Pros

Kindness and empathy from specific coworkers and superiors, some flexibility of schedule, consistent work

Cons

Low pay rates, high turnover, shifting priorities with poor communication of expectations, faked compassion from higher ups, unclear direction, false promises of promotion to keep high-production/underpaid writers from leaving, layoffs via mass email citing a transition away from a part-time model yet continuing to hire for part-time positions
