Lots of work, but difficult to deal with. - Editor FirstEditing.Com Employee Review

I get recognition as an elite, experienced editor with one of the longest-standing online editing companies. The company provided additional editorial training, and I achieved certification as a developmental editor. Best of all, I am supported by client account managers who provide answer calls for customer service, so I get to focus on just editing.

Providing samples for clients requires that I have to prove myself again and again as an editor. (I get a bonus for this work, but it is honestly not huge financially.) Also, I work online which can be lonely.

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.
