What does the leadership team need to get better at?
They need to stop pinching pennies with authors and either create something like Scribie's tier system, or they need to hire more editors that'll actually rate their employees in a fair, timely manner.

Communication and process efficiency. They seem slow, unorganized and implement policy on very arbitrary bases with no consideration for facts that vary wide in different cases or how they directly impact authors who produce TB's own commodity that generates its revenues.

There's little to no overhead enforcement. It's as if clients can get away with whatever they please.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Vastly under paid for the amount of work they expect.
Review from Marketing Dept
it comes down to compensation
The pay is extremely low for the amount of work that is required. This is less than minimum wage at times depending on how much work is even available
Review from Marketing Dept
Not only do writers have to write the original article, but they're also subject to handling any revisions that the client wants. Each writer is being paid one or two cents a word to work the job of writer and editor.

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Not positioned to offer meaningful input on this particular issue, as all communication is via email or phone. No routine meetings between clients and affiliated freelance writers are permitted for obvious reasons. Nor does TB host teleconferencing sessions for real-time contact with other authors.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Better explaining our services to clients so they better know how to ask for what they want, and by creating a more involved, cooperative atmosphere for the authors. Also, update the leaderboard, it's been sitting there for six weeks.

More process efficiency and equitable dealings with its most valuable asset - HUMAN resources!

What would you improve about your company's interview process?
It's rather slow, clunky and unintuitive; these problems solved, and it'd be adequate.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Employees are overworked and under paid.
Review from Marketing Dept
too many silly restrictions and not enough compensation for the amount of work
Unfortunately, Textbroker mostly attracts indifferent and inconsiderate customers, although there are a few wonderful clients that use our services.
TB's head honchos have been misled into thinking they run things but are truly just back-end puppets being pulled on strings from far away. The best way to improve their position is to begin with admission of error and oversight. Then, re-prioritize a new agenda to organize processes and procedures.

Content mills really should be eliminated.
