Pros

Completely remote position, excellent graphic design and editorial support, superb healthcare benefits and PTO.

Cons

Work-life balance is highly dependent on the team you work for and your supervisor. Poor client expectation management. Secretive about promotion timelines and path. They prioritize making money rather than supporting staff. Long and somewhat ridiculous training that takes you away from your work. Bonus structure makes it almost impossible to consistently get a worthwhile bonus.

Pros

Great projects and always busy with more work

Cons

Many teams have bad/least experienced managers. Although the the team is great and swift in learning new skills need basis, these managers ruin it. No Career Growth No yearly bonus incentives to keep the employee motivated and feeling worth. The increments you see yearly are peanuts and not worth spending the rest of your life here.
