Vantaggi
- The pay is consistent and on time (every other Friday). - The Wonder community on the Slack forum is always very supportive and friendly. - I am usually able to work any time I am available, so long as it is not during usual downtime periods.
Svantaggi
- That said, work may not be available when I might need it most. - My effective hourly rate gets very low with questions that take longer to answer, and down to zero if my response gets rejected. This is extremely frustrating and very unfair. - I am left to my own devices to find out the answers to very specific, niche questions, sometimes. Using the Internet can be a limitation in itself when it comes to answering industry-specific research requests. Only those with industry expertise could answer it properly. - Such research requests occur when they slip through the Planning and/or Vetting stages. - I never received thorough training, which is needed to tackle problems that the WRC or Slack members can't address. The average question is complex, and there are no instructions or research strategies taught so you can approach any of the randomly assigned questions with confidence. - You have to figure out too much by yourself, and this can be stressful.
