It's gone drastically downhill. Was warned by many former employees. Tried it anyways. Should have listened to them. - Recensione dipendente - News Writer presso Static Media

Vantaggi

It's a remote job you can live off of if you are desperate, but there isn't any security, and you will be monitored and trimmed ASAP.

Svantaggi

Editor I work with is horrible. Those who rise to the top are the ones willing to step on others. This wasn't always the case. Years ago, editors were on the writer's team and would work with them. Now they are clearly there as the "screw turners" for higher ups, and nothing more. In the case of this editor, his own work is poor quality clickbait of a variety worse than Static Media's. He's only written two articles for this company, years ago. He is not interested in helping his team be better writers, just better cogs. He gives the impression that he is at best indifferent and inconvenienced by editing your work. Really bad taste in my mouth with this company and that editor. Things have gotten so much worse here. Trust your gut. Find something better, human, with potential to learn and grow. This ain't it. Which is why I'm leaving.

Vantaggi

Occasionally fun topics. Scheduling flexibility. Remote work. Money for words.

Svantaggi

After a few months you may be lulled into the sense that all the complaints in the freelance community are just whiny or entitled or coming from unskilled writers. Then you'll get an editor who makes a litany of nonsensical revision requests, demands citations on common sense assertions, and seems incapable of reading above a sixth grade level. Once you make the requested revisions, they'll publish your article with a whole slew of new grammatical errors you didn't make. Then they'll fire you for not meeting their "quality standards." They don't have quality standards. They have a mindbumbingly pointless churn and burn content mill business model. The editors are so completely different and inconsistent that you'd have to know which one you're writing for in order to submit a piece that doesn't get sent back for revision. And you never know who you're going to get. Often, it's more than one. Getting pieces sent back for revision isn't part of the editorial process here; it's grounds for termination. If you're desperate for work, sure, take a role here. Just don't count on keeping it. One day you're getting shout outs from the editors on your good work. The next day, you're just out.
