Exactly what you should be looking for in a career - Digital Account Coordinator LocalVox Employee Review

The LocalVox team is a terrific company to work with. They are, in no particular order: attentive to details; focused on providing positive experiences for both the client and the freelancer; passionate about what they do; and readily available to field questions, comments, and concerns. Pay rate is among the most competitive in the industry, and they appreciate and reward a job well done. Simply put, working with LocalVox is a pleasure.

I have encountered no drawbacks in working with this company.

I currently freelance for LocalVox's editorial department and am very happy with the arrangement. They don't micromanage their writers and they consistently give me a huge volume of work with very reasonable turnaround times. The pieces are short so if you're fast, efficient, and competent it's a great gig. Management seems approachable and generally level-headed. Unlike another reviewer I've found them to be very communicative about new policies or expectations. I've never had an issue with them and it's a real treat that I don't have to personally deal with clients. I do other freelance work as well, but it's nice to know that I have a chunk of consistent work coming in from one source. I'd write for them exclusively if I could afford it!

The only issue with LocalVox is the rate, which is why I only give them 4 stars. I wouldn't be surprised if they have a lot of writer turnover because they expect extremely high caliber writing for a relatively low rate. You have to be a fast writer to make a good hourly wage doing this kind of work. I understand starting writers at a low rate, but there does not appear to be any system for advancement or higher earning. It's a flat rate scenario, which is outlined in the contract. It just seems that if they want to keep their best writers working for them long-term they might provide potential for an increased rate or a bonus system of some kind.
