Pros
You get to write articles about sport, how cool is that?* (more in cons) Completely remote. If you are good at what you do, it's pretty chill, you don't hear much from anyone other than being given a headline and a source. Reap what you sow - The more you do, the more you earn. The more willing you are to learn and receptive to feedback, the easier your job becomes. Pay is just about enough if you work fast and very hard, but it's not big money ($10 per article) - this is something you do if you have few outgoings, and because you love the sport. Good stepping stone to prepare you for the industry if you want to move on.
Cons
You get to write about sports, however, it's often not quite what you'd hope. A lot of the content you write is pretty sad, far from what you expected. Lifestyle articles make up an increasing amount of your workload, and it's essentially 'someone posted something on IG, make an article out of it.' Gets old fast. People are generally nice, but you notice a lot of people in high places have no real idea of what they are doing and push a lot of morally objectionable content (can be very clickbaity/race-bait). Pay isn't enough to live comfortably in the UK. Pay is in dollars, which means it goes through intermediary banks and can take 2 weeks to arrive. Bank holidays and weekends cause delays. This is not SK's fault; they have no control over this, but it's something to be aware of. People will contact you when you are off or at strange hours, this is mostly accidental, as there are people working across the globe in different time zones. If you are bad at your job and make a lot of mistakes, you'll know about it. Have seen some people taken on who shouldn't have been hired, just unable to do the job, which causes problems for editors, content managers, other writers. Training is on the job, and largely depends on editors to give you feedback. Communication can be tricky via email/WhatsApp/Slack, and some editors run low on patience, as training writers isn't really their job.
