Static Media reviews

The pay is a joke ($21 an hour). The level of output expected (400 words per 3 hours, plus photos, plus building in CMS, plus going back and making changes when editors suggest things) is not OK. As a result, you put in extra hours or you get a notice about falling behind on word count, so once I do the math, I'm really getting paid like $15 per hour. This is a job for interns getting their foot in the door and nothing more. They constantly drop changes to policies in Slack, and editors tell you different things. They expect deep dive-level research and super specific formats done in three hours. hey also expect you to be there on a set schedule (you can change this, but they want you online at those times). Either it's freelance, or it's hourly part-time, but it cannot be both. They want their cake and to eat it too, all for peanuts. Also, I was told we can pick up additional hours, but there has been a freeze on that since August (it's December).

They take advantage of employees and massively underpay with unfulfilled promises of promoting from within (unless you are a favorite, of course)
