Hello fellow writers!

It has now been an hour since I de-activated my account with essaywriters.net. As I have been an occasional lurker on this forum during the past months I felt that I should come out and share my experience so that those writers who may be thinking of joining the company have a better idea of how it works. My opinion of essaywriters.net has been all over the place since joining the company. I came from working with another essay writing company which had too low a volume of jobs and poor organization, but did pay me on time. For the first month and a half I was very happy to be working for essaywriters.net. They paid me on time, answered all of my queries within a very short time and their operators had a pleasant manner. I had no problems with quality or plagiarism and received a number of satisfactory reports from customers. I imagined at this point that I would be working for the company for a few years.

Then the June 1-3 pay period came and the problems started. That pay period was delayed for a month, and the mid-June pay period for two weeks with the excuse that it had to go through a quality assurance check. As I had not had one complaint against me and some of these orders had actually received very positive feedback it was very frustrating. I had accumulated approximately $1000.00 in unpaid orders. Eventually on the 4th of July I was paid. What I would like to point out is that the company's claim that they make regular payments is false. If you are thinking of working for this company you must know that at the busy times of the year they will delay your payments, maybe for a month or more. If you need to be paid regularly, as I do, this is not the company for you. Other essay writing companies will pay you on time, without these excuses.

The second problem that cropped up right around this time was the constant misunderstandings and unnecessary penalties that I had to clear up time and again. This company is very quick to penalize, and, although my complaints were usually dealt with fairly quickly, I had to waste a great deal of time writing to essaywriters.net to take off unfair penalties. I would like to give ONE example. Early June I picked up an order for four pages that was due within six hours. I completed the order two hours before the deadline but within an hour a terrible customer report came up saying that thanks to the writer they had missed the deadline. Apparently the previous writer had missed the deadline that morning and the customer was going to fail their course because of it. About 15 messages were needed to clear up the fact it was the previous writer who had failed the customer. The negative is still on my file although I had to go so far as to contact the disappointed customer to have her write a note clarifying that my work had nothing to do with the negative report. The pay date for the order was pushed to September which I had to fight to get changed back to its normal time. When I picked up the order I had no idea that there were any problems with it.

My frustrations reached their high point when working on an 80 page master's thesis my messages to the customer were edited and my bonus was with-held. I first saw this thesis pop up on available orders at mid-June for $5.00 a page. As that seemed a small amount to be paid for a master's level thesis I requested $1.50 more per page. It was settled that I would do it for $6.00 a page (it should be mentioned that this thesis was done by a previous writer and the client was not happy with the work done). I worked very hard on the thesis and had it done, other than minor touch-ups on the citations, within a week. The customer was very happy with it but asked me to make some additions that his advisor had suggested. I had no problem but requested that I be paid for the work. The customer had no problem with that but when it came the time to work out the amount all of my messages to the customer were edited to take out the request. I ended up doing the work for nothing. The customer was exuberant about my work and stated time and again that he would give me an excellent review. I never saw that review and I strongly suspect that it was withheld as it would mean that I would receive a bonus. It was at this moment I knew that as soon as I received my last pay I would de-activate my account.

As I was waiting for this last payment, some bonuses appeared on my account which made me happy but did not change my mind about terminating. A few days later the bonuses were removed and penalties for both a revision and a missed deadline for an order that I had finished over a month and a half before, and that had gotten excellent feedback, popped up. So once more there was a flurry of messages sent to straighten things out. This happened right before the expected pay date. In addition, positives disappeared from my profile and negatives appeared, despite the fact that I had only ever had one negative, which was unfairly passed on to me, as I mentioned above.

So to sum up this very long review if you want to work for essaywriter.net please be aware of the following:

-during busy season they do not pay regularly

-you will have to spend a lot of time fighting to have unfair penalties taken off your account

-the customer is allowed to ask for additions and you will be expected to do them for no pay

-they will stop answering your messages on the above

-your profile will be adjusted and manipulated at their whim

Finally, I would like to add that there are now a number of orders available for $1.00 and $2.00 per page. I have to ask what qualified writer would work for such an incredibly low sum. When I saw a 97 page report that paid $97.00 I just shook my head.

My experience with essaywriters.net despite its good beginning proved to be one of the most disheartening in my 20 years of studies and work experience. Please be aware of how this company works.

Positive vibes to my fellow writers,
