Pros

Interesting work, Work from home

Cons

Trainers want you to lie about content of client's CV Trainers can be impatient and sometime harassing in their messages Trainers let you go once they decide you are either too smart for their mind games or you can't do more than 1 CV per day. It is all about making profits and not looking after their staff.

Pros

Work from anywhere Great customer service staff

Cons

The system is flawed/skewed against writers because:- Orders can take weeks to complete - therefore delayed payment Customers can make endless changes, even after you've completed work by their deadline Have to wait for either the system or the client to "approve an order" - customers hardly ever approve orders... Time vs Money - Although the payment for one CV is £12.50, which is OK if the orders are completed quickly - but they're not so you land earning next to nothing for your efforts

Pros

Started good and good training. Seemed like the best CV company and would have recommended to friends.

Cons

Simply they dont pay. I would hate for them to recruit any more writers and for them to be in the same situation. How they can expect writers to wait 2+ months to be paid is beyond me. They take such a big cut as well for the average cv you would get £12/13, coupled with all the changes it really isnt worth it. Management ignore emails.

Hello, We have just been provided with access to respond to reviews on our Glassdoor page. Apologies as this review is now quite old - we would have liked to be able to respond sooner! May I please ask you to write in to writer.management@jamesinnes.com with your details so we can review whether any payment remains outstanding at this stage? As far as we are aware all invoicing is currently up to date! Kind regards, Peter
