Pros

I took the Knowadays proofreading and copyediting classes and was able to pass the test to earn a freelance spot on the Proofed team. I found that I had a hard time finding work that was available for me in the EST zone. But I learned a lot from the experience

Cons

I felt like a lot of the work would be claimed by freelancers in the UK.

Cons

Do not pay for "guaranteed work" no matter how desperate you are for experience, etc. I got to the "guaranteed work" phase, and it is a joke. Unless an entire week's worth of work (with TONS of additional unpaid training, after the paid-for-by-you training) for a grand total of $8 appeals to you.
