My friend has got an offer for retainership as editor starting next week. Since it is the first time for him, there are some doubts:
1. How does it actually work? Shld he wait the whole day in front of the comp or mobile for any mail/msg reg work from the company? Or he can just be doing anything but when he gets work he needs to complete it within deadline?
2. Are retainer editors considered lower than fulltime employees? Does it show in their treatment?
3. Any future for retainers after the term in the industry? The company, of course, if they are happy may extend.
