The company is disorganized and constantly changes priorities.

Business Outlook

Pros

I worked with some good people, but most weren't able to grow their skills because the management was so poor and building from within wasn't a priority.

Cons

Stressful environment that neither provided the support nor resources necessary to execute a project effectively. Many projects were abandoned and millions of dollars were wasted due to short-term thinking.

Pros

Flexible hours, lots of opportunity if you play the game.

Cons

All the wrong people are in charge. People get promoted if they just work a lot, not if they work smart.

Started Okay, but Went Down Hill.

Business Outlook

Pros

I enjoyed the flexible hours, the amount of work available, and most of the editing staff. The editors reviewed articles in a timely manner, and payment was almost always on time.

Cons

After working there for six months, the company went through a series of changes that altered the way writers picked up new articles. Unfortunately, for many of us, that meant a lot less work. There were also some concerns with the editing staff.
