"Cactus Communications is one of my regular clients and I have developed an excellent working relationship with my contacts there. I receive a regular flow of work, and the co-ordinators who assign the work are very helpful in responding to my needs for flexibility in the amount of work I can handle. Any feedback provided on my work has always been useful and constructive. " Read more
"The friendly informality of the staff, which I experience in emails on a daily basis, is grounded in a high degree of professionalism. On occasion, Cactus has sent me thorough and intensive analyses of my edits, along with suggestions and resources for future reference. To this end, they have also created an online resource with guidelines, style sheets, and suggestions that reflects the importance they give to both editors and clients. It is a pleasure to be on a team that continually improves and is always trying to work at a higher standard, but without the lunatic perfectionism that corporate ambition often engenders." Read more
"I began working with Cactus as a freelancer, in the fall of 2009. The experience since then has confirmed my test; it has been nothing short of rejuvenating. I do really enjoy working with ideas broadly and helping others convey them clearly, logically, and convincingly. In addition to all the benefits of working from home, in an odd way I now feel more connected to the larger economy as a whole, since I know that I am truly fulfilling my customers’ needs." Read more
"I would recommend working with Cactus to any freelance editor or proofreader. In working with Cactus, the respect that tends to be lacking in our line of work is found in abundant supply, and it is evidenced in everything they do: clear explanations of client expectations, before work begins; prompt responses to my questions and queries; constructive criticism, rather than blame or finger-pointing, when the inevitable issue arises; and prompt payment of invoices. I truly could not ask for more, from a business relationship. " Read more
"Working for Cactus Communications as a freelancer is a great
opportunity for me. I enjoy being part of the global economy
while working from my home. I hope to spend a year or more
living abroad someday, and freelancing for Cactus will allow
me to work productively anywhere in the world. I appreciate
being able to set my own hours and determine my workload.
Cactus has been great about providing this flexibility while
still ensuring timely and quality work from its freelancers. " Read more
