Pros

Working here is all about flexibility — workload, working hours, even payment.

Cons

Please do not join this company as an SEO content writer. If you're already working for them, take my review as a warning and leave before you regret it. There are much more reliable places to write for out there. They were paying on time for my first few months, but it went downhill from there. They started delaying their payments, a few days at the start, then weeks, then months. Finally, they simply stopped paying me. Part of my pay has been owed for more than a year (and counting) and I've received nothing but broken promises, excuses, and snark when I ask about payment. I'd love to say that I don't get paid unless I chase them for it, but if only that were true. When I chase them for it, not only do they get rude and defensive, I still don't get paid.
