Exciting and Dynamic Workplace

Pros

Management works to accommodate your schedule as best as possible, especially if you are flexible in turn. Full-time home-based position? Yes please. Positive reinforcement; you're thanked and encouraged for good work. At all levels, employees get personal attention and mentoring. You get to work with a CEO who really knows the business. She also values input from employees and customers; she takes feedback very seriously and learns from mistakes. All the employees teach each other things and we communicate often even though we work remotely. With a growing company, there's lots of room for opportunities. Changes happen fast, which means problems get fixed very quickly. They actually care about what you *want* to do in addition to whatever it is you're good at doing.

Cons

You're technically an independent contractor, which brings the burden of managing your own taxes, etc., but you know that going in. It's a fair trade-off for the flexibility they offer. Fast changes and flexibility goes both ways - you're going to need to step up when you hadn't exactly planned on it, but it's worth it for the flexibility you get in turn.

Not Your Average Freelance Workplace

Anonymous employee

Pros

Steady, weekly work. Some tasks are challenging and pay fairly (more so than a lot of other freelance websites or searching for clients yourself). You never have to deal with rude or unreasonable clients because the management does that part themselves. If a client wants to talk to you, you are paid for your time. Deadlines are fair and reasonable. The management team will work with you and your schedule. If something urgent comes up or you feel overworked, management will do their best to work with you and give the extra work to someone else or extend the deadline. Bonuses are given monthly for high marks and high quality work. Editors give honest and constructive feedback and want to see all writers succeed and learn from their experience at this company. Management answers messages and emails in a timely manner if there is a question or concern from a writer.

Cons

Some seasons are slow, especially the summer. Some writers will see a dip in income during this time. The holiday seasons are when it gets really busy and writers will see a rise in income and work. It is still freelance, so work is given as it comes in when clients order.

Pros

Great writing opportunities, awesome to be able to work from home.

Cons

There is absolutely no communication between employees, management, and the CEO. So many tasks, requests, etc. fell through the cracks and even got employees in trouble many times. There were also many irate clients that were understandably upset that their requests had been ignored due to lack of communication. The management changed frequently, which made everyone's jobs more stressful and even more difficult to communicate. I would be contacted at all hours of the day and night regarding different miscommunications and errors that happened that workday, which made a work/life balance very difficult. I never felt like I could "leave."
