You can work as much or as little as you want/need to on any given day, as long as the minimum of one job a month is met. As for the pay, at the beginning, when you're learning how to apply the style guide and getting used to the platform and how things work, yes, the pay is US$15 per audio hour. TranscribeMe is very upfront with this rate. As you gain more practice and experience you can work towards joining special teams and or projects where the pay rate is higher. Also, how fast and how accurate you are when working will impact how much you earn.

Pros

sounds great on paper. promised to make you a part of a highly professional, well paid organization

Cons

no upfront information on actual salaries/remuneration. getting through the training is extremely time consuming. after spending copious amounts of time and energy preparing to take the "pre" qualification exam, failed not once, not twice, not three times, but FOUR times. Each time, there is absolutely NO feedback on what you did wrong. So it's impossible to course correct. After all the hours spent and attempts to be accepted, the site shows they're not even accepting applications by way of taking an actual qualification exam. Their qualifications are extreme. I say this as a published author, former high school teacher, and holder of a Master's Degree. I've never had any problems with punctuation or with following format. Used their style guide to ensure I was doing everything right. Total waste of time.
