Pros

The only pro would be if you're living in a country where the conversion from the American dollar to your country's currency is quite high. Then maybe you'll be able to afford to live. You probably won't though.

Cons

The low pay is awful. If you live in the United States, you will never, ever make a living wage by working with TranscribeMe. The admins are cliquey, unhelpful, and at times downright rude. The review periods are unreasonable. They happen without warning and sometimes drags on for weeks, delaying pay. The constant updates on Yammer are annoying.

Pros

sounds great on paper. promised to make you a part of a highly professional, well paid organization

Cons

no upfront information on actual salaries/remuneration. getting through the training is extremely time consuming. after spending copious amounts of time and energy preparing to take the "pre" qualification exam, failed not once, not twice, not three times, but FOUR times. Each time, there is absolutely NO feedback on what you did wrong. So it's impossible to course correct. After all the hours spent and attempts to be accepted, the site shows they're not even accepting applications by way of taking an actual qualification exam. Their qualifications are extreme. I say this as a published author, former high school teacher, and holder of a Master's Degree. I've never had any problems with punctuation or with following format. Used their style guide to ensure I was doing everything right. Total waste of time.
