Pros

Can work from home 4pm finish on Fridays

Cons

- Under resourced accounts which results in writers working longer hours and burning out - No realistic conversations with clients setting expectations of timelines. - No training or development provided for new writers - No novel or new work from clients/ clients pulling work - Very cliquey. Can feel very difficult to develop a good working relationship with people - Very hierarchical. Suggestions from junior employees are often dismissed by SMT - Lack of diversity in the workplace - Constant turnover of staff which results in gaps in resourcing

Pros

Great place. Been here almost 5 years. Highly recommend.

Cons

Well, it's been a bit tumultuous in the industry of late, but I think we're being navigated ably through it.

Pros

You get to work from home. That is the only benefit.

Cons

You will work overtime without compensation every single day. When it comes time for a raise you will consistently get below industry standard with no ability to negotiate or talk to the decision makers (they will just email you from an address you can not respond to, to avoid the chance that you may counter). When it comes time for a promotion they will give you a new salary that matches the position below your new one, and again, will give you no opportunity to negotiate or discuss your insulting raise. There are no bonuses at all, so get that notion out of your mind. Executive leadership cares more about creating acronyms than actually resourcing departments appropriately. And the moment you show a willingness to go above and beyond, instead of rewarding you, they will simply give you more responsibility with no additional compensation. I was recently promoted, and am now making the salary I should have been making in my last position. I had one of the VP’s at the company recently tell me that I should be making 30k more at least, and to start looking for a new job because this company doesn’t care about retaining talented employees.
