It was on my time and I was paid per ad. With that being said, I could make however much I wanted to make.
What I wish was different
I wish that I would have gotten paid more the ad that took longer.
Advice
You have to rate at least five times a week. Each ad-rating day takes from 20 minutes to an hour. Just plan your days accordingly.

What I liked
Job was not particularly difficult, and could work from home

Advice
It's not just playing video games, you're actively testing them. Don't go in with the expectation of being a twitch streamer, you're going to be repeating the same level 100 times.

Floor Supervisor (Technician 2)
April - September 2019 • Corvallis, OR
What I liked
I gained experience working on an assembly line. Following my promotion my duties shifted from more labor based tasks to leadership and organization tasks. I enjoyed optimizing the speed and efficiency of the team.
What I wish was different
I quickly learned that working on an assemble line is monotonous and tiring. I appreciated the experience but do not intend to return.
Advice
I think it is humbling to work a laborious job. You understand just how lucky you are if you have access to higher education. I think it is an experience everyone should have.
Later start time (6 am is too early for a job of this nature). More mental stimilation and/or classes to improve employee skills would have been beneficial towards overall motivation.
Advice
Keep in mind that this is a first job and your status as a tech I is not permanent. Do not do this job unless you want to get into technology or work at HP permanently unless it’s a last resort option.
