Pros

It is remote work so there is some flexibility. (however you have to be glued to you computer all day or else they will not pay)

Cons

low pay, lack of communication regarding when projects are anticipated to end. Typically I have found out a project is concluded by there being no more batches to check out on Haystack, which I find to be incredibly unprofessional. There is also a significant amount of time in between projects, and it is difficult to get 40 hours each week. Which makes it impossible to determine if your monthly pay will cover your rent/other bills.

Pros

There are no pros at Haystack ID

Cons

Low hourly wage, no overtime, no benefits, empty promises of work end up being weeks of no work tied to projects that end with little work.  Of all the E-discovery companies, this is by far the worst.  Every time I sign up for a project at Haystack, I regret it, because I end up tied up, to a project with low hours, long pauses and little regard for the reviewer.  It seems other companies have have an upper hand over the law firms, and don't allow for them to keep reviewers hanging for undetermined periods. Haystack seems to be bullied and controlled by law firms and allows them to do whatever they want, hence hurting the reviewers at the bottom with no work.  Managers have a copy and paste email they send to reviewers "I was once a reviewers, and know how frustrating it is to be in your shoes" but they do nothing about it.
