Pros

Easy money, remote jobs, flexible time.

Cons

Sweat house in which there is no actual help and up front explanation what requirements there are for a job/task to be accepted. I worked on video annotation and after a week my contract was paused. Not terminated or anything just paused. The job is still live as I can see the batches of work arriving. I am simply paused. They own I met their criteria to stay on the job that were highlighted with every day email. No clear explanation was given and now it's all just limbo.
