Pros

- Tailored content to your personal interests and strengths - A fun and productive atmosphere in the main office between editors and writers - A good starter job for early writing experience if you can handle the obvious flaws in the company

Cons

- A cowardly boss who effectively bullies his employees (between regular playstation breaks) - No patience or planning when trying new ideas that could benefit the site in the long run - Too stubborn to deviate from the click bait format - A laughable lack of human interaction from the boss towards his minions. - Low pay and a lack of bonuses/incentives - Nepotism. Muchos nepotism

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!
