    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.

    I worked at Academia Research for more than a year

    Pros

    There were always new jobs to take year round. I never once experienced a shortage of work orders, even over the summer or winter break.

    Cons

    There were a few times when payments were late. I was never shorted or paid less than I should have been, but there was one time when they were two weeks late paying me.

    Advice to Management

    Keep your payments on time and your good writers won't have reason to seek work from other sites. I had to work for other sites because I could not go one month without getting paid because payments were late.

    I have been working at Academia Research for less than a year

    Pros

    The Writer Support service is usually available in 5 mins

    Cons

    1. Unreasonable fines ( the decision is made by them and cannot be challenged / appealed) 2. Low Pay, the money offered is not proportion to the efforts and time invested. 3. Few jobs, not many jobs to take and clients can request revision of your work as many times as they want..... 4. Possible calls made at 3 or 4 A.M. about the Orders you take

    Advice to Management

    You take up jobs in US and UK using so many websites, but you set up your base is in Cyprus???? Try to at least establish a physical branch in each region. Don't wanna work with you guys anymore..
