Pros

Flexible schedule, decent communication, and you get to write about video games

Cons

The pay is only worth it if the dollar has high trade value against your currency. They pay $19 per article. Each article can take up to four hours or more to complete, not including research and all the extra content like links and images they expect you to include. Getting an article pitched approved is quite difficult. They expect you to write about the latest games and create guides, but do not supply any keys for this. You will be asked to write about games you have never played. You can be let go for any reason, including asking for a rate increase. You can make it on GameRant as a freelancer, but your social life, mental health, and bank balance will likely suffer.

Pros

Remote work At least it's a place to write about video games Entry-level job if you want to have a company name on your résumé

Cons

It's a content mill: quantity over quality, and the pay is not good Availability of articles on our portal is hit-or-miss (though that's to be expected in this industry) Not a ton of opportunities for career growth: even if you're at GR a while and do a good job, it doesn't seem like freelancers have many chances to earn a full-time/staff writer or editorial job. Lack of creative freedom/writer's voice when writing articles It feels like more time is spent formatting and following very strict guidelines than actually writing Editors seem to be at odds as to what the guidelines are, because they offer contradictory feedback on articles
