Pros
The flexibility is nice, if limited. Manuscripts can be interesting. Academics can polish up their writing skills for use in their own publications.
Cons
Self-employment taxes. AJE incorrectly classifies their freelance editors as independent contractors when they qualify as employees under IRS guidelines for federal employment tax purposes. Multiple former editors have filed Form SS-8 with the IRS for determination of worker employment status and been found to be employees.
