Pros
There's a "bonus" for completed tasks.Fun if you like role-playing I guess.
There's also a qual test for this so limited competition-- I guess.
Cons
Edit: 4/6Wanted further clarification for myself to determine just how many of these can actually be completed if they did take the estimated 5-7minutes advertised, decided to share here. 60minutes ÷ 7 is about 8(8.5) completed an hour. At my completion time 6(6.6). So on top of their low pay, these wouldn't even be good for number padding.
Even with that "bonus", the tasks is still highly underpaid given the time it took, and I started the assignment right away. The estimated time the requester gives is 5-7 minutes, but even if it can be completed within that time you're still looking at about 7.20 an hour(if you get the bonus) or 1.20 an hour(if you don't get the bonus).
You also have to work on someone else's time, this is the most annoying part imo. I'm not sure if the chat system in that HIT is just slow, or if it's another person. Either way, it increases the time it takes to complete these. The agent tasks do seem to pay a bit higher, but the customer role is very underpaid. It's even more insulting because the requester does say you will be rejected(qual task I'm guessing) if you're unavailable, so you're pretty much forced to wait around until they decide to post(I mean I suggest it so that you don't have an unnecessary rejection on your record). Edit: Paid for qual tasks, so I'm not quite sure what exactly the threat of rejection is even for.
Advice to Requester
Raising the base pay of these to 1.00 with the additional 0.50 bonus would make these a fair wage.BluAngel Average Pace
