Pros

Work from home Flexible hours Long or short shifts

Cons

The recent $4 dollar an hour salary cut was insulting enough. Not so long ago, ETS put us on a timer and on a validity meter. Essay length nor topic complexity had been accounted for. The timer and "validity" meter are pretty insulting as ETS sees us now as pieces of its machine that need constant calibration. I'm a professional who has worked in International Education and ESL for over 10 years. I've been working with ETS for 5 years, and the only major problems I’ve seen with its tests are security issues. I truly enjoy having students show up at my door who are not the same students in the pictures shown on their tests. But, hey! Blame lowly raters for your woes, ETS!

Pros

Support of immediate management and coworkers makes coming to work every day a pleasure.

Cons

Where to start... First, the employee performance evaluation process and methodology has changed from 1) performance vs your job description to 2) OKRs which were completely unattainable and meaningless at every level to 3) rocks and outcomes which again have very little to do with the day to day jobs of most employees. It seems the burden for goals and objectives and performance management has shifted from management to employees as they try to define a methodology that holds only doers responsible for the company's success. All this since Amit Sevak took over. Management manipulated the questions in a recent employee survey to force responses that made it look like there was improvement year over year. Of course, when you add a new President between the employees and the CEO peoples opinion of senior management is improved. Of course when you shift the focus to immediate management from senior management, the responses will be improved. Try issuing the exact same survey as the prior year and see how much "real" improvement there was in the numbers.
