Pros

The compensation is reliable and impressive. If you happen to enjoy writing about academic topics and can do so speedily, this site offers great opportunities to earn extra money. If you have physical health problems and cannot work outside of your home, this site will probably provide very helpful supplementary income.

Cons

The website continually has issues which not only are not fixed, but which management nor editors directly apologize for. Expect to receive only negative feedback from the editors. Some of the project directions are very vague, and the clients do not always respond to questions in a timely manner. My primary concern, however, is the length of time that sometimes elapses before editors respond to drafts. If I submit a draft with 22 hours to spare on an order I accepted less than ten hours prior, I expect to receive notes on further drafts within a maximum of five hours. Otherwise, I must either continuously check my dashboard, or else risk missing the item's due date!
