Pros

Remote work Take jobs at your own pace great interface and online system

Cons

Editing jobs are assigned at odd hours The reviewers assign very negative ratings for minor editing error and sometimes invent errors to lower your rating like the phase "in order to" is too wordy and should be changed to "to". Since your pay depends on ratings, this is a major source of frustration. The editors are clearly incentivized to give low ratings, and are not native English speakers themselves. Thus, they criticize normal sentences as being "awkward" and give low ratings even though to a native speaker the sentence is fine. When these issues were raised, the same poor justifications were repeated and no changes made. Despite quick responses for ongoing editing jobs, the review complaints took over a week to respond to.

Pros

Not many I can think of.

Cons

There is not much area for growth for this position. Maybe this is common for similar positions in other companies, too.
