Set your own schedule, choose your workload.
Everyone is great to work with and flexible.
There does seem to be upward mobility for people who are committed to the gig, but many are part-time.
Cons
When paid by word some articles can require a lot of research and it doesn't quite even out to a great hourly.
Job requirements/standards/schedule flexibility depends upon the publication you write for.
+ High workload
+ Expectation to drop what you're doing at any time, even outside of work hours
+ Few professional development opportunities
+ Very tech bro culture, seemed inexperienced in actual people management
