    I worked at Academia Research part-time for more than 3 years

    Pros

    Good selection of orders to choose from. very challenging...

    Cons

    They are pro-customers, not pro-writers. they fine you without listening to you. the minute a customer complains, they set an order to dispute and they say they're gonna review the order, but without actually asking you about the order, they impose fines. huge fines!!

    Advice to Management

    try taking care of your writers too so that you would not lose them. there are good writers who would bend over backwards for you, now and then, we too have our side to the story.

    I have been working at Academia Research full-time for more than a year

    Pros

    One of the greatest advantages here is that working hours are highly flexible, so you can construct your schedule as you want. Another good thing about it is the timely payment which pleases me the most. I’ve been working here for couple of months already, so you can easily take it from me. Besides, I like this job also because it involves summarizing and synthesizing information. The work is aimed at people who... find their writing skills good enough to cope with academic writing. So if you are comfortable with your writing skills – you are always welcomed here, the writer’s vacancies are almost all time available. So good luck in your free-lance writing.

    Pros

    I joined last 2007 but I stopped due to my class schedule, but I am back - the site has changed a lot for the better! Though I can't pick several orders, the professionalism is unquestionably 101%! The staff are professional, very caring to the writers!

    Cons

    Honestly, there's none. Academia is almost perfect!

    I worked at Academia Research part-time for less than a year

    Pros

    While I was working with Academia-Research.com, I was paid promptly. In addition to prompt payment, their support staff addresses concerns efficiently as well.

    Cons

    Thas has been few assignments in my field of expertise lately and projects are geared towards the sciences, hence little to no orders were available to be assigned to those who are more adept at Communication, the Arts and the Social Sciences.

    Advice to Management

    It would be great to see a balance in the projects available for writers to work on. Perhaps creating a forum for writers would also be a good idea.

    Pros

    Humanistic, empathetic, strict professionals, cruel quality control, and compassionate guidance for the employees almost 24 hours round. They demand only one thing ... Honesty.

    Cons

    I don't find any. The company is all correct, literally.

    Advice to Management

    Please have more staff present on Live Chat!
