Pros

Working from home. Fellow workers were lovely, honest hard working people. Unfortunately most were too scared to speak out at the ill treatment until after they were all laid off when there jobs were given to New Zealand instead.

Cons

Too many to list. In a nutshell they'd do anything they could to squeeze the last cent of profit from everything. Arbitrary decisions that they would change at will to deduct up to 50% of your pay. They'd take up to quarter of your pay for saying the customers name in the second to last sentence instead of the last sentence, or for getting a single comma or full stop wrong. There were no lows they wouldn't stoop to in an effort to not pay their so called contractors. In reality we were employees but they could get away with paying us as little as $2 an hour by making us be self employed - and yes, they'd guide us through the process of becoming self employed and then train us to do the job because (unlike real contractors) we weren't offering skills, we'd never been self employed before, so we had to be trained how to do the job. Do not ever agree to work for them unless you are getting an hourly rate or pay and read the contract or better still take it to a lawyer, or they will make sure you end up working for virtually nothing. It was the most hostile working environment I, and 120 of my fellow workers, have every encountered.
