"No deadline too short, no client too unreasonable" is the company slogan. - Recensione dipendente - Editor presso EditorLive

Working from home Interesting articles to edit Easy-to-use interface to grab jobs (basically, you clock in on a website and then grab jobs to edit from a queue on the company's website) Supportive management and fun coworkers Easy to track your daily word count and commission If you can get on a shift that works for you, then you will likely have time to earn income from a second gig or freelance work.

Some jobs, by their nature, are boring. For me, papers on algorithms, organizational management, education/teacher training, and nursing are very boring. Some of our clients produce heavy ESL writing, which combined with a boring paper topic, can be a grind. Like any distribution, the documents tend to cluster around average difficulty, so it's not too bad.

Editors work from home, communicating with management through IM and Skype. Paychecks don't bounce. Company's servers are generally always up.

Salary and incentive structure is completely flat. No raises, no bonuses, no increased commission -- EVER. Loyalty to employees is completely absent. At least half of all editors were recently laid off (July 2013) with no warning -- and were notified by a ONE SENTENCE, poorly-worded EMAIL. Decisions are made arbitrarily and policies are instituted without proper consideration (and are often later revoked). Commission structure (40%) is low. Editors are treated like children -- instructed not to communicate with other editors and given as little information about their jobs as possible. A ratings system was recently established, but with no method of correcting errors in the ratings. Even after a client notified the company that he or she meant to give an editor five stars, but mistakenly believed that one star was the highest rating, the one star rating was allowed to stand and the editor's overall ranking was negatively affected. Senior editors are allowed to retaliate against rank and file editors whom they do not like, by withholding the highest paying assignments. Horrible company.
