Pros

There are none. Not anymore.

Cons

I went through a very extensive on-boarding process to be an editor/Quality Assurance proofreader. The files I'm seeing are so bad that I have to RE-TRANSLATE everything from scratch at only $0.01 to 0.02 per word. Highly technical content is being given to inexperienced staff and I need to re-translate at low pay? Absolutely not. Too time consuming. There's rent to pay and I would have to work 90 hour weeks just to make ends meet. RWS is now adopting the sweatshop model.

Pros

Decent paying side job, flexible hours

Cons

Absolute nightmare to get paid. You WILL have to complain in order to get paid, and you will most likely have to complain more than once in order to get the answer you need. I still haven't been paid for work done months ago! Everyone that reads this with a similar issue needs to do what I did and bring it to the attention of the state labor boards.
