Pros
There are no pros. None at all.
Cons
I signed up with Elite in November. It took until May to receive my first manuscript. The senior editor's feedback always took a long time to receive, up to 48 hours of editing time was lost while waiting for each feedback, and it caused the first paper to almost be late. And they had the nerve to blame me. Then there's the lack of communication. I was told to use one app to receive projects. It turns out that's not the app they assign work through. They also lack one book for the agency's House Rules. Information is scattered to the winds and it took me months to find what I needed as they offer ZERO guidance. There is no mentoring. No guidance. You're expected to know every rule without exception, despite them not sending you their list of conventions or despite not receiving any working links to any of their platforms. You're left to make sense of their chaos on your own. And for the work I did do...they're not wanting to pay for my time. I almost get the sense that part of their business model is to find editors to complete a manuscript and then tell them they're not a good fit before paying them. Don't even contemplate this lot. It's not worth the effort. I've been an editor for 12 years and I've never experienced such unprofessional, chaotic conduct such as what I did from this so-called "Elite" mob who only have a couple of contracts.
