Exploitative and awful - Recensione dipendente - Editor presso Capstone Editing

No pros for the company

The selection process for an editor position is typically a scam. The company sends a one-page test to be edited. They informed me that if I were shortlisted, they will contact me. Then I was surprised that they contacted to say that I was not shortlisted and attached a paraphrased document, and assuming that this is their level of requirement for editing documents, as if I ignore the difference between editing and paraphrasing! The astonishing issue is that they use the recruitment process to promote their paid, discounted courses. Please be careful in dealing with this company as they change the provided content, not edit it, which means that they are not honest, and they use their job opportunities to withdraw money from editors.

The training program was high quality

Exploits workers by overworking and underpaying, extremely stressful work environment, enforces these terrible conditions by dangling the threat of not paying you for your work above you at all times, zero team-building environment and zero sense of camaraderie, exploits the status of contract to deny its workers rights, etc.
