Pros

There are still good people at the company who defend the front lines every day, but don't have any rearguard.

Cons

Fund that owns Earth Class Mail yanked the previous CEO along with the whole management team at the beginning of 2020 and replaced them with a despot who singlehandedly rules from his remote overseas ivory tower (attic) via email. Unchallengeable process along with endless documents and reports are valued over any human interaction, to the point where document format is superior to the content or common sense. Employee retention and satisfaction is laughable (or rather sad). Most of the talented employees fled elsewhere or looking to do so, new managers are being parachuted in without ever meeting the team by the order of his highness ceo. (If you're reading this while interviewing for a leadership role there, ask yourself why you haven't interviewed with anyone other than the ceo, and do you want to be in the company where important decisions are made in vacuum by an executive order.) They recently hired an HR executive to help with talent leakage, and they left within the first three days of employment!!! A tart cherry on top of the company is the fact that leadership is now exclusively represented by white males over 50yo. Drastic change over 2019, when 60% of the leadership were women with the Hispanic female CEO. BTW, don't trust an anonymous review on the internet, check out current Earth Class Mail leadership on Linkedin along with their tenure.

Pros

The job is remote, which is really the only nice thing I have to say about the experience.

Cons

Roles/responsibilities constantly changing. A lot of wasted time in meetings. End up doing a lot of management work for them. Poor communication. In all the experience was all over the place, the role kept changing, consistently asked to do things not specified in the job description or that I had been hired for. Very unorganized. Bad follow-through on compensating me for extra work. It took months to get paid for additional work I had been asked to do. Even then the pay was not what had been promised. Management is all over the place, very poor and unprofessional work experience. When wanting to take time off, I had to give reasons why and plead my case as to why it was important. If you expect a remote job in which you have your responsibilities and you can clock in and work, and then work is done at the end of the shift, this is not that role. Management is far too intermingled in your personal lives, but in a manipulative way, to where they can put more responsibility on you. Compensation for the role is very low. I started through a temp agency and was promised I could renegotiate my salary if/when taken on full-time. Then was stonewalled when the time came, and given the run around of excuses. There is no opportunity for advancement. I took this job while a student, and it primarily served its purpose, other than making barely above minimum wage in my market. I would avoid it unless you really want a primarily remote-based work environment, with that being the only positive.
