tests got scored. No more. I don't believe they have 4gotten how; they just don't care anymore. Hire lots and lots of readers, never have a shortage, and ETS is taken care of. Who cares if the animals schedule 40 hours on their little schedule, SET THOSE HOURS ASIDE OUT OF THEIR LIVING SCHEDULES, and only get 0-8 with only 24 hours notice when we cancel the days one at a time? Who cares? Well it sure ain't ETS. And they make certain it's 24 hrs cancel notice because the ETS contract states they have to pay you a little bit if the cancel notice is less. I have literally received cancel notices timed 1 minute before it would be considered less than 24 hours. Next, I'm expecting that to disappear out of the contract. BOTTOM LINE: If you enjoy being thought of as nothing but a thing, have absolutely no life so that you can keep your schedule arranged around ETS, while they really don't care, do not expect recognition for loyalty [15 years], or consideration of tenure [15 years] take this job. You'll absolutely love it!
