Pros

-Work from home. -Decent pay for first-time journalists. -Friendly staff. -Good exposure. -Your portfolio will grow quickly. -Looks good on resume.

Cons

-Sometimes the editors don't do a good job at editing. Sometimes I'll read my articles after they're published and see typos or other editorial mistakes that the editor either didn't correct or, in some cases, added themselves. -Ensuring the content is SEO-friendly is often prioritized over good writing. -Remote writers have the option of going into the Bustle offices, but upper management doesn’t go out of its way to invite us to headquarters or to Bustle events.
