Pros

- Good working environment - Good people who make you feel welcome - Flexibility with time off and working hours - Direct management is A+ - Direct management is open to new ideas and feedback - Fun office atmosphere with dogs in the office - Good opportunity to learn about SEO and client experience

Cons

- Low base pay is not competitive enough to be able to afford to live in the Tampa Bay area - Very rare opportunities to move up and advance your career, unless you force their hand with another job offer - This is more than an entry-level role, you are compensated as entry-level - No opportunity to get a raise in current position, or in most of the company - Compensation structure does not incentivize employees to retain clients - Underlying problems with products and services, many of which are behind the rest of the market - Even with a promotion you will be making far below the market rate - Intentionally hire people with less experience knowing that they can retain them longer with less pay - You can get your job done in 40 hours and not have to work overtime but it will be hard to produce high-quality work, employees that produce high-quality work are working overtime and are not compensated or recognized for it
