Pros

As a freelance writer there is a ton of freedom. You are technically not an employee, so you can kind of come and go as you please, as long as you get the work done on time. The woman in charge of the writers at the Rochester branch is amazing. She clearly cares and makes the writers feel more appreciated and needed than anyone else there. It is a rapidly growing company, and I like working here and being a part of it. I just wish I could be more of a part of it.

Cons

The computer system the writers use is often kind of buggy. The assignments that you finish can just sit in a review queue for over a month, so you do not get paid regularly. Even though the writers are technically just contract work, it feels like we are just peons, even though we are creating the body of content provided to the clients. I have been here for three months, and have yet to get enough assignments to make it worth working here, even though I am constantly told that there are more than enough to go around.
