Pros

Co-workers are knowledgeable, willing to teach, well-versed in their fields.

Cons

Bottom-of-the-barrel payscale, will dangle a "performance bonus" when hiring; it won't see the light of day. They'll classify you as a "contractor" despite setting you to firm work hours, offloading the costs of employing actual *employees* the workers. They are incredibly meticulous with their hour-tracking as well: if you for some reason need to go to the hospital in the middle of your shift, you can expect an email from your immediate supervisor demanding to know how you're going to 'make up those lost hours', despite being an "independent contractor". Their payroll department will also screw you out of days worked on your final pay period, so be prepared to eat that loss when you walk out the door. Responsibility structure is also incredibly lateral; nobody is directly responsible for anything, so be prepared to shoulder the blame for everybody else's mistakes on your team(again, despite being an 'independent contractor'). All the disadvantages of being an employee AND all of the disadvantages of being an 'independent contractor', all rolled into one.

Pros

You can work from anywhere in the World.

Cons

Low pay scale will fool you an additional "imaginary" performance bonus. The Teams are comprised of writers that are inexperient to the Financial Markets, they will fabricate a nice fancy headline for your experience. Most of the people on the teams are not trades, never traded before or have a concept of financial markets, yet they are "Editors" reporting the financial markets. Some will look and SMA's and report after the fact - in a nutshell, it's all about the per article view (click rate). I found terrible working for 8 hours and be paid bellow USD 1000.00. Communication is via Slack and all is superficial. Bottom line is that the site information renders useless to the reader because of shell empty articles after the fact.
