Pros

- Work from home. - "Write" for a living, although sometimes you will have to copy directly what the client wants on their website, and the writing itself isn't extensively creative, usually. - Gain copywriting/SEO tag experience. - They do pay writers, and are legit.

Cons

- The daily quotas are a bit much considering the average website is actually about 10 pages, and each page tends to take longer than you would expect. - If you can pump out pages super fast (stressing yourself level of speed), you can make OKAY money. Otherwise, you will average out a VERY poor hourly rate. - Having to bid for sites to work on can be a pain, is at times exhausting in it's competitiveness, and doesn't guarantee you will get to work on that particular site. - The "writing" work is tedious, often boring, and involves some copying/pasting, and also is a lot of repetitious SEO tags, etc. For a true creative writer type, it's a very tedious, boring job. - Websites have to go through an editing process, etc. and sometimes it can takes weeks before you are paid for your work.

Pros

Good benefits, good pay, and the hiring process was a breeze.

Cons

Very low morale in my department, was told the turnover rate in my department was 80%. Not much hope for the future of print media.

Decent people, though anal retentive

Pros

Very honest management, to the point of being blunt, but at least you know where you stand.

Cons

Technical issues with start-up division were a nightmare that they had to constantly fix and refix. Looking only at the numbers puts a lot of pressure on employees.
