Pros

The pay is decent until you realize how much the companies get paid from the client! Flexible workload and schedule - I can work when I want and can make as much/as little as I want. The company makes changes every so often that are for the better - I think they are on the rise! This is a good position to gain experience in resume writing for those who want to become career coaches or have their own resume writing practice.

Cons

You can't see what industry resume you're getting until you accept it. It's impossible for writers to have in depth experience in all industries, so it'd be nice to see what type of industry the resume is for BEFORE accepting the order. Also...I never looked to see how much the company gets paid for the resume from the client. When I looked it up, I was astonished! Clients pay $130-350 for resume services and writers get paid $25-60 per order! I couldn't believe it!

Pros

The communication is excellent and very accessible. A dashboard is provided where you can see a quick overview of number of jobs ready for payment, how many jobs you would like to receive per day along with the type, and how many messages you have. The training is easy-to-use and reference.

Cons

It is hard to catch emails regarding last minute jobs. Some kind of alert feature would be great.

Pros

This is a good remote contract position for a writer seeking bread-and-butter part-time income. The company does pay on time also. You also have the chance to work with a wide range of clients; mine have gone from entry-level to an MD / PhD doing research for the NIH.

Cons

The way they schedule jobs stinks. I was assigned a job that had been given to another writer originally. It was already late, and I received a nastygram about turning in late work and how I would be penalized. I suppose I should have been waiting at my computer at 2 am - when the job was assigned - and ready to jump on this task. I also don't care for the once per month pay schedule. The company receives its funding up front at the time or the order. Also, the highest pay I've received for a resume is $26.00 - the resume in question was a 4-page CV that required extensive research and took nearly 4 hours to complete a first draft. If you actually put some effort into the writing process, the hourly pay comes to about $8.00. I inherited a job in which the original writer merely submitted a shell resume - she had actually left spaces underneath the job listings that said "fill in the blank." The point is, the better and more thorough writers are actually punished financially.
