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

Pros

Work from home. Get as much work as you can manage. Set your own pace.

Cons

Very difficult to make enough to justify your time. I have been working in training mode, and basically the "training" is them showing you an example and then pointing out what you do wrong while you attempt to work with a client. There is not much creative thinking aside from attempting to rephrase prior experience. It has taken almost a week with every client working a few hours a day, meaning you are paid around 13 pounds for almost 6 hours of work. Perhaps I am just really bad at it, but I have been writing for over ten years and have never felt so discouraged at a job.
