Vantaggi

At first the editors seem welcoming, and although you do have to jump through lots of hoops with "practice" articles, they do pay for these.

Svantaggi

The pay! I was really shocked when I realized how dismal the pay is, despite all the formality they require. $5 for a 500-word article? Are they out of their minds? Also, the "sweet" disposition of the editors turns sour if you continue to make even simple mistakes that easily would be corrected a time or two later. There's a lot to remember. When you pour your heart into a piece (*for peanuts!*) they'll dismiss the good piece and chide you for a formatting error. They make you feel like you're simply set up to fail, so you just quit. Or at least that's what I did. I don't recommend this. It's not worth it to a real writer.

Thanks for your honest opinion. We do try to be as transparent as possible on our website and training materials about pay, and we're sorry if that was misconstrued. As for your advice on balancing expectations versus assignment quality, that is always an ongoing process and we'll definitely take that into consideration. We wish you the best!

Vantaggi

Owners/managers were hands-on in a good way. They were actually kind people who wanted to develop me to do better, even though I was a contract employee. My emails before, during, and after employment never went unanswered--I appreciate that.

Svantaggi

Sometimes not enough work to go around.
