Went from loving to hating my job in 1 month
Pros
Good pay, nice pto and paid sick days. Some people say they have no work life balance but I personally have never worked over 40 hours a week. I’ve worked with super talented people who have taught me so much and I’ve learned a ton at this job thanks to my immediate coworkers
Cons
The company's decisions took me from loving my job to hating it in just a few weeks. - FULLY quantity over quality driven - Took away all our creative freedom and incentive to do good work - No one really has power to change anything except the VP and ceo. even directors and managers seem as helpless as the rest of us most of the time. - Used to be hybrid with WFH fridays and is now 5 days in person, no exceptions. they made us come in on a snowy day and a coworker crashed their car on the way to the office, so that's just an example of how much they hate remote work. - They laid off half the department of writers and video editors (~130 people) and then 2 weeks later I see a job posting for a video editor for the same department. Decisions like this happen all the time and make no sense. I don't regret taking this job, like I said I’ve learned a ton and the salary really improved my life. However you pretty much have to disassociate your job from the rest of your life if you don't want to be annoyed and angry most days.
