Pros

- Once you understand/get into their system, it's pretty easy to navigate - Remote working is a benefit - Some of the production editors are helpful and easy to communicate with

Cons

- The pay is incredibly low -- £4.70 for proofreading; £42.17 for writing per 450 word content pieces -- for the level of 'perfection' expected (the quality of submissions is dubious to start with, although perhaps some clients don't care how boring and repetitive some of it is) - They are only able/willing to pay via PayPal; if there are any payment issues or problems, you have to take them up with PayPal, which can be very frustrating

Pros

There are so many things I love about this place. Recently we've merged with Jellyfish Global and things are going well. Amazing communication with project teams Various types of copywriting Room for growth

Cons

I just haven't seen too many projects launch in the network. Once you've been accepted to a project you're in there and they can bring you on for future projects which is great, but the actual quantity of projects available for my country is low. This is just my personal experience, so it could definitely vary.

Pros

Technically, I was released before actually working with them. So at least I didn't actually waste any real time working for them.

Cons

I took an on-boarding conference call with them, during which they said that I was hired. They told me that my subsequent core skills assessment would be for training purposes. But upon completing the assessment they fired me instead. It would've been nice if they had said that this was not a training exercise but a pass/fail assessment. Further, it would have been nice to know where I failed as they were giving me the ax.

Hi, Thanks for your feedback.

We have checked this internally and can see that you were given written feedback on the results of your core skills test. Unfortunately, we cannot give very in-depth feedback to prospective applicants due to the volume of freelancers in our Network. We’re sorry for any confusion caused during the application process. We’re reviewing our communications for this process to avoid causing any confusion for future applicants. If you’d like to discuss this further or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email us on support@quillcontent.com. The Network team will then get back to you as soon as possible.
