Garbage In, Garbage Out

Pros

There are zero pros with this job, unfortunately.

Cons

Think twice before taking a position with this company. There is virtually or physically zero training and they expect you to learn through osmosis. I have been in the business for over 20 years and found this to be extremely frustrating. If you don't know how to do something, they will blame it on you and don't you dare get a disability. They will find a way to get you out of there faster than you can say the word "go". No professionalism, ethics, digital knowledge on a local level and ridiculous expectations for a network that has seen better days. I honestly can say it was one of the most negative experiences I have ever had in the business. If you enjoy micromanagement, this gig is for you! Save yourself!
