Not really worth it
|
|
Good side job, not for full-time
|
The boss can't even help you with writing or editing because she doesn't know how to do the stuff she manages
Blames you if she messes up
Pay is crap
Boss promises clients these major work loads to be done in 2 days and then says oops my bad writer and editors my mouth ran away with me. Oh well. (She's not nice either)

Maybe don't own a company you can't do the work for yourself or at least treat the staff you hire with the respect they deserve. We aren't your pawns we are people in a rough patch trying to find a new job.

Absolute Worse Job, SLAVE WAGES, FAILURE TO PAY!!!
|
|
Work Remotely
Easy Application Process
Quick training process
|
Work is sparse, never steady and provided on an inconsistent basis though Dana demands consistency from her editors and employees.
Contractual obligation is hardly ever met by employer.
Get paid only ONE CENT PER WORD when freelancer going rate is .10/word.
Received a generic termination letter that doesn't even explain why contract is terminated..
Failure to receive final check for one and a half months worth of work.
No communication, nor detailed explanation of payment for completed work.

Pay your employees fair wages and actually payout for services rendered especially after termination.
Better communication and explanation would go a long way..
Be honest and ethical, how do you even sleep at night Dana..?

Easy work, horrible pay, worse communication
|
|
Easy Work
Work from home
Flexible (ish) schedule
|
Work can come at any time, with no regularity, and deadlines are 24 hours after that, so scheduling work is inconvenient. You might leave your schedule open for work and hear nothing, only to check your email the next day to see that you have work due the following morning.
Communication is a major concern. Often work will be assigned to other writers, but not to you, for no apparent reason. Occasionally Email turn around is fast, and fixing problems is easy, but often you won't hear back from an Email for 6 or more hours, and when deadlines are 24 hours after assignments are posted, 6 hours is a really inconvenient amount of time to waste. The management is also afraid of admitting mistakes. I got flagged for missed deadlines a few months back, and yet never received the assignments in the first place. The management was unwilling to figure out the problem, nor even admit the possibility that there was one in the first place.
Pay is also a huge issue, perhaps the biggest. At one penny per word, you're going to make about $1.50 per post. And each post takes about ten minutes, once you've settled into a rhythm. That means that after months of increasing your turn around rate, about the best you can do here is $9 an hour. And every week or so you'll run into some assignments that require up to a half an hour of research. And yet you'll still only make $1.50 for that half-hour.
Training materials are also a garbled mess, and most writers will learn on the job. Much of the training information is repeated too many times and in too many ways that it ceases to make intuitive sense, other training information is glossed over even though it's vital. If the training materials were much more clearly organized, that could stop people from having to spend months to get their turnaround speed up. If you working for $9 an hour is bad, consider that for the first few months, or at least the first few weeks, the turnaround speed is far worse than the speed which nets you $1.50 for ten minutes of work. If it takes you just 20 minutes on average per assignment, then you're talking about less than $5 an hour to start.
That said, it's not as if this job was ever able to be a primary source of income. It's perfect for those without schedules or obligations, who don't mind making very little money for the time they put in.

Raise pay, communicate better, not just about when work can and can't be expected, but in general, and redo the training information. This will help you hold on to your "agents," and stop the employee turnaround from being out of hand.

A Hot Mess
|
|
Good people to work with, good entry level experience.
|
The work was intermittent and would often get assigned at the last minute. We were expected to have it done in less than 24 hours, which is frankly impossible to do if you have anything going on that you have to plan for. The pay is also very low for the amount of work you wind up doing, and the editors and management get onto you for writing the descriptions incorrectly because the rules are contradictory and they can't seem to decide which set of rules they want you to follow. I have years of experience with several different writing styles, and not everything they had me write followed the writing rules they claimed they were following.

I just need everybody to know that it pays $0.01 a word
|
|
-Good for experience
-If you have a lot of time, it's good for a little extra income. They are upfront about it not being able to be a singular income
|
-Very little pay. (Freelance standard is $0.10 a word)

I could work from home.
|
The work was spotty.
My editor almost never got back to me with answers to questions.
They wanted very a very specific style that took a lot of time to get the hang of.
It took way too long to research every item, especially when you only get a penny per word.

Cut down on some of the information you have in the training, like the repetition, and focus more on style.

Terrific Team, Poor Pay
|
|
Lots of support to help you do job correctly, legit work from home job, generous with time off. Would be easy if all writers were up to par.
|
By the time you either revise work (for free), submit it back to the writer and wait for a return, and send required lengthy feedback emails to poor writers, you're making about $2.00 an hour.

You get what you pay for. Ending writer turnover would also help editor turnover. Make criteria lists as one whole consistent document for all to refer to. Extra pay for quality editor feedback.

Product Description

The training was helpful and somewhat useful.
In training, the editor was nice and professional.
The owner was also nice and professional.
|
The pay is poor.
In order to succeed, you must have a paid-description to Grammarly or some other grammar software. Or, you better be excellent at grammar. The company says free grammar is fine, but from what I found, that was not good enough.
Also, the writers have to do a TON a research on the product and sometimes the original manufacturer website does not have enough information.That can take a long time to gather that information. So a writer may be left with writing repetitive words, or ideas which are a big no-no.
