Congrats on passing the test, of course the main positive of working for KGB is you get paid! Of course some people might laugh at working for $2 or $3 an hour, but its not bad money for just sitting at the computer.
I think it just depends on each person about what might be the negatives of working at KGB.
For me personally, the worst part of KGB is when you get the impossible to answer questions, or questions that would take a complete expert in that field hours if not days to do the research. Some questions along the lines 'How many touchdowns have the Jets scored during full moons since 1969' or 'Who were all the left handed Civl War Generals and how many kids did they have?'. These type of questions...so they majorly slow you down, you spend 5-10 minutes trying to find any leads on the answer/ asking for ideas in chat and so that takes up time where you could be answering other questions, You either put out a weak 'alternate answer' or send the canned 'There are some questions we can't answer' response.
There might be other people that might not want to answer question after question about penises and vaginas. You will get plenty of these and I've seen plenty of people go with the 'choose not to answer' response. In my latest email from my 'team supervisor' she made a point of saying you should come up with an answer for all sex questions. So there are obviously some people who are not comfortable answering those.
There are other people that might not want to constantly look up things about rap music, Lil ' Wayne, Taylor Swift, Justin Beiber, Miley Cyrus, WWE, video game cheats, cell phone features, as I've said before on these forums, the average user of KGB is under 18, I'm convinced of that.
So different people will have different things about the job they don't like. I'm sure others might add other things that they don't like.

Thank you and thanks for the ingo. I received my training email and another one that said "time sensitve" but I haven't had a chance to read them throughly. I'm hoping I will like it.
Do you work for any others like Kgb? If I may ask what's the most you have made working with them? I'm hoping to find something in addition to this so I won't have to work outside the home.

A similar way to make money to kgb is Amazon mturk, though really if you have the oppurtunity to KGB you would probalby make more with KGB, just depends on the kind of things you can do on mturk. Also a way to make a little money, and I mean very little :) is to do online surveys. PM me and I can give you a list of survey companies that I have been paid by. There is also a system called 'quicktate' that you can make a little money doing dictation online, but I've only heard of this I have no experience with it.
As far as I know, its very hard to add all of these things up enough to really make an equivalent of even working at McDonalds.
The most I would say a person could really make with KGB is $600/month....thats probably about working 8-10 hours every day of the month...the top earners make $1000 a month but as another post in the forum point out, I really don't see that as possible without literally being on every waking moment.

@aguy82. You made some very valid points. I like your honesty! It helps people to be more prepared for what to expect working for kgb_. Obviously they can't completely go into full detail on the main website about the job. And in addition, I would like to add that 600 a month is definitely possible but that's still pretty difficult. There is no "average salary" for kgb_. It just depends on how many questions you answer, how many other people are working, how many questions are coming in, and how focused you are. Overall, I like working for kgb_. I can work whenever I want and I don't have to worry about daycare for my daughter. :)
