Pros

Articles got read by millions, very positive feedback from people.

Cons

They keep pushing you to write more and more even if they know you have a full time job and life on top of it. It made me resent writing for the first time in my life. And then one day without any notice they suspended my account and I never got any feedback as to why. Extremely unprofessional and just ridiculous. Are toddlers running this website?

Pros

It was a very fun job. Had the chance to write about a lot of different subjects that interested me. Editors were always so sweet and cordial, happy to help.

Cons

I felt like I was never going to advance beyond writing into editing, which I really wanted. Making my own hours was fun but I began to want something more locked down.

Pros

There are a lot of people that look at this site because they are so visible. The pay isn't awful, although it takes 3 months to get any money. The submission process is easy, but painstaking.

Cons

Your pitches will be rejected for no reason, and then if you get a pitch approved then the real trouble starts. They will reject your entire article for no reason at all, or a reason that is simply petty. They will approve articles and then reject them out of bias or the fact that they've already had something somewhat close to the same topic years ago. They are also total snobs when it comes to writing style and their replies are not only insulting but belittling as well. Don't work for them!
