Pros
I had total loyalty to this job. I loved the fact that I could pretty much work when I wanted to. Going to school full time and being able to pay the rent (when the hours were good) was awesome. Even better, I got to work in my pajamas.
Cons
Poor management skills and no review process. When you did badly, however (and that is subjective), you could look forward to getting at least a couple of emails telling you what you did wrong. However if you broke your neck to cover for people last minute, and did it often, there was not a single shred of gratitude for your hard work. Hours were cut with no notice, but you had to give notice to request time off. A lot of backstabbing going on. Lack of trust among moderators (there were the favorites, and the others). I have never worked with a more unprofessional group of people. When you're writing a letter to your boss attacking another moderator, you might want to make sure you don't "accidentally" send it to the whole team. Of course, complaining about that, will get you "laid off to reduce head count." I gave that job almost 3 years of my life. I missed out on doing things with friends and family to help cover hours or to pick up extra ones. My time at Liveworld was well spent, or so I thought, until my last year there.
