Pros

- Hours mostly flexible -

Cons

- Hours based on one time zone - Can only score from personal computer and internet access (at home) - Pay is minimum wage for where you live - OSCAR scoring system can be unforgiving (example: even 80% overall accuracy can be considered failure and get you locked out of the scoring system, unable to work) - Feedback/rationales that supervisors write to justify essay scores are often very biased in phrasing and go against everything you are taught in the self paced training - You essentially have to onboard yourself because chat support won't respond due to high volume, and supervisors don't even introduce themselves to you until you get something wrong, and that might be after you have already scored hundreds of responses. - Automated time card system often records less time than you actually worked, and it malfunctions conveniently on the day that time card edits are due

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.
