    Actually my boss is kinda pissed at them, he thinks this guy is useless and I'm basically leading the project now and he's manual labor. Right now I've got him creating a 15 server SQL Server farm for me.

    WORK MINION. WORK!

    Pros: Engaging task with decent compensation. Completing it with some sort of effort should open you up for a second study that is 15 minutes and $12.
    Cons: This task could take longer for others depending on the effort put in but at the same time it could be shorter for others as well.

    NoblisCV [A1A0CXMHXTUN4E] Subject image review (WARNING: This HIT may contain adult content. Worker discretion is advised.) - $0.15


    Generous

    1-3 days

    Excellent
    $21.60 / hour
    00:00:25 / completion time
    Pros: Noblis tends to have a huge variety of HITs that pop up during the year, some are better than others but they usually pay at least minimum wage and because the formatting is usually pretty bad they can be improved to a very well paid hourly rate with the use of scripts.

    They're fantastic about communicating back/forth with workers and are usually prompt in resolving issues that come up.

    Getting "up to speed" on their various HITs is super quick if you take the time to read the directions. Their instructions are usually very clear and often contain visual examples to help out.

    With a script these take 15-25s for me ($25-$30/hr).

    Generally they go to auto-approval time. Sometimes ranging from 3-7 days IME. This batch is 3 days.
    Cons: They're often hit with sub par work because they don't utilize qualifications very well. They've largely moved over to a closed qual system lately though so this less of a problem nowadays.

    The pay can be mediocre if you're not utilizing scripts depending on the HIT. In general the pay can vary a good bit between tasks.
