Pros

-They pay on time every month -If you do the work well, your contract will continue to be renewed -Very flexible schedule

Cons

-Little room for growth. You can do an amazing job and get stuck in the same position for the entirety of your career with them. -Pay is not enough to live off of unless you're in a management position. In today's economy, don't plan to earn enough to sustain a household. Even at full time hours. -Inconsistency with work availability. The jobs are project based. Unless you're in a management position, you're at risk of projects ending with little to no notice, leaving you with little to no hours until they find something new to transfer you to

Pros

The work tasks are relatively clear, and my colleagues are very friendly and always offer help when I don't understand something. The company's policies and culture are also very transparent.

Cons

Sometimes due to urgent work delivery timelines.

Pros

Working at home on the computer.

Cons

Lack of proper communication. No phone communication whatsoever, only by sending in tickets and emails. They hired me for a project for me to review advertisements and I worked hard at this task and always looked back at the materials as a guideline to keep all my answers as per how they want them to be. However, this was not good enough for them and I was retested. Of course, I knew they would fail the retest and fire me immediately. In addition, I have been putting in my house on my time sheet and they have not paid me once. They claim I will be paid for the hours I billed for but I have not seen any money yet. I am giving up on seeing any pay and my working with Appen has been a total waste of my time when I could have been putting in my efforts working for someone else.
