Business Outlook

Pros

Almost all the people are good, smart, caring people. Every manager I've worked for genuinely cares about me and my professional development. Also has loads of benefits: 401(k), tuition reimbursement, scholarships for your kids, discounts on phone plans and auto purchases, and more that I can't remember.

Cons

The salary is not ideal for the cost of living in San Francisco and is generally very low for a white-collar, college-educated industry.

Beware of TOPs Term of Project positions

Editor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Low stress work environment. Very friendly and supportive.

Cons

Term of project positions, TOPs, are exactly that. Most low to mid level positions always start as these contract positions. It is the pathway to becoming a permanent staff member, but budgets often stand in the way. You are strung along for a year or two and then can easily be shown the door.
