Pros

If you can get into a rhythm, it's not hard to crank out an essay and critique in 2-3 hours. That would net you about $15/hr on average. You can work from anywhere, as long as you have internet access.

Cons

I had a great track record and a lot of my customers gave me the highest feedback ratings possible but one customer disliked my work, complained, and I got a harsh rebuke and wasn't paid for the work I did. I felt that was over the top given my track record adn given that the work I did for that customer was the same as my other highly-rated work.

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
