Pros

Rarely had to work late.

Cons

Everything else. The CEO is toxic to her employees. She talks down to them, calls them names, and expects the world in return. There's a reason why ChannelNet doesn't have an HR department - if they did, they'd have a lawsuit on their hands. She asks very personal questions, like your political views, and makes you feel uncomfortable. As far as the work went, I had a few things useful for my resume, but it was not worth almost 2 years of my time and career experience. I didn't have a mentor, I didn't feel challenged or supported, and there is absolutely no culture. They don't invest in or value their employees, and fail to show any appreciation. I also never had a review or a raise. I bent over backwards for them and was constantly nit-picked for minuscule things. I was also treated poorly when I ultimately resigned. My boss never even said goodbye to me. Please, do not subject yourself to this sort of negativity.

Pros

Relaxed environment(most of the time) with a solid group of people, lots of bright and friendly minds and very easy to build great work relationships. Most of the higher ups are great, easy to talk to, and very helpful. If you put in the effort required, there are great opportunities for growing valuable skills and there is never a lack of work to be done. Taking part in the development and creation of brand new solutions is challenging and rewarding. Opportunities to work on many different projects and work on different skill sets is very useful. Sometimes there is quick turn-around which may eventually lead to promotions or other opportunities for improvement. Overall the company has a great culture and takes time to celebrates birthdays, anniversaries, and even holiday parties in a fun way. Many employees have been here for 5-10 years.

Cons

Small company, so sometimes things can get disorganized and fall out of place. But at the end of the day, the hardworking teams pull through which is what is important. Most harsh deadlines and scrambles are caused by impromptu changes or requests once a project has been mostly completed. There is definite room for improvement on some procedures and sometimes it can feel like working for a smaller startup even though the company has been around for decades. I believe the highest of management has a lot of say and control over individual departments which can get a bit messy and frustrating. Some employees definitely take advantage of the relaxed environment. This can be frustrating for other employees who then have to pick up their slack. The workload is not distributed evenly due to this, although this is not necessarily a bad thing and can be beneficial for the proactive hard workers. Room for growth seems minimal for most unless you are proactive and work as hard as possible and/or unexpected opportunities arise.

What is a Web Content Coordinator exactly?

Pros

Free cake monthly. Sometimes there are other snacks.

Cons

Where do I start? If you interview for the job title of Web Content Coordinator, be cautious. They are very careful about asking you what you want in a job FIRST so that when they tell you what the job description is AFTER, it strikes you as the perfect fit. Have them tell you what the job is first so you aren't tricked. If you do get hired, the higher up employees are very warm to you in the beginning, to make you believe that this is a good place to work. You gather once a month to celebrate birthdays and company anniversaries, so you get the idea that this is a place that you can stay and grow. It's not. Unless you're one of the lucky ones, which they decide probably the week you start. If you're lucky, you actually get to work on web content. If you're not one of the chosen few, you may wind up with a telemarketing gig, but at least you have a fancier title. This is the type of place you stay at for as long as it takes you to find something better. Last but not least, READ YOUR EMPLOYEE CONTRACT. They will attempt to get you to sign it asap. Don't. Take it home for as long as it takes you to Google and understand the legal speak. Also, when cuts need to be made, they oddly don't seem to go by the "last in, first out" policy. Anyone could be on the chopping block. I wonder why that is...
