Pros

Flexible schedule, interesting papers to edit.

Cons

They don't pay on time. I worked for this company for about a year. At first, everything was great, but then my monthly payment would arrive later and later each month. Eventually, they owed me around $10,000 of overdue payments for around 4-5 months of work. They made every excuse under the sun for the late payments and tried to trick me into doing more work for them by claiming to have sent payments that never arrived. This deception included sending pictures of old payslips to try to fool me into thinking they'd sent the overdue payment via international bank transfer. These promises of "we have just sent your payment" never resulted in money arriving in my account. To get my money, I had to threaten to contact every single Harrisco client (contact details are on the papers they send out for editing) and let them know about this company's policy of not paying contractors. When I did this, the lies suddenly stopped and I received the overdue payment the next day. Harrisco then cut contact with me. The other major cons are: 1. They piled far more work onto me than I'd told them I could take on. 2. They're very difficult to communicate with and very dishonest.

Pros

A large volume of work

Cons

They don't pay you. I had to threaten legal action multiple times simply to be paid for work I'd completed. Don't work for them!

Pros

You can set your own schedule, and choose what sort of papers you edit.

Cons

They exploit the fact that foreign workers (ie, not native to South Korea) have no legal recourse, when it comes to conflicts that arise in the course of their employment. Even though they will have you sign a contract that says you will be paid on the 30th of each month, don't believe them. I worked for them for 10 months, and I had to practically beg (and even threaten) to be given my paycheque each time... only to finally get it, two to three weeks late.
