Pros
I love that BVM gave me the ability to make my own schedule and spend more time with my kids. I love that I can make as much money as I want to, all I have to do is work for it! I love the insane potential that is there for anyone to take advantage of. I have nothing but positive things to say about the support from above, from the CEO and the Canadian president to other publishers, the company culture is that of support and positivity and it is a great feeling to be part of it. Management are always available to chat, and they are great at reaching out to let you know that you are doing a great job, or to simply offer support when it is needed. In fact, the president called me today just to check in and let me know that they understand if I need to take things slower with my current pregnancy. SO supportive. I have loved getting to know the small businesses in my community. The networking is fun and if it comes naturally to you, the job will be very enjoyable. When your magazine gets published, there is a huge network of people there to help you make it fantastic. I am always amazed at what a great job the designers do, the finished product is something I can always be very proud of. This has been a great career move for me due to the flexibility, the potential for income and the supportive environment.
Cons
If you can't motivate yourself, this isn't for you.
