Valuable learning experience but high stress and turnover

Email marketing specialist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good first exposure to client facing roles if no prior exposure. Good for learning to balance technical execution with advisory duties. Good for hands-on experience/learning CRM tools you may not have had prior experience with. Decent benefits. Opportunities to create your own “fun” side projects if you have enough drive to do so.

Cons

Long hours, frequent after-hours/on-call work, including weekends and holidays. Lack of clearly defined process/constantly changing process, making onboarding new hires challenging or educating other departments more difficult. Frequently pivoting business decisions, causing further hiccups in process. Lack of communication. Lack of upward career mobility. Base pay is relatively low. While there are opportunities for raises, chances of promotion are very rare. High stress, high turnover environment that causes scrambling to fill in gaps of lost productivity, causing more pivoting business decisions and revisions of process.

Affordable housing but overwhelming workload and staffing issues

Retail supervisor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Single status housing offered at $60/week

Cons

Expected to wear at minimum 5 hats per day. Extremely short staffed and management would rather hire J1s and temp employees than have to pay benefits and not retrain staff every 3 months

Poor leadership and lack of direction hinder real progress

Business intelligence analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Discounts at some stadiums but rarely used

Cons

Leadership is childish and doesn’t know how to speak to their team members. Absolutely little direction until something is wanted then they will badger you for it every day until it’s right even though it was thrown at you with no notice. No company calls at all so you really have zero idea what this company is doing big picture. They are falling behind competition and coming up with dilly ideas instead of looking in the mirror and asking how to make things work.
