Pros
* Flexible hours * Flexible demands in terms of expected weekly number of articles * Excellent portfolio building opportunity * Largely hands-off management means that it's easy to write articles that interest you
Kontras
* Completely disorganized. Echoing what others have said about an utter lack of top-down management. This sometimes means things like not being sent instructions for invoicing pay, or having them make errors with your invoice once it's been sent out. * Infrequent communication. Editors almost never provide feedback or answer questions. * Changing priorities and directives mean that it's difficult to gage what they actually want from your articles or formatting. * Adherence to SEO-driven practices means that articles are meant to conform to a disengaging style that you know as a fan of the material you'd never read, so you also know that no one else is ever going to read it either. * The churn for how many articles they publish a week means that no one is doing their best work. * Work-life balance is technically great because you aren't incentivized to care about the job in the least.
