Certified Developmental Book Editor - Editor FirstEditing.Com Employee Review

Plenty of work to go around, some interesting clients.

Pay inadequate for what's expected of editors, management direct communication with editors tends to have an extremely negative/punishing tone. Unhelpful to editors. Too much emphasis on speed rather than quality.

Ability to work remotely and low bar for entry

Editors receive a minority of what clients pay, which brings the hourly rate down near minimum wage unless editors rush through projects and deliver subpar work.
